Oh god not again (Pictures Updated For those who missed) · 2:31am Dec 12th, 2019
Just want to check to make sure this isnt just a problem on my end. Have all my pictures in the story suddenly vanished with some sort of "Upstream response not supported" message for everyone?
(Update): Strangely, it appears that not all of the pictures have been screwed, though i dont know why the ones that got broked are borked and why those that aren't aren't. I don't know what the hell Postimage did this time, but it looks like i have to fix their crap AGAIN. Apologies to all readers and anyone currently reading. I will do my best to go through and fix all of this tonight when i get home from work.
(Update 2): Just contacted postimage and tried my best to ask what's going on without breaking my foot off in their ass. Will update when i get a response.
(Update 3): Havent gotten a reply from post image, but it looks like this might be a fimfiction problem. Images all over the site are not working.
(Update 4): Looks like postimage changed the way their url's work, several images are linking to a page instead of the picture itself now for some reason. Im going to fix the latest chapters for now, but ill be doing a majority of fixes tomorrow. Sorry for the inconvenience
(Update 5): well i checked from the most recent chapter back through 143 and this is just plain weird. Aside from 164-166 barely any of the pictures were missing from the chapters back through 143 save for one or two chapters where they were all screwed. there doesnt seem to be any distinct cause, some are still there, some are messed up and sometimes they are right next to each other (I checked my baby chapter 130 and literally every picture is still there, but almost ALL of them are missing from the stupidly long chapter 129 right before it.) So tomorrow i plan to sit down and run through every chapter going backwards from 142 to make sure they are all fixed. Then from there i'll go about fixing my main page... and then hopefully my other pages aren't too broken. My info pages wont be that hard to fix, but if the fanart blogs are bad... oh man thats gonna be a chore.
Just be glad you are not dealing with a screw up that involves working with ANY government agency to fix.

Or trying to tell three postal carriers that your house exists
Definitely appreciate the work you're doing for us!
If there’s other things missing, I have a PTH artwork collection. It’s far from complete, just the pictures I liked enough to put in an album and hasn’t been updated in 2 years. Some of them are from the fan art blogs.

I remember when I was rereading the older chapters many of the earlier ones had missing/broken images.

Thanks, i can reference that if need be. before chapter 100 my personal database is kind of spotty, but i know lots of the older older images from Fox and the like are also on Derpibooru. And even if they aren't there, i can actually follow the image address (at least the ones from postimage) and re-save the image and reupload.
In short, this is just a pain. Wouldn't be the first time something like this has happened though.

Yeah, after 7+ years working on something there are bound to be technological slip-ups.

USPS is easy try Department of Veteran Affairs, I was Racing, and mountain climbing somehow while I was in a VA hospital in another state, had to get a senator involved to get that fixed.
had one guy that had lost both legs that VA was denying his claims for over 3 years stating that he had no proof that he had been disabled...
