This is the way I am thinking, for a computer nufty like me, is it hard to set up and get going. If possible I might even put together a website for the cable gig.
From what I can see the basic set up allows for one website.
Am I missing anything
if you need help you only have to ask... and check out the wiring on my batteries on the trailer :P

PHOTOBUCKET HAS A HACK!!!!

Just add ~original to the end of the link and it works! (before the [/img])

Not sure for how long though. The pic below is hosted from Photobucket if it disappears then the loophole has been closed....

Nice job. Pity I went and redid most of my photos this morning. Using Imgur for now. Let's see how long it lasts...

Google is a lot smarter than that. I think it currently has about 10B revenue/yr

Wonder how long the hack will last?....just successfully changed half a dozen pics in my 4wd build thread here, but tried another forum and it didn't work there.

I played around with "Google Photos" today and found that if you do the following your pics will come up ok on the forum
1/ open google photos (der )
2/ select the photo you want to put in the forum
3/ Left click in it (that will open it in a different view)
4/ Right click
5/ Select "copy image location (left click )
6/ Open forum posting window
7/ Left click on insert image icon   http://www.myswag.org/Themes/Sinful_Silver20_1/images/bbc/img.gif     
8/ Right click on the dialogue box (NOT on the orange bit, leave that there ) and paste
9/ Left click "OK"   You're done

I did start building a website the other day to host my pictures but haven't quite got the hang of it.
But photobucket still worked when I put the photos of my storage boxes up in the my camper trailer thread...

Rehashing an old thread......

Not sure if anyone has noticed, but the extortion PB tried to use on everyone must have failed.

PB now 3rd party host all your pics with no ~original or other workaround. They just watermark the image.

So I guess that is a win.

Pity those that deleted their pics or accounts. I left mine intact but swapped to google photo's as an alternate free hosting source. So My blog and forum posts from that era is back in business -but at some stage I will move all my blog to google when time permits.

Why bother with Photobucket, I just use Imgbb  https://imgbb.com/ for all the public forum stuff and Google photos for all of my private stuff.

Imgbb is just quick and easy to use.

They had a limit before too, cant remember now how much it was. Sometimes when my blog got hammered, the pics would just disappear until the next month came around.

But anyway, photofu(ked it. Good riddance to them I say.

Can’t believe anyone would still be using them today.

If you had used the free service that got wiped, then reinstated with watermarks and you don’t care, that’s fine. But no way I would be using them for anything new after the crap they pulled.
