Weblink thumbnails broken Posted: Sun Jan 13, 2008 3:27 pm

I noticed that your Weblink thumbnails are broken! This is because MSN is no longer serving these thumbnails up. Here is a code correction to fix this:

Your current code:

Code:

http://msnsearch.srv.girafa.com/srv/i?s=MSNSEARCH&r=

Search and replace with:

Code:

http://open.thumbshots.org/image.pxf?url=

Thumbshots is also much faster since it is direct instead of a provider to MSN. I hope you find this helpful!

I'm really glad to be of some help as a thank you for all the cool things and ideas your website has given me! Some thumbs don't generate because they timeout on certain sites especially sites with embedded music or video or very large graphics. The Weblinks will load faster but some sites will not be represented. Or the website that the link refers to is no longer there.

Weblink thumbnails broken Posted: Sun Jan 13, 2008 4:52 pm

I noticed the thumbs weren't working in my weblinks so I went on the hunt for a replacement. I couldn't think of anything but thumbshots and one other so experimented until I got it to work. It has been working for me since before Christmas. The author of the original thumbnail hack for the weblinks is using it too but he hasn't updated the script info.

I also meant to say earlier that some thumbnails will pop in on the page if there is a gap for them it means that thumbshots is still producing the thumbnail. I think it gets faster as time goes by because they index sites that they produce thumbs for. I hope that helps!
