What happened to the links for project images?

Previously, if you right clicked on a project and clicked “Copy image address” you'd get a link like:

https://cdn2.scratch.mit.edu/get_image/project/184433752_100x80.png

However now if you do the same thing you get

https://uploads.scratch.mit.edu/projects/thumbnails/184433752.png

I created my signature some time before this change was made, so the images of the projects still show up, but now trying to put a project image in your signature using the second link will not work, because images from “uploads.scratch.mit.edu” are not accepted on Scratch (because it restricts to certain sites) and you have to use imageshack which will only work for a certain length of time before you have to pay to host images on it.

Why has it been changed?

Check out Life Raft Survival, my new advanced sandbox survival game with crafting, building, transportation, weather events, tropical storms, and more!

In the game you're stranded at sea after a mysterious crash and must survive in an unforgiving tropical island environment collecting resources and crafting, in an attempt to finally be rescued.

Maybe they wanted to move it.

Note that most of my posts on the forums are from years ago, probably mainly in 2016.


































(Unsolved!) How can you see all the shared projects of a deleted account? And some important context. And something else about it.
Please help me answer that question. (From May 2023)


(I know I may seem desperate, the person who owned the account whose projects I am trying to find had been doing some stuff that might need to get taken down)

You don't have to use imageshack, you can use cubeupload which is free and has no time limit. (and you might like this suggestion about it)

Also, the new one downloads the image if you try to open it. That should be changed.










If you can read this, my signature cubeupload has been eaten by an evil kumquat!




or you just used Inspect Element, you hacker

I don't know why it has been changed, but imageshack is not the only place you can upload photos, cubeupload works extremely well too.

Cubeupload is free, although I do understand that it is a hassle to upload images to it instead of just copying the thumbnail image address.
