Azul Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 <p>Seeing that Photobucket is now charging $400 a year to upload photos on websites (look I understand they are a business, and I feel like people complain about businesses even though if we were running them we would do the same things because businesses are there to make money. For example, McDonald's crazy prices they have now, look if they did research and realized they would make a lot more money with those crazy prices than we would all do the same thing, but $400 a year?! Jeez! I can't imagine anyone actually paying that. $10 a year I could understand, and some people would actually pay it!) is there any good upload sites you guys have found? I looked at the forums and I haven't been able to find one specific site that people can agree on. I think there is also a good lesson here in that we should always be backing up these pictures on are computers in case Photobucket or someone else gets wiped out.</p><p> </p><p> I posted this in the mod forum because this is the forum were people post the pictures.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler Gadzinski Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 <p>I found that Imgur for me, will not work. It changes the file names, and when posting multiple cuts at a time, this is a BIG hassle.

Tyler Gadzinski Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 <p>I think Postimg is the only one I haven't really looked at. As far as my own site for pictures, there's downloadable codes that mimic Photobucket. Just need the money to get a domain/host and a web builder. There's full instructions on how to do it step by step with what site to download the code, what site to host on, and what web builder to use. </p><p> </p><p> As I haven't started on that project, I don't know if it'll be like Photobucket where multiple people can register, or not. But if it can, best believe I'll be letting everyone on these forums know to sign up <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 <p>I use my own server (Wrestling Nexus) for this purpose. The diary I did was stupidly short, and there was much more planned from me, but the base work was all there and the bandwidth and space was worth paying for. May use it for other things in the future too.</p><p> </p><p> With a .htaccess file I could prevent hotlinking from certain sites too.</p><p> </p><p> Generally for image sharing I would go with imgur, but it is annoying when you need the filenames.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The links still have the worker's names in them. It would be cool to have a website for this, because it seems like there are always going to be hangups with upload sites for downloads and stuff like photobucket.

The reason I am stressing this so much is because I would hate for 1 day a popular uploading site crashes or does what Photobucket did and users end up losing 50% of the work they worked so hard on. I am also stressing this so much because I know what that is like. At least 2 times I lost valuable stuff on my computer because I didn't back it up. It took me so long to learn my lesson. I lost an idea for a project that was like 300,000 words and something that could of made me a fortune. Even my Dad complemented it and he never complements me on anything! I don't want something like that to happen to the people on here. We need some type of a well structured plan that everyone uses instead of leaving it up to chance.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Roguey Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 I mean this has probably reached the point of overthinking. It's just a forum at the end of the day. It's not like we need a crack team to find one website we all use. The forum has existed for like years with people using different websites for hosting and will keep on turning if people keep using different websites for hosting.

There are photos on my computer that I saved before the Photobucket incident that no longer will show up. So I was thinking what happens if most people use, lets say imgur, and 1 day imgur shuts down randomly and no one has access to any of their photos anymore and even if you saved them on your computer before the crash, they still won't show up on your computer like what happen to me with photobucket. Now all of the work everyone did is gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now all of the work everyone did is gone. Photobucket has stated that you can still download all of your images off their site, as you own the pictures, and they do not. Unsure if this applies for downloading images off someone else's Photobucket. All of my images are intact yet after the situation with Photobucket. So I don't fully understand this issue. When you upload something onto the internet, it is there forever, no matter how hard you try to remove it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure your computer isn't on the fritz? Cause that sounds more like an issue with your computer saving files than it does with Photobucket. How were you saving them?

TheWho87 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Some time back Photobucket stopped letting you "save as" images, you have to specifically use their download option to get images off there now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
