This happens in at least one place in our farm, and until our QA co-ordinator points out other places I cant comment on if this is widespread or not.

On one page, there is an image that appears as a broken image, however going to the picture library shows that it is in fact present and the thumbnail is not broken.

Clicking on the image, goes to a display page with a broken image, however I can download it and it appears fine.

Renaming the image and re-uploading it produces the same thing, a broken image.

This is a 2007 to 2010 upgrade.

Anyone have anything like this occur?

Can you confirm the URL of the broken image is the correct? – David Lozzi Apr 23 '12 at 15:56
Yes. The url of the image is correct. – John S Apr 23 '12 at 16:09
Do you have the blob cache enabled? – sween_sp Apr 24 '12 at 1:09

I have seen this issue very recently as I am performing a rather large upgrade.

I have looked into the Fiddler responses and they were not indicative so I downloaded the image and resaved it using Gimp (using all the default JPG settings).

after uploading this new image the issue is fixed.

I have successfully performed that remedy twice and I cannot explain why the same image works fine in my parallel SP2007 farm which I'm in the process of upgrading.

Are some JPGs not like others? Perhaps, however, I wish I could give you a more quantitative answer, try re-saving it in PS/Gimp/Paint and let me know if this fixes it.

Exactly. I had a similar issue before. Try saving it using Paint or something and try uploading it again. Its just the way you are saving that is causing the issue. – Deepu Nair Apr 24 '12 at 7:25
Since I dont have GIMP i just tried it in Paint and it works. Thanks! – John S Apr 24 '12 at 17:34

These are the steps that resolved the issue for me:

  1. Select a view with broken images in Thumbnails view mode
  2. Choose Site Actions -> Edit Page
  3. From the library Web Part's Edit drop-down, choose Edit Web Part, Apply, and OK
  4. When you Exit Edit Mode, the Thumbnails appear correctly
  5. Repeat for each view with broken Thumbnails

This is the fix for it, I was hoping someone might have come up with a script that could iteratate through the sites and perform this programatically.. – pigeon May 21 '12 at 6:15
