Retrieving Pictures from HTML Messes

[Lady Warlock]

I am preparing to set out on the long journey of rewriting lore pages that had complex code within them. Due to the update, these threads are now a mess of HTML code. I don't know the first thing about HTML code. 


These threads had pictures in them. These are pictures that I do not know how to locate again and they were put into the posts using the image urls. 


Is there any way to retrieve these URLs from within the mess of HTML code? Surely it must be stored somewhere, but I am unable to locate them within all the coding because I don't know what half the coding means and I don't see any obvious URLs. 


I was told no content would be lost in the update. The picture should be somewhere within the post then, if I understand everything correctly. I just don't know how to pluck it out so I can find the actual picture again. 


I was told not to wait on "The Big Code Update" because apparently it is highly probable that that could take months.

I'm not sure if this will help much, but if you view the source of the page (I only know this works in Chrome, I am not sure about other browsers) and search for the ending of an image url via CTRL+F (typically the end of an image url is .png , .jpg , ect...) you can try and check each one manually? 


It'd be a lot of work and tedious and such, but hopefully it'll help! ><;;

All image links should send with something like .png or .jpg and so forth.

I'm no code expert, but it looks to me like it took the image url and put a bunch of code right in the middle of it. I searched for .jpg and never once did I find it at the end of the line and neither does it actually get me to the picture when I plug it into a search. 


I'm still not able to retrieve my images and I'd really like to fix these pages.

HTML image code is as follows:


<img src ="IMAGE URL"></IMG>


You can try searching for the opening or closing tag of the code.

This is what I get when I search for that. This is not an image url... 


<img src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/imageproxy/imageproxy.php?img=https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/b9/9f/42/b99f4270fbfb5fb851dd32de24ab79da.jpg&key=d8f5072fb713b5ddfbfbc31d176d46ed9601df6f33f6977fb5683666a4bedbeb" class="ipsImage" alt="b99f4270fbfb5fb851dd32de24ab79da.jpg" />  


I don't even know what that is.
