So... it seems photobucket no longer allows third party hosting of images. All of my images for this site are now blocked. For a frugal $399 per year, I can have the pictures allowed for outside linking. Argh. Stefan, any advice? I'd hate to see my Resources, Comet Resto page, etc no longer be available to the users on this site.
What a nightmare! Took a look at some options and there is no easy fix. I think the best option is to download your albums and then send them to me and then I will manually adjust them. As long as the filenames dont change, it should not be too bad. https://support.photobucket.com/hc/en-us/articles/201892970-Downloading-Albums We could try this method with a few tech resources.
Ok, cool. 90% of my forum photos come from 1 album. Does that make it better or worse? Lol I think some of my Steering wheel stuff is in a misc album. We could try that first.
There are add ons that will get around this issue just wish I nnew about it before I shut my account down! http://mmb.maverick.to/threads/photobucket-fix.115457/
It seems photobucket has realized that $399 per year for 3rd party image hosting was a little too steep. Now they offer a $99 annual upgrade for non-commercial image housing tailored for forums, non - commercial embedding, etc.
if people keep waiting them out theyll eventually drop there price another option is to save every single image to your computer . then upload them again wherever you want but that takes TIME and STORAGE depending on how many pics you have on there it could take a very long time.
Yep, I have a couple hundred photos. Don't have the patience to download each one by one. It is also annoying that they also mysteriously no longer support batch downloads...
