Title: Photobucket/ ImageShack.......
Post by: Stilldrillin on January 11, 2013, 12:46:00 PM
Pbucket, have once again put me on their strange, convoluted system.  :scratch:

I've messed about, again. And got totally smockravelled, again.  :bang:

I've opted for the old system, again.

Seems, I can manage very nicely, using ImageShack.......

As ImageShack seems simple enough, even for me......  :thumbup:

Is there any reason, that I shouldn't abandon Pbucket, after all these years?

Well David, I'm easy if it works then use it :-)

Photobuckets newest evolution (debatable as to it being a good one?) was floored when I tried it. I turned it back to the old version in order to add my latest pic's.

Now. Got to ask..... What the heck is that then?  :)

Hi Roy.
Some years ago, while using Linux. Pbucket lost some pics, plus all my vids........  :bang:

Since reverting to Windoze, and YouTube........ Pbucket has been stable, most of the time.

All I want, is a reliable, simple, storage system for my forum pics. NOTHING else.......

Ralph, Rob.

That's just a random pic, I've uploaded.........

I was given that, around 1960..... "Ere yer are lad. A rev counter for yer motorbike"........

It stayed with me until last year, when I auctioned it for Rainbows......   http://modelsteam.myfreeforum.org/about50976.html     



Here's another random pic. Is it a better size....... Or, a bit too big?

The only reason that I can think of is that if you stop using Pbucket then after a while you will lose all the photos that you have inserted in the various posts. I believe this happens if there is no activity for a certain period of time. I believe Rob Wilson may know more about that. Other than that overall all the photo hosting sites will have some good points and some bad points.

I would like to see the members get together and put together a site for downloading photos to that would manage the photos even after a member quits or passes on to the next world. All those red x's leave a post kind of hard to read and useless. There was a good example on MadModder this week of that happening but with luck Rob saved the day (thanks Rob) and brought the thread back to life again.

Comments??

Cheers  :beer:

Hi Don.
Yes, the inactivity timescale........ I've got a lot of pics, out there.

Would it be possible to make a forum run, system? (That I can understand).

My F*%k up with photobucket was due to exceeding bandwidth so they locked the account /WANTED CASH :bang: at the time I was posting on at least five forums .

The save on Bernd post was easy sort of , luckily  I had printed the post to PDF as you do for things that interest one . When I reactivated the post I was not intending to redo the photos ,but as there was interest I thought I would give it ago ,  I found I could select the photos in the PDF , then convert them to JPEG and upload them,edit post  and bobs ya uncle post fixed .
