Hey guys, I'm not sure if it's the same for other users, but it looks like a lot of the custom images for the forum broke, such as bubbles and the thread icons. Do we know where those images are hosted, or does anybody have those images saved somewhere themselves? Perhaps the image host had them taken town, or they might need to be updated.

From a visual inspection, I do not see any icon linking problems.
I also used the theme manager to verify the images are still active, from what I can see, the images are still there and accessible.
There is a function to backup the theme to your computer in the theme manager if you have admin access.
I am uncertain if moderators can access the theme manager.
Sometimes certain browsers react in unpredictable ways, especially where images are concerned.
I know elsewhere someone was seeing a code error with a non-linking problem and I did not have that issue.
I use Safari as my browser.

Ah yes it seems to be fixed now. How weird. Must have just been a weird hiccup.

That's happened to me before too when I access the forum after not closing my tabs on Chrome for a while. Sometimes the images just don't load properly so either I'll refresh the page or restart my browser. Should be all good now, keep us posted if it happens again for a longer period of time š

Uh oh, now it looks like the photobucket crash has hit the forum now. I've been seeing it happen all around with the web lately with images hosted with photoshop. I'd recommend using Imgur.

It isn't because of any specific way the images are formatted, I use Photoimpact and GIMP, all my photobucket links were deactivated as well. I am in the process of rebuilding my galleries with the imgur site. It was the best choice for me, because I could use my google account to sign up/sign in. The reason is because Photobucket decided that remote hosting will now cost $400 per year. Since I objected to this company charging for a previously free service, I downloaded as much of my library as I could retrieve and terminated the account. FYI, they emailed me again today asking me to upgrade my deleted account to paid "in order to have remote linking enabled". I think they're just getting greedy, especially considering they're mailing an ex-customer to get money!!!! So I think the images have to moved to another server that allows remote linking. Maybe even installed on the LittleAriel website. The forum owner will have to take this action though, as I don't have access to the original image files. |
