Postimage, image service gone

Does anyone also have pictures posted through Postimage? Cause since a couple of days about 80% of my pictures have gone missing. I went to look for the cause, see if the server was down, and I found this :

There is no way I can guess what all of the pictures were I posted where. From what I understand through 'using some code' you should be able to restore them again? I really dont know how this works (I couldn get it to), and I could use a hand here. It's already bad enough that I have to go through everything I ever posted here on the server, on more than one account even, if I also have to 'guess' what was where... *shakes* Sort of makes me feel miserable as I think it's about more than a hundred pictures, all selected carefully at the time, some edited or handmade. I have several backupped, but not all eitherI emailed postimage support last night & got a response straight away. Sadly the original site is gone forever. All user images are now stored at the new web address so at least picss are accessible but users will have to replace from new address or use the code to make visible any images used previously on their websites, forums etc. PITA but at least it’s not a low act like photobucket pulled! What you get for using a free web hosting site I guess.
