Oh god not again (Pictures Updated 12/12/2019) (See Update 6) · 5:28am Dec 13th, 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.
(Update 6): I have now gone in reverse all the way back to chapter 90 and everything from there through present has been fixed. Several chapters along the way were perfectly fine with all pictures still there, but others were completely broken. (And of course some of said broken chapters were the longer ones with more pictures 
) In the end this was probably a good thing, because i had no idea all the animated images in chapter 97 were long gone 
they have all been fixed as well. As for chapter's 90 through the start, ill be taking care of those later, most likely next week. I'm not as worried about those because save for a dozen or so chapters starting from 90 going down, that was before i really started making the pictures a major part of the storytelling experience and more of it was fan art than anything else. I'll get them fixed up as soon as i can, and whoever was reading chapter 100 while i was fixing it up (live reader counter), SORRY!!!!!!!!!! 
Hey don't worry Calm I'll pray that you'll solve this problem in no time at all
I'll pray to Thor himself
I admire your dedication to fixing this. good work

I've spent waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much of my life on this to let it break and lose the intended effect.

Praying to Celestia seems more appropriate in this situation.
Would it be too much to ask for a complete collection of the pictures in Piercing the Heavens? Not only would it be nice to have them all in one place to look back at, but also I'm not sure if I've missed any broken ones and I don't want to have to go read everything again to see them. If it would be a lot of effort for you, don't worry about it. Just a neat idea.

I dont have them uploaded anywhere, some of them are on derpibooru, but most of them are fixed now. (at least chapter 90-present) If you want to see them you could probably just go through the chapters from there and fast scroll through them, the pictures are large, so there's no way you'd miss any of them, and you can see where they fit into the story with the text right there.
Thats really all i can think of i don't have an art archive or anything, and i dont post them all on derpibooru because of spoilers. I felt bad cause i once had to tell an artist i REALLY like to wipe her description of a pic clean because she spoiled a large chunk of recent chapters while talking about how cool she thought it was. It was a bit of a panic reaction, i still kind of feel bad about it, but i worked really hard to set up the story to be best experienced in order from the start so im a little protective of the process
