Title: [S] ...but It Disappeared!
Hogwarts Unleashed - December 2, 2007 07:50 PM (GMT)
So on my board, I have a banner (as most everyone else does) but as of lately, it has not been loading. The little box with the red "x" shows up and that's it. Some people have said that they don't get even that. There's nothing about bandwith or anything, just that it doesn't work. Any ideas on how to fix this?

The picture doesn't show for me, nor do I get an x, just your alternate image text, which seems to be for Photobucket, despite the fact the link is to an ImageShack account. O_o All I see when I copy the link of your image and try to view just the picture in my browser is an ImageShack 404. Maybe you should re-upload it to ImageShack and try that out? Are you sure your ImageShack account didn't expire, possibly?

Actually, someone else uploaded that banner. I would have to contact her and upload it. As far as the photobucket to imageshack thing is concerned, I have no clue what's up with that.
So I should just go to the perosn who made it and ask them to give me the original file for the banner so I can uplaod it to my own photobucket acocunt?

That would be what I'd do, yes. I'm not 100% sure that's the problem, but it seems to be. Any time anyone makes you a graphic, don't expect them to host it for you. Uploading it to your own account is proper etiquette for these things, as you're stealing their bandwidth on their accounts otherwise. Plus, they may simply delete your picture one day without telling you, too, as they're cleaning their accounts one day and whatnot.

Yeah... I know, but my computer's so spazzy that whenever I try and upload something, my computer shuts down and stuff...
*thinks hard* 7 months to new laptop... Not soon enough.

*Cough* I understand spazztastical computers completely. My old one was a dinosaur's grandpa, and was a pain in the butt times infinity. >_> It never wanted to stay logged in to PhotoBucket for some reason (Or Hotmail). I'd log in, try to upload something... and be logged out and have to try again. >_<

Hmm... It reappeared on its own anyway. I'm still going to do what you said, to be safe. Thanks for your help though!
