Hotlinking and other unusual usage are currently being restricted due to the absurd levels of abuse the site is suffering.

Is it for the same reason the Image Search Options extension is useless with pics of the Channel now? It was very useful to quickly find Pixiv sources for images were the uploaders forgot or didn’t care to insert them (especially right now, with lots of them being currently posted with no care for source and even rating).

Of course, one can save the images on disk and then upload them on Saucenao but it becomes much more time-consuming and ultimately inconvenient. A pity but I can understand the reasons.

I just created a new account and it works, while there is no way to access the old one. To be precise, I could access the Channel again after I cleaned up all cookies, which resulted in logging out from the Channel. The problem must lie in my old account – I also tried a password reset but no effect, when I enter my login data, I invariably get the error message. I still not want to give up on it yet because I’d like to recover my blacklist if possible, it’s quite long and I’ve got only a part of it saved on a personal text file, and by Murphy’s Law, all this happened just as I wanted to go an copy it.

New to the forums but not to the site. Just wanted to ask if everyone is currently experiencing problems with the Channel or me only (Idol works btw). A blank page with just the text “A technical problem has prevented the page from loading” started appearing now and then while browsing it in the previous hours, and now I cannot access it at all.
