Thanks a lot, my problems however are ... If it is a new, unknown patch how to I differ a real from a faked patch since I cannot read Chinese and since I do not have a Weibo-account, whenever I click on one image to enlarge it I get an info I cannot access.
I think you can sign up for weibo using
with the appropriate cell number modifiers. For example, I signed up with an Australian phone number but it had to be modified to 00 61 4XX XXX XXX from my usual 04XX XXX XXX. The modified version means:
- 00 - China's international access code
- 61 - Australia's country code
- 4XX XXX XXX - my cell number without the usual '0' at the front
That's how I can make my mobile number accessible to weibo, which is based in China. I don't know how to modify a German cell number; I looked at the Wikipedia article on German cell numbers and it was very, very confusing. I'll leave it to you to modify your cell to be accessible by China.
There's also another way to access a weibo user's pictures without signing up. Simply
right-click on a picture and select "open image in new tab". Then modify the URL of the opened tab to display the largest image. To do this, change the URL parameter immediately after the xxxxx.cn to "large".
E.g.
wap720/005AYxLljw1f9l6b7rsxsj30zk0qoqfn.jpg
turns into...
large/005AYxLljw1f9l6b7rsxsj30zk0qoqfn.jpg
That would give you the URL of the largest version of the picture.
