It’s been pretty depressing watching all the years of work in this group go up in smoke during the recent site move. Many of the amazing contributors from the past are all but gone (Ponty/No Snakes/Alastor/TZ.....many more) and aren’t in a position to salvage what remains of their labours, those that do remain are left with the daunting task of piecing their work back together before Ning is gone for good...
I’ve been looking for some kind of solution to repair all the broken image links in the most efficient way possible (with very little luck). Many of the builds here contain multiple images which makes it an incredibly time consuming process.
I do have a method I’d like to quickly share with the group hosts and any other members here that are struggling with all of this.
- For a start you’re going to need Google Chrome if you don’t already have it. (Though other browsers may have their own methods)
- Next you need to visit the chrome web store and install a free extension called ‘Image Collector’, find it here.
- Then restart Chrome and boot up the desired build over on Ning.
Image collector should quickly start working by finding ALL the original art files for the pages contents and also grants you several options for what you wish to do with them. This is incredibly useful for quickly sending all the files to your hard drives 'Downloads' folder or perhaps a seperate location online.
For members with multiple builds to save this is a great tool.
For the admins here it could be perfect for quickly providing the source files to fix up other peoples builds, the Hall of Fame would definitely be a good place to start as the builds there were selected my the masses to be the cream of the crop.
I hope at least someone out there finds this useful.
Good luck.
