Hi all I just noticed today that many of my Imageshack links are "Forbidden" and when I go to my home site almost 95 percent or more are not viewable. I am not sure if this spells the end of Imageshack for they are impossible to contact. I am not sure if it is going to spill over to this board but I was clever enough a few months back to save all the images that were on Imageshack. Problem is it will take me forever to re-insert them here so if there are any threads you want to save I would suggest using a PDF program to save them.
I will keep you posted. As I have said I have tried to contact them but it is impossible.
As I said I have the images (236 pages worth [236 x 40 = 9440 images) but the name I originally had for the file was changed in Imageshack so it will be a nightmare to fix all the threads and to be honest I don't know if I am up to the task.
Regards
Don Barone

Hi all I have just checked a couple of threads and my worst fears have been realized and almost all images ARE NOT SHOWING UP.
I feel like crying. 16 years gone just like that.

Hi all I am trying to find a new alternative to Imageshack
Lensdump does not seem to want to show it's images here ... maybe I have to upgrade to the pay version first
It shows in the BBCode but like Imageshack will not show the image.
It has been posted.
I will try something else

Okay I will try my hosting site "Altervista"
Well that works but the others do not.
I will have to explore why.

Here is one of the few images left in my Imageshack account. It was a black cat that went in front of the camera as The Canary Island Volcanoes erupted:
So we know that Imageshack still allows images to be posted on other sites.

First thread restored along with my signature picture within the picture butterfly. Only a zillion more to go.

Well it appears that the vast number of my images have returned from the dead. Not sure what happened but they are back for the time being. Not all of them but I can work around that.
That's a relief
cheers db

Well they have returned to my Imageshack homepage but not to any of my websites or postings.
The only thing I can figure is one of two things has happened.
1) The way Imageshack links to other sites has changed and thus I need to change all the links which I have done on a couple of threads and it has worked.
2) The way ProBoards allows links has changed.
Regardless the problem is still here and the only solution is going to be to replace each link, slowly and methodically either with the new way Imageshack is doing things or transfer them to my Altervista web account .
Needless to say it is going to take me forever ....
Patience please and if there are any threads you want me to fix first please let me know and I will repair them in the order asked.
I am truly sorry.
