Stencil Archive News
Short-term fix equals new images to upload
As I have recently mentioned, the demise of Adobe Flash had broken our ability to upload images to our outdated Archives photo album setup.
While our sysadmin furiously works on creating a new, 2021-quality overhaul of the whole Archive...
...we have GOOD NEWS!
A temporary fix got installed to replace the broken Flash part, and a few early attempts to upload to the current gallery folders proved successful.
It is time once again to get some new images up on the site.
We are quite behind and have a goodly-sized stack to get through (not to mention a back up of other sources to pull from).
Can't wait to share our backup images, which go back to late June 2021.
Stencils in Media While We Remodel the Archives
You may have noticed that the Stencil Archive photo albums have not been updated in a while. This doesn't mean that we haven't been collecting images from around the world. This just means that the Archives are the older part of the website, and uploading images was based on Adobe Flash. Now that Flash is completely obsolete, our Archives are in the slow, very slow, process of being redesigned. They still work for viewers like you, but uploading new images is offline at the moment.
Finding an image on a movie, show, or in a comic, would go into the "Stencils in Media" Archive. Since our uploading capability is down, here is a fun one from today by Wayno and Piraro, the sharp creators of the Bizarro daily strip. As soon as we get the Archives going again, it'll be there too.

Stencil Archive - New! Improved!
An Enhanced Summer Diversion
Since 2002, Stencil Archive has held down a well-painted corner of the World Wide Web. Our last upgrade was back in 2014, so welcome to today's newest upgrades!
The site may look a little different, but all the content is still a few clicks away. And, like the 2014 revision, Stencil Archive is responsive to all the devices that you surf the net with. As always, this is a no-profit project, with no advertising and no monetizing of your art, photographs, and data.
A few small tweaks may happen in the coming days, and then expect an…
