I don't want my uploads to be replaced anymore

I have already explicitly told you how to get them on your last thread.
All of your recent posts got replaced because you posted the sample image instead of the full image.

If these instructions are not clear, I can help explain further.

How to Get Images from Pixiv
  • To get the best version:
    • With single images, click on it to open it in a viewer.
    • With sets, clicking images opens "manga mode" in a new tab. There are two different layouts for manga mode: one for normal images (which shows one image at a time) and one for comics (which separates pages into two at a time in a right-to-left format), though older comics use the former as the latter is a more recent addition. To get the best version:
      • For normal images, click the expand icon on the top left corner of the image, NOT the icon on the top right! This opens the full version in a new tab viewer.
      • For comics, click the expand icon located to the left of the page navigators. This loads the full image on the page and will automatically load the remaining ones in the same format as well.
    • Full image URLs should contain /img-original/, all previews have /img-master/ instead. For older uploads, see here for examples.
  • Ugoiras are Pixiv's way of serving animations. They are stored as individual JPEG files and shown on an HTML5 canvas with set delays. Because of this, content cannot be directly downloaded and needs to be converted into either a WebM (preferred) or GIF. See the tools section on the main howto:sites and sources page. (JavaScript command: javascript:window.location=pixiv.context.ugokuIllustFullscreenData.src; does not work consistently anymore)
