mokicat 24 Report post Posted July 15, 2012 Can everyone when uploading photo's etc please only use photobucket. Any other way of uploading is seriously eating into our bandwith space, we get it free at the moment, and we aren't in a position to pay for it as of yet. If we use photobucket then the server doesn't store the images, so doesn't eat into our bandwidth. If we exceed it the forum will need to close for the remainder ofany month in which it does, so your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks Moki Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bigdar 62 Report post Posted July 15, 2012 I don't think I do because I do it through tapa. Is that right ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jhc 28 Report post Posted July 15, 2012 As long as you choose 'tapatalk hosted' you're ok... I think Tbh, its easier to just use the PB app on your phone anyway. I think I;ve set it so people cant upload attachments now so it shouldnt let you anyway. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

After thats done uploading pics is just a few clicks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just like I'd have loved to have got the hang of the LCD watch and the calculator when I was 11 years old Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jhc 28 Report post Posted July 15, 2012 you registered on here ok... you worked out how to upload on here before. Its the same process, simpler even. Just go to the site and follow what it tells you to do. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jhc 28 Report post Posted July 16, 2012 Video is different. If you're just posting a link to a youtube video, copy the url (web address in the top bar of your browser - chrome, internet explorer, firefox etc) and paste it between [ media] and [ /media] on here.(without the spaces) If its a video you have uploaded to photobucket, just do exactly as you would for a photo and copy>paste the code.

jhc 28 Report post Posted July 16, 2012 yeah, it took me to the pb page where its hosted. Photobucket doesnt let you embed videos the same way youtube does. It wont play on this web page. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
northernbstard 84 Report post Posted July 17, 2012 Just noticed I had auto upload to PB on my phone switched on which is great for instantly uploading photo's from the phones camera ...However not so good when someone sends you a picture that's not politically correct or risque .... Just had a bollocking for uploading unsuitable content Needless to say it's on manual upload now :Shame On You: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

milowokie 13 Report post Posted July 17, 2012 Is this to apply to ALL or just personal uploads that replace attachments? Can we still link images from other websites? No PB account for me, yet, but I've a huge Dropbox account, should I swap? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jhc 28 Report post Posted July 18, 2012 Just personal uploads on this forum. (aka attachments on the old software). All your old ones will stay and be visible. But you cant upload any more. From now on you need to host images off site, on photobucket/box, imageshack, whatever... Then use the tags to post them here. I know its a pain, but ask anyone who's used a few forums, hardly any let people upload attachments, quite a lot dont even let people post images from off site for some reason... and thats just mean You can post your pics anywhere you like on here, as much as you like.
