PhotoPost Images in Forum Posts

webmaster · 11-19-2005, 09:39 AM

Before I upgraded PhotoPost I was warned that the URLs for the medium size images would change and I'm seeing the effect of that now. Forum posts that include links to medium size PhotoPost pictures will now show a X where the image should be unless the URL is fixed.

I am going to step through the posts, History first, and fix them but if you notice any broken images in your posts please fix them yourself. It may take days or weeks before every image link is fixed so viewers please be patient when you come across broken images.

Here's an example of what needs to be done:

Old URL:
winnipesaukee.com/photopost/data/150/sample-med.jpg

New URL:
winnipesaukee.com/photopost/data/150/medium/sample.jpg

The -med has been removed and the /medium added.

I apologize for the extra work this creates and I'm not too happy about it either. The PhotoPost software writers should have left those file paths alone. I'm not only seeing many errors from my own site as those old URLs are accessed but also many from Google and other search engines that index pictures.
