Thanks so much for doing this Dazza! Checked my build thread last night ad the pictures I hadn't yet moved to Flikr from PB are all showing.

Glad that the 'how-to' guides I'd bookmarked are back - glad that PB hasn't beaten the forum! Great stuff!

If space is an issue, could you get your scripts to target only certain sections within the forum? For example the how-to guides and project threads would be the primary targeted areas then general areas after.

Moving over to Flickr, sorry for the broken picture links!

I don't know why i was worried about space i have 2x1TB set up in raid 1 so 1TB available. I scraped every photobucket image that i could find and it came to 8gb.

Did you delete these images from pb? could not scrape them

Can you put in a script that when photobucket is detected in the image URL it will not allow you to post? (I know you can ;-)   )

Does not stop people posting them else where in the forum though.

Using the word censoring feature i've added a dirty fix which should stop that dreaded image from being shown in new posts.

in new posts photobucket..com will be replaced with photobucket.

But if you edit an old post that still has broken photobucket links it will break them more.

Not to sure on the last fix it stops every photobucket image from being displayed (99% of these are photobucket image not available as they would not scrape).
