The Photobucket Ransom thing

[Ray Rivers]

Funny enough the links to my photos still haven't been broken.

Possibly it is because I haven't visited the site since the new policy or maybe they are just taking their time slashing my throat.

Or maybe it's just because nobody every looks at my photos!

Mine started breaking about a week after the majority of people. Not quite sure why.

Can anyone confirm if the Arboreal Extravaganza is still visible?

It's still visible Matt.

My guess is that they are understaffed and it's taking time time to sift through the thousands of users 

They've always been shit with customer services so why not be shit with this as well 

cheers

Thanks, that's odd.

Not looking forward to relinking that one when the day comes

I fear this day won't be to far. I was photobucketed two days ago.
Now I'm with abload.de, for a €2 Fee(per month, edit) it's ad free and you're allowed 3rd party hosting.

Abload looks very good indeed and I really like their approach.  Too bad it's not in English. Ashamed of saying this, but my German despite having lived several years in Germany, is a bit rusty. So for the time being I'm stuck with a paying account on Image shack.

Yeah, unfortunately it's only in german. But apart from that it's much better to handle than PB.

Am I missing something ?
When I opened their link, it asked me at the top of the screen if I wanted it translated to English (pop up box)....so I did.

If it is techically possible I would rather pay to LAF for hosting photos than to some unpredictable external provider. We are 6700 registered members on LAF. If we just paid a few euros annually it would go a long way...

I think that is a splendid idea and a number of folks already use their galleries to link to.

Been ages since I threw money at the Prof, but if folks start going in this direction (linking to their galleries) I would imagine the server cost would go up.

You can give money to LAF any time you like. There is a donate button somewhere that makes it quick and easy.

Actually the prof removes it from time to time.

You can also host photos here already.

Put the photos up and pay what you think is fair, no need to make it a 'thing'.

I guess if we do not make it a "thing" with more funding this forum might be a boring place without images. With Photobucket dead I do not know how to show photos or link to LAF galleries. Tutorial anywhere?

Donate button is currently AWOL.  Hopefully it will be back soon.
