Re: if you use photobucket for image hosting you MUST READ THIS
Yep, I concede defeat. I spent a bunch of time today uploading all my C10 pics to a couple albums in my profile, and will rebuild my build thread.

Re: if you use photobucket for image hosting you MUST READ THIS
Were you able to upload more than 100 pics? I did this already and couldn't get past 100 pics to upload to albums (60 in my 1st and 40 in my 2nd). I can create a 3rd album but it won't let me upload pics to it.

Also found out that only members can see the pics that I hosted from my forum album. I sent the thread to a friend that has no reason to be on this forum, and none of the pics showed up. That's maybe half a notch better than all the PB links being killed.

Re: if you use photobucket for image hosting you MUST READ THIS
I have a 6 year old thread with around 1500 pics that got hit, so I'm feeling this same as the rest of yall. I've reaquired all my old pics and am working on rehosting, but actually having the chance to fix all my old stuff would be nice...even though it will take me a huge time commit to do it.

Re: if you use photobucket for image hosting you MUST READ THIS
hewittca, correct, I created the albums under my user CP. I didn't realize the gallery was really a separate thing. Man, I've already put a ton of time into this mess so far, but I guess I may as well move everything over there and then update my new thread...
Thanks for the tip. Edit: Trial from Amazon pictures. I'm a prime subscriber, but I've never paid attention to the photos feature: Edit #2: Try this again: Edit #3: Photo properties from google photos Also from google pictures:

Re: if you use photobucket for image hosting you MUST READ THIS
one thing i been liking about imgur is you can post different sizes of the photo so if you just want to post a very small picture you can
or a medium picture of annoy everyone with having to scroll side to side to see the whole picture and a few sizes in between |

Re: if you use photobucket for image hosting you MUST READ THIS
I wonder if this is actionable? If it's not extortion it should be. It would be one thing if the new fees were reasonable.

Re: if you use photobucket for image hosting you MUST READ THIS
Well PB got me too. All my thread pics are dead and I can't edit the posts. I have my pics though. That's a pretty shady way to run a business. If your main self promotion is a free image hosting and storage site I think you ought to honor the plan that those customers signed up for. Oh well the world goes on.

Re: if you use photobucket for image hosting you MUST READ THIS
I noticed a few people saying they're using thumb/usb flash drives or external hard drives for longer term storage of their media. Be advised that both of these are subject to data decay. USB Flash drives have an electrical charge trapped in the chip to store your data and that charge degrades over time. The magnetic code on an external hard drive is subject to the same decay. Be sure to plug either into your computer every 2-3 months to refresh the electrical charge on flash drives and let hard drives do their thing to refresh the magnetic code on the disk. Personally I'd add a cloud based solution for redundancy, photobucket was mine but I've downloaded all my pics and deleted my account out of spite so I'm currently looking into options.

I bought some stuff awhile back off of a forum, pictures looked ok, decent driver quality parts. Got the parts but didn't open the box. I wasn't ready to use them. Recently opened the box. A total box of garbage, did I get scammed? Looked at the pictures online again, really closely this time. Little tell tale signs, yep they were the parts. Just looked craptastic in real life.

I'm currently able to edit my old posts, but we haven't been given authority to [Manage Attachments]. If the admin will give us authority, we can make some repairs.

Re: if you use photobucket for image hosting you MUST READ THIS
Buffydores..if you go to edit a post click on "go advanced" at the bottom of the block and it should let you ad pics to a older post..but I don't know how far back it'll work..

Okay guys, here's an easy (well, considering the situation) way to upload your photos to fix your posts on this forum. It won't help other forums so much, but it will work here, if you're a paying member. If you pay for the $25/yr membership, you get an unlimited amount of photo hosting on this site. You can upload your photos (only 2 at a time) to an album you create that will allow you to post thumbnail size, medium size and full size photos. Check it out... scroll to the top of the page, just under the 67-72chevytrucks.com banner is a link called "gallery" or just click here Once you've made it there, you can create your own album by clicking on "my albums" shown in this pic. Then click on Create new album Once you've created your album, you can upload your pics, there's a link to do that at the far right side on the same line as "Home * My Photos * My Albums * My Favorites * Profile" shown above. After your photos have been uploaded, you can go back and edit your original post to update the text for the image link and change it to the new photo in your albums. Good luck!

Re: if you use photobucket for image hosting you MUST READ THIS
I'm afraid it won't. After 10080 minutes (1 week), we're currently out of luck. That's what I'm trying to get the administrators to budge on so we can fix things.

Edit: I mean to say that the gallery may be the best option to replace the dead pics. Not necessarily the best option for future uploads. It also keeps this thing from happening again if another photo hosting site people may use decides to pull the same stunt as Photobucket.

Re: if you use photobucket for image hosting you MUST READ THIS
I think it's easier just to create new threads in a different forum that allows higher-res photos than to modify old posts. Maybe this forum's facebook page would be a good alternative.

Re: if you use photobucket for image hosting you MUST READ THIS
I pay $25 yearly.
Inexpensive and you get to sell stuff once in awhile. Made my money back time and again. I also keep a file going on my build (Steiner) on FB. Can't wait for them to do what PB did. |

Re: if you use photobucket for image hosting you MUST READ THIS
There are probably 100 different ways to do it. I was only giving a suggestion for those that want to KEEP the old thread instead of dumping it for a new one. The easiest thing to do would be just forget about all of the old posts and move on, but that's what so many are complaining about now.

Re: if you use photobucket for image hosting you MUST READ THIS
The whole thing is very disappointing.. So many people like myself put a lot of time and effort in build threads to share with everyone and in one motion, gone...
I even tried downloading my libraries from P-Bucket and that doesn't work.. I have the pics, just dont want to start over again. Im just gonna sit back and watch other builds for a while..

Re: if you use photobucket for image hosting you MUST READ THIS
The problem I have with this is the PB pictures I posted were almost all done years ago. I'm talking 7-13 years ago. I stopped using PB due to poor performance and just consider it a storage place...except videos which I can't show through attached files. So, what was lost? I have no idea. I can't remember what threads I posted pictures in or where. Probably thousands of pictures. They will show up when someone is searching. Years of archive tainted.
