Stolen Image
 

What is up with the image stolen from: www.technodrome.com message everywhere?

You're going to have to be more specific. What image?

Like, all of them. Every emoji, most of the banners and avatar pics, all of it. Replaced by some message saying "image stolen from:"

Seemed to go away for a while yesterday, but I see it is back today. Seems like almost all the avatars, emojis, any graphic linked to the site. The text is showing for my avatar at the moment. My avatar is a picture I took myself. It isn't stolen from anywhere.

I'm not seeing anything.

You guys going to the wrong websites or something? :trazz:

It only happens at the HTTP link, I think.

Weird, but you seem to be right. Try typing the address in without using the HTTP if you are seeing this. It seems to go away then. I never had to do that before.

I'm not seeing anything like that. . . weird.

This, for sure.

No. Same way I have always come here for years.

That's so weird. Not seeing that at all. :ohwell: The site can't remember who it is?

For anyone trying to see it that can't. I suggest coming in from google search. Seems to trip whatever is going on.

You're right, what the heck. :-?

You're damn right, mate. Weird!

I saw that too very briefly last week. It was late at night though.

It's still doing it. And I'm coming from google search. Didnt change anything but it started last week. Every picture from the forum doesnt work. Avatars, icons, emoticons etc.

I meant if someone was trying to see the screwed up page to google it. Seems like typing the address in manually works. forums.thetechnodrome.com. Don't click the hyper link it own't work. Even typing it I sometimes have to do it a couple times.

Rather than coming via Google search, can I suggest just creating a bookmark button with the working url or if a browser remembers it and keeps it in the url drop down just select that instead (been doing that for some years)?

Not that it will fix the issue with the site, but it would at least skip the annoyance.

How long will it be before it is fixed?

I just got it, too. But I had to be very specific about how I entered the site. If I type in the url, everything looks as it should.

I hear Google ran into some legal trouble a while back due to some loophole in their image search that was depriving sites of traffic. Google got rid of certain features in response. I wonder if this is part of that?

Either way, there's little we can do at the moment. :(

This bug affected the forums when accessed over HTTPS:

It should be fixed now, but please let me know if you see any more instances.

Thanks for clearing it all up, Krang!

Thanks for clearing it up.

Feels weird seeing Krang on here before October. :trazz:

Indeed haha

Man, such a relief to see everyone's avatars again! Most of the time, I just glance at an avatar or sig, to see who is posting. It was confusing not being able to see at a glance who was speaking!
