Re: Photobucket

Ron your pictures have certainly disappeared from some threads on the forum, I wonder what's gone wrong?

Can you still log onto photobucket? and does it say if you have exceeded your data storage limit? mine says its at 21%.

Rob



Hi Rob. Yes I can still log in but unable to upload any pictures from my folders. It says there are 1888 pictures stored but nothing in the albums although there are rows and rows of blue titles for the pictures. Something is amiss and I don't know if it's anything mischievous or sinister. But Photobucket say they will look into it. I guess I'm in a queue though? I'm at 66% so plenty of space left. Ron

On a lot of other forums, the BSA Owners Club for instance, you can upload photos/pictures etc. directly from your desktop with no need to use third party programs or websites such as Photobucket. Cannot this be done here and has it been looked into Admin?

IT is all about server security and space.
If the image is simply a reference to an image on another server ( photobucket for example ) then the forum only uses a tiny amount of hard drive space and it also allows the search to happen a lot faster.
Then there is security.
A lot of nasty code can be hidden in an image.

Most of the forums that I am on that allow direct posting are run by a commercial company or a trade group so there is a lot of big wallets carrying the can.
And finally there is the KISS principle.
No direct uploads is simple . it also discourages members posting 142 images they took on their smart phone, all badly framed & out of focus

Re: Photobucket

No,

If you sent me a PM I would not see it as everything in that email address is automatically diverted into the trash folder & deleted.

I do that with all forums that I am on.

So drag up the original thread or start a new one
