PhotoBucket shenanigans affecting .sig graphics
I just noticed the graphics in my .sig got hit by the Great PhotoBucket Shoot-in-the-Foot. Did anyone archive the "favourite characters" bars anywhere else?

Well, if you right-click the photobucket alert, it still gives you the link to the image, so you can save it and upload it somewhere else (I advise getting the creator's permission first). That's what I did with all my images, I put them in my DeviantArt Sta.sh (as I used photobucket to store images I only wanted a select few to see, like everyone here for my sprites, Sta.sh keeps everything private unless a link is given/3rd party hosting)
EDIT: It seems to have only worked for the Flora one for me, not the Natani. I go to the photobucket link for Flora and I see Flora on Photobucket, but the Natani link shows me the alert as well

If you go to the image on Photobucket, right-click | View Image, and then hit reload, it will reload the image without losing the Referrer header(which is what Photobucket uses to decide to break images).DarkTheImmortal wrote: ↑Fri Jul 21, 2017 5:57 amEDIT: It seems to have only worked for the Flora one for me, not the Natani.

That said, I'm not that girl who gives fractional answers, so I've temporarily buffered those two bars here:
Flora-bar0.jpg
Natani-bar0.jpg
I will take these down at some point(probably the next time I reorganize that dir, which may be soon), so please archive them to your HD, then link them/upload them to a better image-hosting service :J

FYI: There is already a similar thread about this in the 'Tech Board' section.
I deleted my Photobucket account completely after they pulled that garbage.

Thanks, I had a hunt around for relevant threads to join when I noticed the image glitching, but I didn't notice that one.Foxx Trotter wrote: ↑Fri Jul 21, 2017 2:08 pm FYI: There is already a similar thread about this in the 'Tech Board' section.
