Why Image thumbnails are not appearing? 

The very first thing that you would be concerned about is that, why all of a sudden these image thumbnails stopped working? You didn’t do any kind of changes to the template, even tried uploading a fresh new template but the results are all same. If you are seeing this bug, you’re not alone almost all blogger users are having issues with new and old image thumbnails they have on their blog. Following are some people who’re having same image broken issue with their blogs:

Since yesterday, my newly posted pictures are lacking the thumbnail. I figured earlier that the thumbnail does not get generated if all images are sourced from an external host. That's why I always upload the first photo via Blogger's upload option so that a thumbnail is created automatically.
But since yesterday, that is no longer working. I tried to create a second post today (now the latest post) just to see if the issue was related to that specific post. It appears the issue is site-wide.

Help will be appreciated.

Thanks.

All of a sudden the images doesn't show up anymore om my homepage. I have this with every website with the vortex template from templateism.com.. Can you please help me fix it?
