New Pixiv image links?

Though I really dislike the new source scheme, it seems that there's nothing I could do but to use with the new ones *sigh*

I just plain gave up. Too much of a hassle to keep manually changing links.

Find Artist works with already-existing artists, but how will new artists be handled from this point on? The new links are generic with no identifiers unlike the old ones, and the recommended format for Pixiv artists is "nickname_(account_name)" which can't be done now.

issue #2266 is discussing normalizing the new-style URLs in artist pages. And the account name is still doable, just not as conveniently: you still have the profile image and the Feed/stacc link.

The former gave me trouble when a particular artist I looked at doesn't have a profile pic and uses the common no_profile.png image. The latter I didn't know about, thanks for the help.

I keep getting 403 errors trying to direct link to manga images, like
http://i1.pixiv.net/c/1200x1200/img-master/img/2014/10/13/03/08/47/46521066_p1_master1200.jpg
-> http://i1.pixiv.net/img-original/img/2014/10/13/03/08/47/46521066_p1.jpg

but this one works
http://i2.pixiv.net/c/1200x1200/img-master/img/2014/10/13/06/50/08/46522211_p0_master1200.jpg
-> http://i2.pixiv.net/img-original/img/2014/10/13/06/50/08/46522211_p0.jpg

I can't tell if this is just on my side though, since everyone who uploads manga images isn't having this problem

So that happens every time you try to upload that first image? Or only randomly sometimes? Since it worked for me when I uploaded it to my server.

Seems like it's randomly for me, since some work and some don't

Pixiv now seems to be hosting certain images on i3.pixiv.net instead of i1 or i2. This causes the "this post was probably already uploaded" dupe check to fail when a post that was previously uploaded from i1 or i2 is now hosted on i3.pixiv.net. I spotted this on pixiv #46403038 / post #1813127; it was originally uploaded from i1 but now it's hosted on i3.

Sorry for necrobumping this topic, but I discovered that Pixiv is now (has been?) doing the same CSS shenanigans for medium-sized images that they were doing with thumbnails (talked about earlier in this thread on page 3).

As a reminder, the fix for thumbnails was...

._layout-thumbnail:after {display: none !important;}

The fix I've found for medium-sized images is...

._work:before {display: none !important;}

Or you could just combine them both into one entry...

._layout-thumbnail:after, ._work:before {
    display: none !important;
}
