Photobucket

[Adam0604]

I'm a little confused as to why some people seem to be getting their images shown as broken links/images now.

I don't pay for Photobucket and all of mine still seem to work in my build thread, bar ones I think I accidentally deleted on my Photobucket account.

Probably because Dazza's script has now scraped your photos to his own server and they now link correctly. Try and post a new picture directly from photobucket and you'll see the issue.

If you 'inspect' the photo (using Chrome) or even copy the image location and paste it in the address bad, you'll see your images are now held on 'Daz.co' and not on photobucket

EDIT: Seems to have worked? Or does it need to be a brand new image uploaded because the above would be in Dazza's script already?

Can you post a link to the thread with broken images?

If you 'inspect' the photo (using Chrome, other wording for other browsers) you will see the image is now held on 'Daz.co', although the original clickable link to photobucket is still in place

Please don't post any more photobucket images 

I probably could remove the links as well but that would be a pita. I think the broken images are where the images no longer existed. I could probably scrape these out and replace with our own image not available image

Some photobucket images were still showing maybe that server has a problem, the question is how long until they block that also.

Was only intended for Adam to test it - sorry

Its ok just updated the link.

[dazza]

Yeah I noticed that yesterday.

It's a good idea so the page isn't littered in links but the downside is if I were to write my thread again with photos using imgur, I wouldn't know what photos to include as reference.

You don't need to write it again now. Images have not been renamed apart from replacing spaces with _

[Adam0604]

Hmm, guess for any future ones I'll just switch to imgur instead, as sounds like PB is turning into a right pain in the arse.

[dazza]

what i could do is replace the photobucket clickable link with a #.

would work like this. click image below.

Yes please use imgur. I think we will be moving the forum from this server and i may allow image uploads to the forum providing the storage does not get silly.

Hey, that's my car!!!

Hey, that's my car!!! 

I had your build thread open so i used that as an example.

The pic below has been updated but if you click it you will go to photobucket.



So one option would be to replace all the links with a #.

[dazza]

I think i have just removed all photobucket links from around the copied images, 28167 of them. No more free links for photobucket.

If you guys can have a browse about make sure i've not broken anything.

Great work Dazza.
Must have taken you ages.

What are we best to use now tinypic maybe?
