Yes, I didn't process PNGs

Each month they push the limit for one more month?

Probably they receive plenty of complaints and requests for more time before the deletion

Are you planning on converting the dead geting links from backups or is that too difficult to do?

Planning: yes
Difficult: no
When: no idea I must have some free hours for that; I should maybe take a day off at work for that + also some other things waiting for imcdb.

Will they ever expire, actually?

The other night I tried to add a picture to Imageshack (not for this site, for something else) but found I've been blocked from adding anymore and there was this message:

"Since you're over the 500 photo limit you'll need to upgrade to a Premium account or you'll only be able to keep 500 of your recent photos. Older photos will expire on the 1st of August."

Just a reminder to you

I really hope to see dead geting links working again..

It is on my to-do list, but I really should check it more often

It's now changed to 1st of September. And it may well be delayed again.

That's a good time: sometimes old pictures reappear; I could backup other ones since then.

Thumbs for this movie http://www.imcdb.org/movie.php?id=93010 are still all on Imageshack and they're not .PNG what happened?

They were posted after I published the new pic upload thing. I only converted older comments.
I'll run the script on comments of that movie.

Some stats: here are the top-users of the new picture upload thing:

note: these are the numbers from about one month ago, and it only includes pictures posted by the user (i.e. not those converted from imageshack) and still used in comments (as all the unused ones were then deleted)

Cool stats

I have a request:
Can you add a link on the upload form to automatically copy/paste the thumbnail code into the comments box? (like the way the smilies popup works in the forum)
This would be a great convenience!

I do not know well javascript so I am not sure how to do that.
But indeed that could be useful. I'll try to search how to add it.

Oh wow, I didn't know I was number 5 in the top upload users

I was surprised too by these number, I wasn't expecting to find people with more than twice the amount of pics I added myself But I upload less new vehicles than in the previous years (and some add too many additional pics )

Probably someone already asked you, but I can't find it: Do you have something planned (like a script used for Imageshack), for recover pictures uploaded on Geting and now lost?

Yes, I'll recover them. I have to write the script, but it will be pretty easy to do (similar to the one I made for imageshack, except it will get pictures from my backup rather than following the links).
So do not deleted "dead" geting.se pictures from comments: they'll reappear (well, those that I backuped, as the latest ones were not backuped)
