INFO: ItemStats Icons
Sometime in the last few days WoWHead changed the location of their item icons. We were using this location to download the images for items while we were running our updates for the 3.8 patch. Apparently their web servers were returning invalid images at the old location during the transition.
What this means is that many of the downloaded images from WoWHead are actually image files with no data in them.
So... we're rerunning the update using the new icon location and we should have things sorted out soon. You can do this on the Admin->Content page or by clicking the refresh icon on a post.

UPDATE: 3/24/2008 - 8:40am EST
The majority of the items have been updated at this time and the item icons for them have been downloaded. There are too many icons to check them all, but a random sampling including some of the icons that downloaded improperly last time indicates that the icons were gathered properly this time.
If you see an item still missing an icon then a manual update of the item should fix it.

If the automatic updater didn't find it on WoWHead it may find it on another site. You can manually update them and see if it finds the item. There is no guarantee that WoWHead will be the link for every item. It is the *primary* item source, not the only one.

I still see that some links are pointing to old sites? Is the icon update related to the database links?
