Old style links pre-2010 are broken

mym0ry

I have thousands of links in the old Smugmug format:

A few years ago, when Smugmug changed the format to:

https://photos.smugmug.com/Motorcycles/Road-Trips/Europe-baby/i-WjTsXhG/0/3cf61387/L/DSCN3008-L.jpg (same picture as above)

the old links still worked. However, I just noticed that they do not anymore and return a 404 not found.

There's no way I can track down all the photos and change the URLs individually. Is there a way to fix this?

I have checked the permissions on the folders, the visibility is set to "Public (anyone)"

We expect to have a fix for the old URL's in the next day or two - the intent is for them to continue to work for now.

If you haven't already migrated to the new style URL's, I'd make sure any new photos you embed use the new format.

When I share a photo the link shown gives the viewer no hint of my website.
Looks like Smugmug takes all the credit for the photo.

Even if I change it to my site it is redirected to the Smugmug site link?

We have the same issue. Thousands of images that are no longer loading. I hope this is fixed faster than a few days.....

Do we have any ETA for when this might be fixed? We are also down.

Aaron - do you have any updates on this issue? We are still completely down.

In my blog my links start working May 6, 2013, all before that do not.

Our engineering team had hopped on it immediately earlier in the week and the fix is currently going through the paces with our QA team. Once we've given it the 👍it'll go live ASAP.

Great, thanks. Seems to be only the photo links, old page links work fine.

Within the past hour the fix for this was pushed live.

Checking a few of Allen's blog links, all the images are loading. 👍

Thanks guys, works on my end as well.

Allen

Looking good, thanks.

Thanks everyone. We have started to move toward reprogramming our sites to use the new share URLs. Is this fix temporary? Or do you plan to support this going forward?
