Have just given Postimage a go. Much easier to use than Photobucket.

[GO FURTHER]

Photobucket must be having a hard time getting customers to pay the US$399 for the 500 Plus plan for 3rd party hosting as predicted....

They are now starting to discount the plan....

If you go to their site, this is their latest offer;

Want Unlimited 3rd Party Hosting?
The Plus 500 Account has you covered!
Get 10% off today
USE CODE: summerfun


Still not enough of an incentive to make people take it up IMO.

Well PostImage have now changed their web address from .org to .cc

Now all my image links have disappeared on the forum. The images still exist, but now at the .cc address.

All I have been able to find out is I am supposed to "update codes embedded in your websites". How do I do this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

FFS, not again!
You're right, all my linked PostImage.org photos have disappeared from my project thread :( :( :(
And I've only just got over the photobucket BS from earlier.
Any advice from anyone greatly appreciated.

If I'd given Photocrapit 500 of my hard earned I'd be asking them some questions.

UPDATE

Given the limitations in our forum software to narrow down editing capability, we are calling for volunteers who are able to assist with editing and fixing links for other members (and themselves) for a period of time.

If you are interested, send me a PM and I will add your name to a list that members can use. Please also let me know which forum areas (Show'n'Shine / Builds etc.) you wish to assist in.

Regards
Russ

[russellw]

A big thanks to those who have volunteered so far.

The list below contains the user namers of those who have access in the forums listed against their names to edit posts and update image links.

Bulk edits for those images where the image name has not changed and it is just a new URL in front of the original image name can be addressed to me and I will action them.

For example: if your image URL is currently:

photobucket.com/fred/mycar01.jpg

and it is now something like:

fordforums.com/gallery/50/mycar01.jpg OR
newhosting.com/fred25/mycar01.jpg

.. then these can van be resolved using the bulk function.

All other examples that change the name of the image (the piece after the last '/') will require manual editing by one of our volunteers.



Regards
Russ

[BFIIGhiaZF6]

Thanks very much Russel, how long do we have the editing rights for?

At least until the end of August and we'll reassess the situation then.
Anyone who requires a bulk upload of their images to the AFF Gallery can contact me and I will arrange for them to be done

Regards
Russ

all my build threads are in ozecruisers project section so even if i upload the images somewhere cant edit the thread so its pointless, will just leave them to die

Cheery soul. I did sayu earlier that if other areas were required then we could add them to the list of areas those with editing permission could access. Up to you.

Regards
Russ

PS: The list above has been updated.

PM sent Russ.

Well I closed my PB account over a month ago as mention before let the images RIP

[DJM83]

I tried to dl all my pictures but it won't let me. I may let all mine go aswell I think

[tweeked]

What about the performance build section Russ? Mine are all still viewable at the moment, probably just haven't reached me with the shotgun and blanket yet.

All images seem to be coming through okay now.

I cant thank "swanny" enough for fixing the links to my photos after photobucket decided to charge for sharing my photos.

I thought 7 years of photos was lost. Thanks to AFF admin and members for providing the information to save my thread. Below is what i did.

I download each photo, individually from my Photobucket account.
I tried to download the album but it wouldn't work.
I downloaded 600 photos individually to a folder on my computer.
It took me about 30 minutes.
I then created an account with "imgur" (basically another version of photobucket)
Uploaded my entire folder to imgur in 1 go.
It took a while to upload but i just let my computer do its thing.
When all the photos were uploaded i sent PM to "Russell".
He put me onto "swanny" who over 1 week fixed all the links to my photos and saved my thread.

Thanks again guys, much appreciated

p.s just need to work out how to upload photo to "imgur" using my phone

[Lotte]

it appears that PB have removed the option to download an entire album at once, unless there's a hidden setting somewhere I don't have checked.

Does anybody know? I really can't be bothered downloading individually the 1000's of gifs I have on there PLUS all the photos

Halp, I really don't wanna have to do it one by one. I may legit cry and require large sums of chocolate to cope.

Edit to test flickr vs imgur, flickr it is

Yes I've just set up an IMGur account because Photobucket was giving me too much grief. As I've backed up all my photos to a HDD I've started deleting my albums on photobucket, I deleted all new albums but it won't let me delete the older albums I have on site. With a little effort I've pretty well worked out how the system on IMGur works and should be okay now.

Is it possible to allow us to edit our posts to update our photo links?
