Constant problems loading chapters older than 2 month

[Monceber]

So, I've been holding of mentioning this issue, as it could've be related to the database issues, server moving, or whatsnot. But it's been going on for a while now (2-3 weeks at least, maybe even longer), so I thought I might bring this up finally.

So, what I've been noticing with a lot of older chapters (like mentioned in topic, dividing line is 2 month or so, never bothered to check) - they just fail to load. Not the entire chapter, but only some of the pages. It's easily observable with preload enabled - red pages would appear from time to time on the page list. Broken pages would appear as "blah failed to load, please tap to reload" (which often doesn't help and only lead to both pages to be broken) or simply show up as broken thumbnail.

Just to be clear, this is definitely not the case with my ISP, since I've double checked numerous times (just by going to another aggregator and loading similar chapter), I've also checked it from another place with different ISP and still managed to get this problem.

Here are some pictures:

100-nin, chapter 3.1

Random older chapter (65) from Isekai Nonbiri Nouka

Just to reiterate - this didn't happen even once when opening new chapters that have just been uploaded, only for older ones.

Do they reload if you tap?

 

[Monceber]

Not always - sometimes it may take a couple of tries for it actually to successfully reload. Sometimes page (manga) just end up as broken thumbnail and I need to refresh the page (web) to actually try again.

Edit:
Another example, with broken thumbnail:

@Monceber have you tried changing the image server?

@Lymus
Here's a result of testing with different servers:

From the quick test Rest of the world seems to be more stable, but I'll need to use it for longer time to be able tell for sure. As you can see from above, this issue still happens there.

I am having the same problem with Maseki Gurume

I have tried all of the servers and the chapters older than 2 months will not load properly.

 

[Holo]

Loads OK for me. Where are you?

 

[Superioreos]

I am also having the same problems with older chapters but just like OP, the newer ones load fine. I am in the US, in Michigan.

 

[Eleshis]

I too am having this issue. I'm in Florida

 

[Tuka76]

Having same problems, Seems even some(not many) new ones are not loading too. GA, US. Though its not 2 months, seems it about 20days to a month for me.

 

[OmniscientOnion]

Just had this issue. Still having it, actually. No matter how much I wait for it to load, it doesn't - I've checked my connection, used different WiFi networks, etc., and it still doesn't. Titles ranged from 2-3 months to 2+ years.

 

[blackyawgdom]

All chapters for all series listed load fine for me. even on multiple computers and browsers and even the most dangerous place on the internet. Starbucks Public Wifi.

Is anybody having the problem using the Legacy reader or have you set the image servers to a specific instead of Automatic
