Title: HI-Res images from vendors never work
Post by: mrt on January 12, 2013, 03:31 pm
Hello,

On many vendors pages you see this click here for HI-Res images
of my product. I would love to see some hi-res images of their
products, but I've not seen any external links that actually works.

I always get: 404 Not Found

So vendors can you please begin to host your hi-res images
on a .onion image host that actually work?

Thank you! :)

That's probably because the image hoster was/is down or died or was raided and they are now after you.


Vendors never updated and are not aware/too lazy/have no alternative hosting.

Apparently, the .onion picture host got taken over by Dutch police, so now the links to pictures don't work any more.

So there is/was only 1 image host in onion world?!
No alternative? Hard to swallow ...

Mandy was sorta right, the sit that most vendors used was hacked & the hackers put up a page to scare people but no proof that it had anything to do with the Dutch Po-Po.
It took us a while to find another place to host our pics, & with a lot of vendors they have to start over with the process.  We are currently in the process of getting all of our pictures retaken & then will get them all posted, but there is a bit of work involved to get everything in order & finished up!

They never work, maybe.. 1/10 work and it sucks because it VALIDATES the vendor so much.
