Jumping the shark has to do when Fonzi jumped the shark in Happy Days. Meaning the show was going past it’s prime and done the EP just for ratings.
Photobucket is at least trying to make it right now. Starting @ $2.99/mo for 400 photos–which you can share. What a fiasco! Still…imgur.com is free, so….
“…they may be dealing with one or more ersatz Zodiacs–other psychotics eager to get into the act, or perhaps even other murderers eager to lay their crimes at the real Zodiac’s doorstep.“ L.A. Times, 1969
Here’s a way to find and replace missing images.
1. Pay Photobucket to restore the images. You only need to do this once. It won’t be an ongoing expense.
2. Download HTTrack. It’s free. https://www.httrack.com/ . I recommend using the default settings, with two exceptions. 1) On the Scan Rules tab, check all of the boxes to get all of the file types in order to get images. 2.) On the Links tab, select "Get non-HTML files related to a link, e.g. external .ZIP or pictures."
3. Use HTTrack to make an offline mirror/copy of the site on your hard drive. The mirror will look exactly like your site. You can click from one page to another just like you can with the website right now. (Be sure to check the offline mirror to make sure it works properly. I’ve had mirrors that weren’t right because I fiddled with the settings.)
4. When you notice an image is missing on a page, you can easily find it in the mirror on your hard drive because the page will have the same name in the mirror as it does on the site.
5. Upload the image from your hard drive to whereever. The best place would be to zodiackillersite.com so you’ll never have this problem again. Talk to your web hosting provider. Find out if they can give you FTP or SCP access for uploading files.
6. Edit the post and enter the new image URL.
If you want to find all of the missing images, run a link check on the site. I like Xenu Linksleuth. It’s free and fast. http://home.snafu.de/tilman/xenulink.html
Zodiac was a screwup. He left behind five breathing victims, two survivors, bootprints, possibly fingerprints and palmprints, tiretracks, eyewitnesses, and earwitnesses. If the APB had gone out for a WMA he would have been locked up in ’69.
