Yeah, it looks like type ID 52 always gets redirected to a forum thread with the same ID. Any time it gives a 404 error, that's because there is no thread with that ID. If you have the URL for specific image, it handles it as an image and redirects correctly to the image. But if you have the gallery URL only, it redirects as if it's a thread.

Old type ID 52 should be mapping to new type ID 1310, and this should result in a redirect to http://www.giantbomb.com/profile/brackynews/images/?tag=Again:%20EoP.

Also, links of the style http://www.giantbomb.com/profile/brackynews/images/?tag=1310-398648 accompany images but do not work. They should be fixed or replaced by links that do work.
