h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Traveller in Time always running for images
"However some seem to have disappeared, at first I thought it had to do with some server hickups. But as we (since yesterday afternoon) have 'Elton' running full speed again, there seem to be other problems.

I think that is it. "

Thanks very much indeed for this list, Traveller. Quite a few of them don't need any work doing to them - specifically, the ones where there's no 'small' blob available - as we don't think we'll need them in the future. If we do, we'll FTP them as and when we require them.

Some of them will require me to do a bit of extra investigating - namely Coventry City, Mystery of the Sweet Potato, Hares in Mythology and the Chastity Belt.

However, all of the following now have their graphics back:

First Aid
Henry II
Manchineel Tree
Bob Hope
Peter Ustinov
Spiderman
Charlie Chaplin
Dibley
Taxi Driver
Keeping Mice

Cheers for spotting them for us!

Crikey, three of those were mine Hmm, is there something you're not telling me...

"There have been changes in the way the Blobs work, they are stored in a different way, and during that process some Blobs fell off the table.

I specifically mentioned the small Blobs as they are used as fequent as the ones on the entry . Is there really no way to restore them ?

Their use remains generating broken links. Should I all conversations and entries they are mentioned ? "

Well no, the small graphics were only ever used for the Front Page rather than on the entries themselves - therefore, they shouldn't cause any broken links as they aren't actually featured anywhere on the Edited Guide pages themselves.

If you do spot any other broken links, please DO shout out though, Traveller!

"There are more like that: < A1342171 >

All smilies suffer from a broken link in their Sub-Anchor. But I have the idea I (and others) have reported that before."
