The pictures are the best part
Posted: Sat Dec 01, 2018 12:49 am
They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and I've always felt that for this site that couldn't be more true. Often the pics are the most important part of our posts and journals. As has been noted recently, Photobucket is going away, so we're gonna have a bunch of broken image links scattered across the site.
But, perhaps surprisingly, that's only a drop in the bucket (pun intended) compared to the number of missing images already. If you're like me, then you have no idea which of your old posts have broken image links. To that end, I've done two things:
First, I've archived the site as of 2018/11/26. I have every post and referenced image, from all the sub-forums. At least I think I do... I need to check my results again and see if I've made any mistakes. (More on this later...)
And second, given the above, I have the ability to quickly generate a list of broken image links. Today I used the results for myself to go back and cleanup as many of the links in my old posts as possible, with pretty good results. (I admit I skipped the old For Sale posts.)
So, I've a list for everyone with a broken link. You can get to it here:
That spreadsheet has links to the topic which contains your broken image link, and the specific post, and the broken link itself. It's easy to click thru, look at your old post, and edit away. That is, if you have the images somewhere. (See my note in the Photobucket post for what I do.)
Here's what it looks like:
And, finally, here's a list of everyone with a broken image link, and how many:
