Photobucket linking goes away, at least for me

This is my quick solution;

Have the Photobucket Android app upload pic as normal.
Dowload to my computer.
Then upload to happygunner's link.

Worked for my add. Fotay S&W brass for sale. Have at it...

I just up loaded some pics a bit ago. I am only using 9% of my free account. I had to turn adblocker on so I could navigate the stupid site. Way to many popups. And even with he blocker the site creeps at times really bad. Especially that last year or so.

It would suck to loose it. Time to look at other options.

I'm wondering if one would go into PB and delete a bunch of stuff whether it would go back to normal?

I tried deleting some and it didn't work.

Maybe it has something to do with how many times the picture is accessed.
BOR has hotlinks to his signature line. That's gotta mean those links are accessed a lot.
As opposed to someone that post a pic of something that gets looked at, then people move on.

This.

It's not about storage space, it's bandwidth.

This is getting pretty involved.
Very weak Google-Fu with this one.

tinypic.com have used it for years.....it is free and easy to use.....

Been thinking of this or Imgure. Still have a butt load of pics to move.

Why the extra steps? Why not upload straight from your phone?

It isn't as hard as it may seem. Even an ancient mouse like you could do it.

Well thank you sir.....

I am sure once figured out it will be easy enough but it is in the figuring that irritates me.

I've been happy with Imgur. The phone app doesn't feel as polished as it (could be could just be he user as well though), by the website has been easy to use for me.

If you ever wander up to NWI I could show you pretty quickly. Plus I remember something about grilling burgers and shooting

Takes about 10 minutes to set it up for just FTP. Then you just use a FTP app to upload pictures. You can organize however you like and post links all you want. The links work until such time as you decide to stop paying for the site to exist.

I've rarely used the 'photo hosting' sites as I always assumed this type of thing could happen. I hate reading old posts and finding all the photos missing because someone has deleted their account or whatever.

I simply upload photos to INGO (or other forum) as an attachment. Easy as can be. Another upside is you don't have to repeatedly scroll past the same full size photo's when a post is repeatedly quoted. The only downside, if it is one at all, is that the photos show as a thumbnail that has to be clicked for the full sized photo.

Obviously, because I was using the KISS method while waiting on a professional to give the proper step by step instruction...

Actually, depending on how the upload is configured, it could be beneficial. If the uploaded file is a smaller, more web friendly file, it makes sense. Straight from the phone could be a monster sized high resolution file that would look silly here because it isnt scaled like a downsampled file that doesnt display huge in the forum.

My sig line on photobucket. Has been for few years. The only reason I even use Photobucket is to to share pictures on the forums I visit. It's probably a matter of time before I get nailed for it. That sucks.

Can we move what we have stored in there...???

Just shared this one.

That's a great photo of beautiful child, sir! You are a proud grandpa-terrorist!

Does she had one green eye and one brown eye, or is that just an artifact from the photo?

Please correct me if I'm mistaken. I think that this site (INGO) down sizes posted photos? That or Photobucket is doing it?
I have noticed that, sometime over the past year or so, that large photos are smaller when I return to the page later on.

There's a great advantage to having your own web servers. I can host anything in any format with zero problems.
