Okay so, I'm aware that at least a few icons are down again, currently! (At least most of the Buzz Lightyear of Star Command ones and the Babylon 5 ones, and presumably others too, though I haven't done an extensive search.) I dunno if that's just Nickpic having a little hiccup, or if I'm gonna need to replace them; so I'm gonna give it a few days and see if they come back. If not, I'll start a search for any that are down and provide new links to anything that's still missing.
Thanks for your patience!

OKAY, I've found what the problem is! I thought it was odd, because the icons were all working on Nickpic but the links were broken here; but Nickpic's changed the coding slightly so the old URLs don't work. I can't find a way to change everything automatically, so I'm going around doing it all manually which... is gonna take a while!
If you need one of the not-working gifs urgently, what you need to do is:
Where in the url you have either
k.nickpic.host
cdnw.nickpic.host
cdn.nickpic.host/images
You need to replace it with
img.nickpic.host
Then the link ought to work again ^^

...WELL, okay, they all seem to be working again now without me making any further updates. So...
Was that, then, a big waste of time last night, spending so long updating so many of the links? Or did I ought to keep on going and changing them anyway, just in case it happens again?
I'm kinda thinking the latter, honestly... in any case, if any icons of mine that you're using stop working again, I recommend changing the code you're using as detailed in the post above. I probably will still aim to get all the rest of the icons on the site changed to the img. format, too, just to make sure it doesn't become an issue in the future; it's just not quite such an urgent priority, now, as it was last night!

And all links updated! Everything should be good to go, and not affected now if anything like that happens again! ^^
...also found and fixed, like, five other icons that had spontaneously broken and not even changing over the links could fix. So that was useful, I guess!
