    Solved Help forum images disappearing

    Post by felicity4us2 January 18th 2012, 6:55 pm

    http://www.igdid.com/forum

    Our images are disappearing. They don't show in Firefox, IE (just a little red x), safari (a little blue checkmark) - but....they show up perfectly on chrome. We have cleared our cache several times - this is not working - and each time I refresh, more are gone. (they are not there at all on firefox).

    This will be a HUGE job to put images back in - can you help?

    For everyone's info who might care - this is why my images disappeared.

    "Stop SOPA and PIPA


    In protest of SOPA and PIPA,
    Little URL will be blacked out for 24 hours
    Click here to continue to Little URL...


    Although this act may seem extreme, it simulates what would happen if this legislation were to pass. Simple sites such as this one may become blacklisted by the government with little to no say by the sites developers and creators.


    Web developers like me have devoted hundreds of hours to deliver great products to you and we have built a huge network known as the Internet. We have written, debugged, and launched the software behind the sites, defined standards and protocols, and have built social and economical benefits that we all use every day.

    If these bills were to pass, it would create uncertainty and fear for developers like me to use technology in new and innovated ways. Despite amendments to SOPA, they still would have drastic consequences to the Internet. Including the potential for online censorship from the government and penalize users of the Internet for expressing themselves and communicating online.

    The current bills also contain threats towards the brilliant engineers who build software or offer online services that are not automatically compliant with censorship guidelines by the U.S. government. This will damage the security of the network, and give the government more power over what their citizens can read and publish.

    I believe that the Internet that we have all come to love and use is too precious to throw away over a silly law.

    Sincerely,

    Henry Saniuk, Jr.
    Developer of Little URL "

    Okay, so hopefully - this means that they will return in 24 hours.

    Best, Felicity

    Hi, I can still see images on your forum using Firefox. However, which images are you referring to in particular?

    Also, what does this have anything to do with this SOPA thing? Confused

    Because the images that are missing were the ones I hosted through "Little URL" site - and they are down for the SOPA protest. I am glad I visited the site before totally freaking out. Thanks.
