Forum Smileys - PLEASE READ AND COMMENT

@Scrungee - currently, it is Photobucket that is the issue, yes, and appears that when an account is affected ALL images within that account are affected. Snork and Fishing are two that have been caught up in this, and those two I cannot currently find (although I have only had one evening working on this so far).

Where these smilies were used (or other blocked images for that matter), you will see the message in their place, or a 'broken link' image instead - as soon as I can replace these particular smilies with the original images or a very near equivalent, they will reappear in past posts.

It seems that Photobucket are not liking hotlinked images, which I find quite amusing given that hotlinked images is pretty much the basis of their business - but if they want to pee off millions of users and have them do what we are doing and vote with their keyboards, then that is up to them

 

Was it a really big one, the one that got away

 

I wouldn't want you to spend hours sorting this out @Fat Controller - I'm sure we can all manage with the few basic smilies.

 

It does seem pretty bad, just had a look at my old a/c which I haven't accessed for years. Here is a Mystery Object photo:

 

I'd have a look at mine if I could remember the email and password that I used to use.

 

I don't have an awful lot of time to spend on it even if I wanted to @JWK, hence the somewhat quick 'lash up' of a resolution. I am working tomorrow, but hopefully tomorrow night or Sunday I will get a chance to sort a new host site and move stuff over.

I think I will change the categories to 'Standard Smilies' and 'Large Smilies' and that will hopefully make it easier to choose.

 

Just for clarity, are we still talking smileys here, or have we graduated to asparagus? You know that @Beckie76 will be interested if we are talking asparagus......

 

I have to agree, I was very impressed by @Beckie76's bush - indeed, I probably should have asked if I could give it a more thorough check over
