searching for photo uploading
« on: July 07, 2017, 02:58:36 pm »
that d..... photobucket thing has captured all my pics on all my postings here. What a mess!!!
Can't find a way to get them working again. Also searching how to post new pics or take part on BOM.

At least I could rescue my site with the great help of my son Andi (Thanks a lot, I was really down!)

So, what is a good easy way to post images again. I'm not the best with that computer work ...


For those of you who remember my thread about a wide limbed osage - it's now on my site:

I should be able to fix all the old photobucket images in the forum, with automation, if PA's admins help me out...

i've seen that you've uploaded some images to some .de site. your own website? You can right click on those images, open in new tab and copy the url from address bar or just right click and copy image address, paste the link ending in .jpg or .png (a direct link to an image) and surround it with img tags by selecting the pasted image link and clicking that button in the middle left in PA that looks like the mona lisa (shows Insert Image when you hover over it)

So far, am pleased with imgur.com as hosting site for images. Easy to use and responsive. Bubby and at least several others on PA are using it.
And, yes, let's wish the plague on photobucket.

I had it happen also bud. I also used Imgur to redo all my pics. Thank gosh I still had them all in my computer and saved them. It was actually a lot easier to use than photobucket.

Dang Simson, that's a lot of beautiful bow pictures to lose. I am very sad to hear they are no longer on PA.

That was part of inspiration .....I loved looking back to the old posts and seeing the fantastic bows.  All of the profiles, front, side, braced, FD......the best ones made me want to copied their bows.  I still look back and wish the pic's were not deleted.....

Sorry to hear your pics are affected as well, your buildalongs are my biggest inspiration!
I work in the IT business so if you would like some help getting the old pictures transferred to some other account and link them up to the old posts I will be glad to do so

I'm considering making a web app, a small web site that would allow you to see these photobucket pictures.

Now what I'm wondering is, would you rather paste a link to a thread to that web site, or press "quote" at the top right of a post, copy the contents with the bbcode (the brackety stuff), and paste them on my website to see the post with the pictures?

Would you be able to do the latter? It would be easier for me. Or, which would you prefer? It's less work if I pick one.

ie the link to this thread is http://www.primitivearcher.com/smf/index.php?topic=61002
I guess I could make a link of the form http://www.primitivearcher.com/smf/index.php?topic=61002.msg852955#msg852955 work too.
