Non-user profile images

Since the changes to author and user galleries, the "Recent Members" gallery - https://www.librarything.com/gallery/recent - has been acquiring significant numbers of pictures, usually of book covers, that end up in a message "No picture." when clicked. Examples: https://www.librarything.com/pic/9164384 https://www.librarything.com/pic/9162809
These images aren't associated with user profiles at all.
I've tried to search for these as works, usually without success, but https://www.librarything.com/pic/9161897 does seem to exist as the work titled Bantar - https://www.librarything.com/work/28298102

Probably the accounts got deleted? or the photos did

Could they be images uploaded to private profiles?

I think they might be leaking through from the cover uploading system.

An example. Here's a screenshot of a group in the gallery at the moment

"Weeping Soul" is https://www.librarything.com/pic/9164384. It is catalogued at https://www.librarything.com/work/28363591/summary, but has 0 members. The cover is a user-uploaded cover with no details as to the uploader. The author is also incorrectly entered - the surnames and given names seem interchanged.
I can't find "Summary and Analysis of Plays Well with Others" using site search yet.

conceptDawg will be looking at this today, he is aware of the issue and is working on nailing it down, thanks for the report!

>6 kristilabrie: Thanks. Weirdly now the "Weeping Soul" and the "ViDançar" image have gone!

Just noticed that a lot these images seem to be Early Reviewers covers.

I think I've fixed these issues. To a point, anyway. There are some things with the way we categorize images within our data that I need to work through so that we can get better organization of images on these pages. But until then at least the links work correctly.

>9 conceptDawg: Since this change the "Other Pictures" area on the right hand side no longer shows the thumbnails of other pictures for this user or author.
Previously this made it easy to verify that images were duplicates.
