Webserver seems down

[graycat27]

I can not access to your webserver and can not get the generated image

Whois says Registration Expiration Date: 2024-08-05 but it is a year later...

I use gh link atm

[joachimth]

I can't access the site either. The error is: Can't establish a Secure connection to the site.

smth like https://raw.githubusercontent.com/BraveUX/for-the-badge/master/src/images/badges/it-works-why.svg

I get "forthebadge.com unexpectedly closed the connection." and if i access http://ForTheBadge.com it redirects me to https://domain-registrar.storage.googleapis.com/expired.html?forthebadge.com Anyone know what's happening?

Workaround is to replace image links with the GitHub image links from this repo. The badge images are here: https://github.com/BraveUX/for-the-badge/tree/master/src/images/badges

For example: [![forthebadge](https://forthebadge.com/images/badges/uses-badges.svg)](https://forthebadge.com) Should become: [[![forthebadge](https://github.com/BraveUX/for-the-badge/blob/master/src/images/badges/uses-badges.svg)](https://whateveryouwant.example)

Such as in this commit (final link will be what opens when someone clicks on the badge, so it can be whatever you want): https://github.com/JonathanBerkeley/Inertia/commit/cd4eb7247af7ccfa08d8512cac869724a37bd9ee

It seems the domain has now expired as well, or well that's what the server displays if you use a HTTP connection instead of HTTPS

not sure why that's happening if whois says the expiration is next year..

I've created a mirror of the site on https://forthebadge.shorty.systems/ for anyone who wants to use it

FIXED

https://forthebadge.com/ : the origin web server looks UP now!
So that, the generated tags came back online!

[Tarang74]

Yes! Looks like everything is back to normal again!

pretty sure the quick and easy way to copy paste the code to insert the badge is gone, now replaced with a share button that brings up microsoft's ugly sharing panel, on which one wrong click would end up emailing a "fuck it ship it" badge to my professor ngl i miss that quick copy code

Hey!

This is definitely a bug and we're working on fixing this asap. Some browsers have the built in Web Share API on PC which we just noticed. The intention was just to display this on mobile only, the quick copy buttons still exist and are meant to show up when the Web Share API is unavailable (ie on any device that's not mobile) but this was not the case.

Sorry about that! We will notify you once this is resolved, hopefully this evening!

should i open a new issue for it?

and while we're at it, svg badges please. png doesn't do the trick. and markdown code copy as well

@dinhanhx made a nice copy of the old site here https://forthebadge.shorty.systems/

We have all three already, they were never removed - We are only seeing the web share bug on some browsers not all, the intended actions are copy PNG, copy SVG and copy markdown!

We are going to place more guardrails on the share button to ensure we are only seeing this in mobile environments, else the default buttons will appear!

Ill get an issue created for you.

This is resolved! See https://github.com/forthebadge/for-the-badge/issues/264

Just updating this thread, we realized that the icons we displayed for copying a hosted badge as a PNG & SVG were not very clear.

We updated our display to show clear icons representing the action.

Thanks for the feedback!
