A couple of threads in the Finished Models section have not had photos, which are replaced with a "user posted image" message. One was a new post (sorry can't remember which one) but now Mike's Jet Provost pics have disappeared. The messages both link to Photobucket, but don't want to load. Has anyone else had this issue? |

Yesterday someone on HS was posting about PB not working with a few others saying the same was happening to them. Never used it myself so don't know |

One of Photo Bucket's little quirks is your posted photos disappear from a forum or other post if you move the pics around in Photo Bucket. So, if you have a ton of Skyhawk, Crusader and Skyraider stuff all in a folder, and you want to organize them,,,,,,as soon as you put them in the new folders,,,,,,,,,,you bust the link to your postings. That is why I am looking for an easier to work with Photo Host. I have a huge folder that I can't do anything with because I once posted from it, and now can't move the photos or I know I will "bust the link." Edit,,,,,oh, and I know that once I find a new host, I have to leave Photobucket active and leave it alone or else I will,,,,,,,yeah, you guessed it,,,,,,bust the links. I thought that one solution was to post photos from my laptop directly to my message board and then post them,,,,,,,but, somewhere along the line Invision must have disabled that, or changed it to something that I can no longer find. ("attach file" is still there, but, it won't actually show anything in my "test thread",,,,,although it used to) |

Most forum hosts either don't have an upload function, or if they do, it's disabled other than for admins. The reason is simple, allowing uploads is a very easy way to enable a hacker to infect a board with malicious code. I doubt that there's any photo hosting whereby image URLs would be able to be made interchangeable, by shifting images to another folder the address will automatically be modified. peebeep |

Ahh, there's a thought. Thanks for mentioning it, I hadn't thought of that. Maybe I can post as the Admin, and then link to the photos for other sites. If that works, there is going to be a verrry strange thread on there, lol. |

Get a Wordpress account. (They are free.) You get 3GB of space for your media library. I upload all my photos to post on this forum to my wordpress account and post from there. Easy-peasy. |

That's an excellent tip David, I've been thinking about alternative photo hosting because my Photobucket is getting pretty full up, peebeep |

Thanks for all the replies everyone. Much appreciated Looks like it was just PB being a PITA Photobucket that is not Peebeep! :lol:
That was the one Cliff, and it was PB. I remember now, after a few tries, it finally got past the wheel of doom and loaded some pics by right clicking and choosing "Open Image in New Tab".
Already have one, but didn't realise they had an image hosting facility. Thanks for the heads up DK! |
