Photobucket no longer supporting 3rd party hosting

[nissannewby]

Yeah he has, his registration is fine and should see pics?

Photobucket has changed their terms and isnt allowing 3rd party sharing of the pics stored.

That is going to bugger up a lot of threads on here, hope Flickr don't do the same thing.

Yeah it will. Has ruined quite a lot of threads on patrol4x4 as well and quite a few people arent happy about. Photobucket want $399 to give you ability to share to a 3rd party as well.

[MudRunnerTD]

That just made photobucket completely irrelevant. Seriously that's huge! I stopped storing stuff there when Tappa made posting pics easy. They made posting vids easy toooooo..... them look what they did!!!.

Yep it's ruined a lot of threads here and forums around the world no doubt.

Can't believe it!

Keep uploading direct to the forum folks!

Is there a way to upload photos to the forum and have some control of the size they are displayed and not have thumbnails that have to be opened?

Sorry about the thread hijack Darren, maybe we should move this conversation.

I can't even see your photos even going direct to your Photobucket page.

Let's pray they realise the magnitude of this issue world wide with literally millions of photos now blocked on thousands of websites and thousands of posts.

I haven't had a chance to research this so what's the go. If I pay photobucket $300 then I can see the photos or does the photobucket account holder need to pay?

Never liked Photobucket, but like'em even less now. So users can't access their own photos now? Was there no warning? Like the boss says "Well that's just shit". Surely it can only bite them where it hurts.

[AB]

Ive never used it either, Darren or anyone else using photobucket, can you see your own photos when you go to your account direct on their site?

[MudRunnerTD]

Yeah I have just been on Google having a read. Madness. Forums all over the internet are in the same boat!! This is huge. In a world where Facebook is dumbing us down and making forums harder to survive this is a real shame. Facebook is hideous for good technical information threads like this forum and photobucket had just dismantled half our forum.

P4X4 MUST be in big trouble too.

This is criminal.

[TPC]

How are you uploading via PC, what do you press and do?

I click on the "Insert Image" tab, then change to "Basic Uploader" then select file and upload.
I have to change to "basic Uploader as I cannot select files if I don't.

Tony, that should all be fixed now including all of the images on the entire forum, I see your one here is working, can you also confirm mate?

Yep I can handle it.

I've been in discussions about moving us to a much better company too where we would have unlimited storage and extra load resources at peak times so this might be a goer now.

Yes, definitely. It's basically you use your google drive space to store your photos & then generate a link by clicking on the icon that says "Share" on the top rightish of the google page. Just type google photos to google, while you're logged onto your gmail, google drive etc. or just bookmark the below link


https://photos.google.com/


Generate a link for the particular photo and then simply paste it here.

It is probably still overloading with others all around the world trying to do the same thing.
Shortly after this started I could not even log onto Photobucket, fortunately I had not used it much and have happily closed my account now.

Thought I would bring this back into the light a little.

There is another bypass if you use google chrome as your browser. Go to menu to right of the address bar and click tools, then proceed to extensions, you then want to find more extensions and search for photo bucket. It should be the top extension put this in place and it will allow you to see any embedded pics on forums.

Im not sure if this is a permanent fix but it certainly works for now.

Same applies with Firefox browser too. So I assume IE will have it.

I cant take any credit for it. I think it came about on the other forum so tried it and passed on the info. Only a messenger mate.

Yeah the extension is going to need to access your data to convert the images but what else it does who knows if anything at all.

Check the source code and decipher it if you want mate.

The risk is the same as anything you do on the net.

Anyone using Chrome would have Google using your data for their own agendas, anyone using IE could have Microsoft spying anyone using facebook has them collecting data.

Data data data rules the world now so whatever anyone does on the internet is at their own risk.
