Is it possible for you to check if there are any links used in the GL pointing to GLPics?
I had some links to images for old puzzles etc. that were hosted on GLPics. I most likely still have the originals and could host them on PhotoBucket and edit the original posts, rather than leave a broken link. |

New Update
We are very close to the full on new launch. The new GLPics will look quite a bit different than the old one.
Your old username and password WILL NOT WORK on the new site, everyone who wants a GLPics account will have to PM me with an email address to get an account created for them.
Additionally 95% of GLPics files from the server are gone. IF you have any files left, they will be in your new GLPics account when your account is set up. If you do not have any files in your account, your files have been lost. Old links will not work, you will have to update any links that you want to share.
I will be making a powerpoint tutorial which should be ready within 6 hours, as well as instructions.
Also, I will be overseeing a monthly backup of GLPics while I am taking care of this. This is so we have something to fall back on in case this ever happens again. |
Thanks for your hard work on this, MNO. I really appreciate it, as I'm sure we all do.
I've sent a PM with my email.

i would have to go through every post on the GL with a GLPics link in it. I can do it from the "other side" so to speak.
You can certainly check yourself by searching for you as the author. This is especially true if you have an idea of what puzzles you have likely made.

We are officially back online at www.GLPics.com!
If you had an account originally, I once again will say you CAN NOT use your old credentials to get into the new site, you MUST PM me so I can setup a new account for you. PM me with your email address, and I will get back to you with your new username and password.
Also, If there is anything that was salvaged form the crash, it will be in your new account. Like I had said before, about 95% of the files were lost, so don't expect anything to be there.
Lastly, I will be Giving out temp passwords for all new user accounts. It is important that you change your password the first time you log in to the site. Check out the Powerpoint downloadthat I have done to show you how to do that and give you other basic uses on how to use the new GLPics.
Don't have Powerpoint? Here is the PDF file instead to download.
Thanks everyone for your patience while I have been working on this.

I see.
I was thinking that you might have access to more sophisticated queries or that your could query the database directly via SQL to get a list of every post that contains a link to glpics.
If it's a manual task then I'll wait until somebody complains about a broken link and I'll fix it them.
Thanks for all you work on this btw. |

If the file name is still the same, re-upload them. The url for the new files follow the same structure as the old. As long as your username is the same, the broken links will heal themselves. |
