Aragorn-a-Day request, please!
If any of you read through the comments on today's (Aug 7) Aragorn-a-Day, you'll see that there was an issue with one of the photos inexplicably disappearing. This is the second time this has happened, where I've posted a photo from my Scrapbook, and to me, viewing it on Firefox, it's visible, but when someone looks at it with Explorer (usually Nath, as she's the quickest off the draw!), they see only the dreaded red "x" box. Then, as the day goes by, it also disappears from Firefox, and worse, it disappears from my Scrapbook! Both times I've quickly uploaded a copy to Photobucket, so I haven't actually lost any photos (thank goodness for the Photobucket Uploader add-on). But I fear if I hadn't found out about the problem soon enough, I might have.
From here on out, if I use a Scrapbook photo, I'll go ahead and make a copy of it to my Photobucket account. But because I don't often go back looking at older posts, my request is this: if you ever, on any post with photos, either personal or of Aragorn, Viggo, etc., notice that a photo has gone missing, could you let me know as soon as possible, via comment or private message if you're one of those that follows A-a-Day without commenting? (I'll be sure to allow PMs from anyone--at the moment I'm not sure my account is set up that way.) If I can still view it from the cache, I can upload it to Photobucket. Otherwise I fear it may be gone forever (or, realistically, gone until I can reupload it from my personal photos or find it somewhere via google, which with the way websites disappear, sometimes doesn't work. Indeed, many of my photos of Aragorn came from sites that are now defunct).
I've put in a support request to LJ about this issue but it's so intermittent, I have little hope they'll fix it. It's a bit maddening, to say the least!
