The Photobucket Ransom thing

[Mad Lord Snapcase]

As of this morning, all my pictures on the LAF have gone. I'm closing my Photobucket account and will try Google Photos. Does anyone know how I link a Google Photo to show up here?

I have tried out the myalbum app. But I cannot figure out how to upload or share pictures from my phone. Can anyone help out a dummy? If I cannot upload and share from my phone it is of no use to me.

[Andym]

The app is pretty useless for sharing. Open it in a webpage instead mate.

[Dr. Zombie]

Still useless. When I open in a webpage I can choose upload. But it then forces me to open the app to upload. Only there is no upload option in the app.

I think I will have to keep on looking for an alternative.

[Andym]

1.Open the webpage mate

2. Go to your album and scroll down past the header picture to the picture you want to share.

3. Click on the picture.

4. When it opens, there should be three small dots top right. Click on them.

5. Choose the 'link' option and copy your preferred method of linking.

Hope that helps buddy!

Yep I am with you on that. But it wont let my upload pictures from my phone. And since my phone is also my camera it is a bit problematic.

Bah humbug, I just deleted my Photobucket account. No great loss, I am not a profilic poster of images, and I got all of it on my hard drive anyways, so I can post them any time, so as long I find a hosting place for them.

If I had to pay for hosting, I'd rather rent a web hotel or similar for pics and website, they dont' cost that much in comparison.

[Vanvlak]

Same here, I just blew mine up.

Have you allowed permissions for MyAlbum to access your phones photos? That's the only other thing I can think of!

Currently my Photobucket linked pictures seem to be still showing up. Didn't have that many there anyway before I got sick of the constant ad pop ups and ported everything over to Imgur.

[flatpack]

Would you mind telling us how you posted the pictures from Imgur, and if it works from an IPad ?

I don't believe you can. I tried looking into Google Photos as an alternative to Photobucket previously, but couldn't find a way to hotlink images.

Spoke too soon, got the email notification overnight images still up though, at the moment.

You need to make sure the album with the photos is either shared or public.

Find the picture you want and click on it

On the page that opens up, right click on the photo (not the page url) and choose "select link"

Paste this link between the usual img tags. Note, this link is likely to be very long, so don't panic

This used to work with picasa, and I'm pretty sure I've linked from google photos as well. The important things are the album permissions and making sure you get the picture's url, not the page's url

I switched to imgur... however... you can also use Pinterest.

imgur is far easier to use though.

I backed up all my miniatures photos by throwing a few coins at the Prof, becoming a supporting adventurer and creating my own album here at LAF.

I really recommend if you are not a supporting adventurer to become one.
