Re: PhotoBucket making changes...
Some store in the "cloud" me I store on my computer and post from there. Not that I follow my own advice, which may bit me and really need to do as I am going to suggest, every so often it would be a good idea, esp family photos to save on a disk or flash drive.

Re: PhotoBucket making changes...
It looks like pb users will have to upgrade to a paying account to allow third party linking. As that is how most of my pics are hosted when I post them on here (along with many others) there will be a lot of older threads where the pictures will no longer show.
I just downloaded all my pics off photobucket in case they become no longer accessible to me. Mart. |

Re: PhotoBucket making changes...
That has always been a problem (now a bigger one!) with linked photos. I find in a lot of searched/archived threads where all or at least a lot of the photos are no longer available. Very frustrating sometimes when you find something very interesting.

Well it was good while it lasted. Most of the tech threads will be completely useless now. Dayum. |

Re: PhotoBucket making changes...
Just because you're paranoid, it doesn't mean there isn't anyone out to get you...

Re: PhotoBucket making changes...
This is such bad news and so frustrating, as people have been warned so many times in so many threads that something like this (or so many other things) couid easily happen with the pictures in thousands of threads being lost, rendering them useless in many cases. LOAD THEM INTO FORDBARN AND THEY'LL MOST LIKELY BE THERE AS LONG AS FORDBARN ITSELF IS STILL AROUND.

Re: PhotoBucket making changes...
If the story is real and not "fake news" I put Photobuckets decision right up with the ransomware attack of a couple of weeks ago. From a PR standpoint it is like finding a rat in the kitchen of a fast food restaurant. I am all in favor of a company making a profit but the way this was handled I think will put them out of business. Isn't capitalism great!!

The statement above also works for other forums that you belong to as well. |

Re: PhotoBucket making changes...
been using PB for many years, always thought it was a great way to share PICS, but good things come to an end some times. If there are some IT guys on this site that could coach us with a work around, that would be great, especially the way to download directly form our computer to the site/forum directly. like a copy and paste, that sometimes works on selected forums
thanks for all and any help. |

Here are some screenshots of the process. Under EDIT select GO ADVANCED and the shown screen pops up. On the advanced screen click on the down arrow next to the paperclip (there are other ways to do this, but this is the method I use most of the time) and the MANAGE ATTACHMENTS screen pops up. Select BROWSE and locate the photo file you want to upload on your computer and select it (be sure it is within the size requirements listed). Then select UPLOAD and wait for the file to upload. Then just select SAVE on the original edit page. A lot of photos are too large a format to upload this way and need to be resized to less than around 558.9 KB for a jpg. I use Microsoft Photo Editor to do this, but there are other methods. Last edited by JSeery; 07-02-2017 at 12:50 PM. |

Re: PhotoBucket making changes...
Well, I have the same problem. Can not copy my Photobucket photos like I used to. How did you "strip it bare"? That is what I want to do. Photobucket is so overloaded with ads it is unbelievable. I need to rescue my photos!!!
Thanks John |

The ones you may already have copies of can just be deleted.
