Stat Banner Link

[+Team Four Paw]

I noticed the url http://www.geocaching.com/stats/img.aspx no longer works. Generates an error rather than a 404 so I'm not sure if this was on purpose. Either way there are a ton of people now with broken signatures all over the place.

 

http://img.geocaching.com/stats/img.aspx works just fine though.

yup - here too

My link had disappeared from another forum and I only noticed thanks to this link. Changing from www to img worked and it's back up and running

 

I also noticed that if you follow the link from the Account page the code it's using to generate the image uses img and not www so it's obviously a change implemented by Groundspeak but not publicised

The image stat banner has also been moved to img.geocaching.com but still works at the new address.

Correct me if I'm wrong but that says that the old way will still work.

 

That post was made April 12th and my stat banner was working at least up until last week.

I understod announcement so that old way will work now, but perhaps not in a future so be prepared.

Anyway "problem" seems to be solved so...
