LAK74 Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 They actually removed your photos? Mine are still there, but the links don't work, so the site is useless to me since I only used it for 3rd party hosting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pictures are still in my account, I just can't do a thing with them, just like you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAK74 Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 It looks like you can still save your photos so you don't have to take them over again, although they are probably lower res than the originals. Anyway, this whole Photobucket fiasco has motivated me to get off my butt and finally photograph all my crap. The Flickr account is great and easy to use. I've already taken about 300 photos, and should be able to complete a collection album soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsh139 Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 Just when I start to get used to and like Flickr, they get acquired by SmugMug. I hope that they leave the interface alone and don't transfer it to their system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I have used SmugMug to purchase photo prints from a photographer that uses them, I wasn't particularly thrilled with their interface.

mfitz804 Posted April 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 I stopped storing pictures after the Photobucket thing; I upload stuff to post in the forum there, but then I just basically abandon them. Any pictures I wish to store, I keep elsewhere. So the only issue for me will be, where am I going to upload my future memes for forum use?

AParrotLooksAt40 Posted July 31, 2018 Report Share Posted July 31, 2018 When you guys post here, what type of attachment process do you use? I can't seem to get images to show up regardless of which method I use. The user error is strong in this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been clicking the share photo button (looks like an arrow) and just copy/pasting the Url it generates. The forum software will automagically expand it into an image with a link back to Flickr.

For me with Flicker, I just copy the link for the photo, and then paste it here in the body of my post, and when you paste it, it automatically converts to an actual picture instead of just showing a link...

So literally just copying the URL into the usual response field will do that? I'll give that a shot again. Tried everything last night and all I saw was text so I never posted. Maybe it converts after you post..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It usually converts after your paste, but sometimes you'll need to hit the Enter button. The forum software does this with most links (images, twitter, FB, etc).

furiousd Posted July 31, 2018 Report Share Posted July 31, 2018 When I switched to Flickr, my links didn't seem to convert an embedded pic unless it was designated as Public. Friends/Family/Private all just stayed as text. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsh139 Posted November 1, 2018 Report Share Posted November 1, 2018 I guess it was bound to happen. Flickr will soon be limiting free accounts to 1,000 photos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
