Hey Jay,

Thanks for letting us know, and basically extending the warning for other picture platforms as well.

Good luck Marco! Not a fun task!

I thought about a quick solution to save time and some annoyng moments.

1. Copy and paste the complete code of a post in Word
   
2. FIND and REPLACE
   
3. Paste the edited text back to the post
   
4. SAVE editted post
   

Should work, what do you think?

Not sure really. The new link names are all that has really changed so I am not sure what you would search on to replace.
Meaning, at least in my case, the old links mean nothing to me and I couldn't find anything that would let me know what the picture was.

I just edited my posts one at a time in three open windows (one up in view mode to see what I potentially lost based off what I wrote and my memory - and a second open in edit mode (or a copy of my post in edit mode in a text editor) to find the parts I was looking at - and a third with my Flickr pictures ready to visually find what was missing). A lot of ALT+TAB, CTRL+C, CTRL+V action was happening.  

Using WORD or a text editor rather than the editor here does make sense at least in the size of the viewable text. This editor window is about 1/3 of screen height, so WORD or a text editor would make life easier a bit.

I couldn't think of an easier way (aside from a text editor), but if you do, by all means, please share how!
I thought un-doing my changes would fix it on the spot, but that wasn't the case on Flickr.

Anyway.....
Good luck mate!

My little strategy worked for the first post in this thread!  

Only the album name in the image links need to be replaced. The picture names stay the same.

Excellent!
So Flickr just sucks in naming conventions then and Photobucket is at least easy to fix some things!
Flickr uses a random string, not album or photo names in the links so there is no clear identifier.

But again, great news on the ease to fix things with Photobucket!

cheers!

Shouldn't be too hard I think?

Just go to organize mode, select the pics you need, press link, choose thumbnails or images, copy, paste and presto. That's how I do it with my limelight when I want to update.

MARCO, sorry to bother you my friend, but do you have a copy or link to "creating a figure" from CE 2 that Chris G. and Mattias presented? If anyone else has a link.... thank you : ) I've done several searches and came up with nothing : (
Steve

PICS are up again!!!    

(took me luckily only a few minutes to restore about a hundred new links by replacing them in Word)

Hey Steve,

I think you are referring to the presentation "From Idea to Reality: Making Star Wars Collectibles" which was given by Bill Cable, Mattias Rendahl, and Chris Georgoulias last Saturday.

I attended this panel to hear about how action figures were being made from design till production via all the different stages of preproduction: silicon mold,, hardcopy, protomold, first shot etc.
It turned out to be presentation about how to best make modern SW collectibles (e.g. Star Tots) in full compliance with LucasFilm. Though the presentation gave a good overview, it was a bit disappointing as I had expected something completely different.

My own fault, I could have known if I had read the info on this panel a bit more thoroughly.

Description taken from the CE2 website:
What does it take to make a Star Wars collectible? Get an insider's perspective on the process of creating and producing official Star Wars collectibles from experts Bill Cable, Mattias Rendahl, and Chris Georgoulias. They will cover every phase of the process: concept, design, approval, production and distribution; and the catastrophes that can occur at each step.

Ok clear now, obviously Collectibles ≠ Vintage action figures


BTW: I don't complain, I got a Yak Face Star Tot at the end of the presentation, and a Surprise Special Offer Ackbar patch.

I was a bit confused also on the presentation before I saw it. Thank you Marco. I appreciate you responding to my message : )
