As AB has already answered no, I don't believe any 3rd party AB will every have the ability 2 store images 2 the forum, only way 2 keep photo's safe withing the forum and on the forums server is by directly uploading 2 the forum. Then the only way you will loose them then is if the servers HDD fails and someone has been slack with backupsQuote:

This is being used by loads of forums as we speak.
Problem now being PB have stopped this causing issues but I'm working on that.
Server backup is automatically done, no issue there...

Being one of the members not using any third party software to post and only exclusively use the forum and tappa to post pics... do I get a prize??
Actually would tappa do the same in the future and charge you for posting photos and not just using the app?
................on the road
Very possible and probable I say!!!Quote:

I have an idea if members can download their albums. Give them to me and I run a custom find and replace URL change from PB to NP but that may be hard to do.

Haha....... that ^ reminds me of this classic .......(captured on one of my visits to China) :bowdown:
Attachment 72396
Ok great news, this new mod does work, it pulls every 3rd party image into the forum and saves it locally and references that on where the 3rd party image was on the forum.
Bad news, it doesnt work for PB photos.
I'll run this soon and we will be safe from any other 3rd party companies in the future changing their terms.
In the mean time before I run this we need to solve PB issue.
Anyone have any bright ideas?
Options so far are...
- Users put their photos back in the missing posts - Nightmare!
- Somehow work out a find and replace attachment script, users download their PB accounts and give me the folders - Working on this but not sure if this can be done.
- Users pay for the yearly fee, we run this script and problem solved - Not likely for users to fork out $400
Working on option 2
Champion AB what a nightmare. How about we all drive to their HQ do donuts on their lawn and smash down their letter box. . .
So does that mean all uploaded tapa & other images will be saved in the forum now? Do they get copied or will they be in both? . .

Yeah its a great mod I wish we had of done this years ago and we wouldn't need to worry about any of this!Quote:

We have 715,000 posts in batches of 100 = 7150 processes so the forum should be all done and referencing every single image locally in about a week or so.
I have excluded all images from Photobucket until we can work out a decision on this?
Thanks for your effort @AB.
Spewing we didn't have this on earlier!!!
Forum may run slow at times for the next week or so but so far its crunching the data nicely!
I'll get back to your other issue too mate, I just haven't stopped this week and this issue was high priority of course.
Still need to solve PB issue but I have left the original images and URl paths there if a solution can be found.
Also, this feature will not work on old locked threads so if anyone comes across any on there travels let us know and we'll have to manually fix it if need be.
@AB mate, you've definitely got them smart denim genes :-) How's it looking for the Tapatalk/Vimeo 'Videos' like Ellis Track, are they salvageable someday or just pictures for now oldest mate?
Haven't had a chance old mate, if you can paste a link here to an affected thread I'll take a look one day.Quote:

I'm pretty sure we worked out that vimeo videos have an expiration date!

I guess ill do nothing until the dust settles, and wait for suggestions from you guys, i know something will have to be done with mine (and other peoples threads), at the very least ill get the pics back on here somewhere in a thread, even if it means they all go on in a consecutive upload.
Im sure i can remember where they are taken, even if i cant remember the dates, so at least i can add some form of description. :D
Ok thanks Steve. At this stage don't rename or move any photos out of the folder structure you downloaded.Quote:

I downloaded each pic individually, i don't think you can download a complete "album" with one click ?
I guess the pics may have PB file names that may allow allocation to where they were in my thread ? ,im on a different PC at present, so can't ,(in other words im too lazy) to check right now.
There has been a lot of talk about "Ransomware" in the news lately, this whole Photobucket bullshit has been a case of legal but immoral ransomware.
I really hope the assholes responsible for this lose their jobs when it all backfires for them.
You can from their web site, but in saying that I have a slow internet connection 2 the pc at home so though I would try and download Darren's CV build thread on my phone but could not see the option when using the phone even though it was still using a browser and not an appQuote:
