    Photobucket!

    Now that photobucket has decided to play silly buggers with its third party hosting policy- just how do you get photos on here now?

    Showing my lack of technical expertise right here!😉

    Re: Photobucket!

    Are you on a phone Liam or PC? Either use attach files or insert image buttons. Attach files you can drag and drop files from your PC into the upload section. Insert images you can attach from folders either on your mobile or from the PC. Phone images make sure you take them as low res or they will be too big.

    Re: Photobucket!

    im now moving my pictures to postimg and editing links this wil take time but is better than photobucket and is free and saves server space

    others can do this if you like but attachments stay forever

    Mick should we not just ditch using 3rd party hosting? We may end up just as we are now if ever the host decides to fold. I guess we are also going to have to start running through all old threads and binning the dead links?

    Old thread editing is never going to happen unless you're able to do it full time for 6 months or whatever.

    Because of the time limit on editing individuals can't edit their own project threads, not many would anyway.
