Also many screenshots in the games DB seem to link there and don't work anymore. Anyone who has published a game should check the screenshots.

Ah, good point, I just went and fixed 2 of mine.

GarageGothic

Considering that a lot of people with games in the database aren't forum regulars anymore, wouldn't it be possible to solve this server wide by rerouting 2dadventure links to a replacement image (in much the same ways that bmp files show up as an "I'm with stupid" thumbnail)? If we rely on every single user fixing this himself the problem could persist for months or years.

Would it be possible to make a database query, find all games that have their screenshots there and automatically pm the persons that made the game?

GarageGothic

I fixed (I hope) all my posts linking to 2dadventure that I could change, but threads that have been locked will need an admin cleanup since we can't modify our own posts there.

FOREVER. Can somehow the admin just block or links from that site?

I emailed the domain owner about this a few days ago and he solved the problem, restoring the images and folder permission, so everything should be working fine now. I'll confirm with him shortly if no new issues are reported here. :)

And...my images are back. Good news (well, at least for those who want to see my images ;) )...

Thank you, Fred! You've saved us all from the hassle of those damn password pop-ups. If only others had been as non-lazy as you. ;D

NOW GUYS CREATE A PHOTOBUCKET ACCOUNT AND START REPLACING THOSE LINKS. It'd be shit if this would happen again.
