Uploading mood themes through admin console

[nimueth]

I'm really not sure if this is the right place to ask, because it's less to do with Dreamwidth specifically, and more about third party hosting. But I really don't know where else to look for help (google came up with zip), and who knows, maybe others have wondered this as well.

One of my favourite things about journal sites like DW are custom mood themes. I used Photobucket as hosting, but unfortunately ever since they revoked sharing privileges from free users, I was forced to look for alternatives. The problem is this: unlike Photobucket, they all generate random links. Even the ones that leave the original file name in the link will include random numerals, which means that using the admin console codes to quickly replace the hosting in the links is no longer possible.

I guess my question is, does anyone know of a workaround? I want to avoid doing it manually, if I can.

Sorry this is a late reply, but I had the same problem with a custom banner I made for my DW journal, and I didn't find a workaround. In the end I resorted to putting my picture on a domain my friend has, which isn't a good solution and doesn't help others with this problem. Have you found a solution in the meantime?

Sadly, no. I set up the mood themes (I have two) manually, which wasn't a very nice experience, heh. I hope I'm not going to have to redo it for a very long time!
