   You have said that old postings on MOCpages that use Brickshelf for image hosting will automatically have the images copied to MOCpages and the pages updated to use your hosting. Two questions about this:

1. Is this still true, now that Kevin has given a reprieve for Brickshelf?

Yes. There are about 130,000 images that were linked to Brickshelf from all the pages on MOCpages. I’ve now copied all 130,000 of them over to MOCpages and they’ll be linked to your pages very soon.

This applies to all the images that were linked via the “main photo” or if you pointed your page to a brickshelf gallery, (and/or adding captions to those photos). If, however, you used HTML in your pages to embed pictures with <img> tags you’ll have to find those images and save them manually. I’d actually like to parse through, find them all, and save them also -- but given the initial 2-week deadline I was afraid there wouldn’t be enough time.


   2. What happens if someone posts a NEW entry on MOCpages that references Brickshelf? Will it copy the images in that case as well?

No, the copying process was a one-time thing. I’d reccomend you use MOCpages’ new image uploader going fowards. You can always manually link to images (with HTML <img> tags) to Brickshelf (or Photobucket, or flickr, or wherever else) but you do so at your own risk. :)
