Pixiv temps broken... site change or ? SOLVED

Greetings

I migrated to a new system, and carried over my projects (not the files). Fired EPF up and its not working, at least for me, on my Pixiv projects.

It just seems to skim the first page (if that) and doesn't deep dive like it use to.

For example, this starting address should resolve to over 100 images
https://www.pixiv.net/en/users/29829151

But EPF is stopping at 1.

I am using the most recent template... but could there have been a change?

Any help would be appreciated.

Hmm. I can see only one artwork of this author:

Where can I see the rest 99 of them? Do you need a working account on pixiv to see them?

Not sure if you need to have an account to see them ( just checked, you do have to log in).

But I am showing 5 pages, with 36 links (and some of those are to multiple images) per page.

As I said earlier, I carried over the project files (not the image files) from my last computer, and a Pixiv project that might have had 705 images before, now when I run it only shows 3 or 4 if that. It is like there may have been a change to the site... which is throwing off EPF.

OK, then I'll need a working account to check it out. Without the account - everything works just fine. Send me login information to support@exisoftware.com.

Yes, you are required to log into the website to see this authors artworks. And you can do it in the built-in browser. When you start a project and a built-in browser opens and says that "pixiv is not compatible with your browser" - at the bottom of this page there is almost invisible link saying "I understand and wish to proceed in this browser". After you click it you can successfully log in and then download all the content.

If you are already logged in in the built-in browser - just click "Continue download" button.

So the template still works as it should. One very important thing though: currently Extreme Picture Finder uses Internet Explorer as a built-in browser so you must have IE 11 installed on your PC.

Thanks

It is working now... I had IE 11 and the rest, as EPF was working great on every site BUT pixiv.
I followed your lead and hit the button for "proceed in this browser", and all is once again right in the world.... except the Covid-19 stuff of course.
