Trouble with user and background images 11 hours ago

We’re having an issue with disappearing user and background images. Those affected will have their custom images replaced by defaults. This is due to a caching error on our side which means that your images are not lost and have not been deleted. They are not displaying correctly and we are working to get them to load properly.

Missing your profile picture? 1 day ago

We’re working on a bug whereby the default avatar is showing up for users who have previously uploaded their own image. We hope to resolve this soon.

Update (5:30p): We’ve identified the root cause of this problem and expect the issue to be resolved within the next several hours.

Tweets from users you follow may be missing from your timeline 2 days ago

We are currently working on a critical bug whereby some tweets from users you follow may not appear in your timeline. This bug particularly affects the delivery of tweets from users you follow that themselves have a large number of followers.

We plan on deploying the first part of the fix for this bug tomorrow morning and will update status thereafter.

Update: We deployed a fix for one of the underlying problems and are assessing its success.
