Welp, Photobucket is not a fan of the account I use for hosting layout images right now, due to an excess of hotlinking. To get the account to function again is $400/year, and I'm definitely not going to pay that because that's 3-4 times as much as hosting your own website. It's going to take me some time to get things uploaded to a different server and change the links in the posts, but I will try to set something up.

Also, it's likely that I may not go back and update some of the layouts that are 5+ years old, because the coding for them is outdated at this point anyhow, and I doubt they are being used a lot. If there is a particular layout from pre-2012 that you're desperate to keep and need the images for, you can comment here with an email address and I will send the images as attachments. Comments are screened.

Thanks for your patience!

ETA: Looks like it's striking some icon sets too, so I'll have to handle that as well. If you need a particular set before I get to it, comment here and I'll bump it up the list.

ETA 2.0: For anyone desperate:
  • Check out an archive.org version of my directory, right click to view an image of your choice
  • Delete the archive.org part of the url (it will say http://i276.photobucket/etc) so that you're viewing the actual image on photobucket
  • Look for the link to the album name in the upper left, and click on it
  • You'll be able to see all of the icons when viewed on Photobucket's website.
Downloading is going to be a pain and slow going, and I understand this is a ridiculous hassle, but if someone's desperate for a face, there you have it! :)
