Not just you and not just now, the image hoster Tinypic shut down on September 9th, 2019. Unfortunately, several years' worth of images uploaded before our own service became mandatory are now gone.

Must have been a temporary glitch on your system.

Edit: the problem seems to have been caused by new settings in McAfee, fixed now.

Why are horror novels being put into the fantasy/sci fi catagory?

Thanks :)

There's no hard and fast rule, I'm afraid. Basically, when the moderators notice the consistency, quality of files (and hosts) and a positive attitude by a fulfiller, they'll propose the name as a candidate for promotion. Then all the mods will vote on the potential candidates, just like we do for the Major Ebook Releasers.

Hello, hope I'm in the right section and this hasn't been already asked a million times. After I bumped my request two times and the topic disappears from the request section unfulfilled, am I allowed to create a new topic for the same request? And how long should I wait? I don't want to spam :wink:
Thank you!

There is no reason for you not to request again once the topic has been deleted by the system, there can be no spam if the original request is gone. No need to wait at all, go ahead and post and better luck this time!

@merry60

Months ago, I posted a few files of mine with a header on one (1) page only. I got a message from you about some anon users apparently being annoyed by it and you yourself told me that "it is just as spamming as any other banner from other sites".
Now, I assume no one is complaining to you about PDFs like this one for example viewtopic.php?f=123&t=3550616 with has both a header and a footer (the latter a web link, which is a no-no AFAIK)
Am I seeing some double standards here?

Protect your eyes: read True PDFs only.

Dear marooned2, if I rephrase your question like this:

"@merry60, are you aware that there is a PDF uploaded with both a header and a footer (the latter a web link, which is a no-no at Mobilism AFAIK)?"

Then my answer would be no, I was not aware because I haven't received any complaints and obviously, I don't download everything that gets posted here.

As it happens, your very public and rather confrontational report had an echo and a moderator deleted the post immediately, as we always do when we receive a report (that's what the report button is for, actually). You are free to post the magazine now, if that's what you were after. Just remember: your name on the header is still a no-no. Thanks for the report.

Hi,
I hope you can help me with my question, all the links were dead on an ebook I was looking at and I PM'd the OP and didn't hear back. I posted a request for assistance on the "Request New Links" topic and have not heard back. Did I post my request in the proper place? If not, can you tell me where I should post It? Thank you for your help. :)

The "New Link Requests" topic is just informative, an extract from the actual Rules. It was intended to dissuade users from posting in release topics requesting new links, that's why it says 'please read': http://prntscr.com/rpyfok

What the Rules actually say is that if you don't get a reply from the OP (of a topic), you can post in that topic, the one that you are trying to download from, or to contact a moderator.

Please send me the link to the release topic that you are having a problem with, I'll take care of it.
