what other sites work so you can get the usable link? photo bucket is completely useless

[hoochie]

try clicking your picture, then clicking the "chain" icon.
It will pop up links.
choose the bottom one, copy that, then paste it here.
picture is now on this site.
that doesnt work?

[MB_Boy]

I think he's talking about the fact that PBucket is so freaking slow these days it is almost useless. Tried posting a couple things for a member here this past weekend and it was excruciatingly painful. Lagging, slow, pics not loading all the way.....did I say slow?

[twoSevenO]

use the steps in my signature for the easiest way to upload pics to a forum. Photo bucket is crap and overly complicated these days. Imgur requires no account and no need to remember passwords etc.

[MB_Boy]

Hey twoSeven0.... are the pics then on IMGUR for any and all to see if you don't need an account?

+1 Does imgur do us a bamboozling?!

[two-feet]

do you have to manually type the [IMG] thing?

[two-feet]

can you see this photohttp://i.imgur.com/FIRNLXC.jpg

[MB_Boy]

Yup....can see the pic.

[two-feet]

a bit big i guess. all this techno weeny shit makes me need a rum

[twoSevenO]

yes, we can see it ... good job, you've figured it out! :)

[twoSevenO]

This is a problem with all modern cameras and phones. They keep increasing the number of pixels on the device so the size of the pictures keeps increasing. there is no way around it short of manually resizing it on your computer or phone.

Yes. It will technically be visible to anyone. However, random strangers finding your pics won't know whose pics they are. But if i'm sharing pics on a forum they are already in the category of "everyone can see this" .

Camera makers seem to like making the size larger and larger, just look at the ads, it's what sells.
You should be able to lower the image size and pixel count on your camera before taking pictures. This way all your pics will be a more modest size. Kinda defeating the purpose of huge mega pixel pics, but it works.

[Bonz]

try tiny pic. its part of photobucket but can resize as you upload to it, i feel i can do way more on tiny pic. lots of customizing

[Bonz]

looks like can resize in photobucket also as you upload

PHOTO BUCKET IS A JOKE! tried posting pics earlier this morn, but no luck, trying to post pictures should be as easy as, click the attach photo or video button above, select photo or video, and upload.......done and done like it is on any other website, and it would be nice if we could post photos or videos off our iphones or smart phones.....only if we had the technology lol!!

[two-feet]

Ya photobucket basically freezes up my whole computer, not going through that again

[decker9]

What about posting photos from a mobile?? I don't use a pc, I figured something had changed so that photos can't be posted from a phone maybe? Anyone else use their phone for posting photos with luck?

[Sitkaspruce]

I use both these sites. Easy and quick. I am slowly transferring pictures over.

Pretty sure this software version (dated vBulletin) doesn't support it.

Okay.....keep getting the error you'll see in the Bugs and Glitches forum, but will try replying to this one last time.

[MB_Boy]

Got kicked out again....will make this my last attempt. Saved in Word so hopefully this works.


So big issue is that we all want this functionality but problem is that this is an old version of vBulletin. I just don’t think it supports a lot of the picture functionality and other advanced features you see in newer software. I would caution Marc/Spink from moving to new versions of vBulletin without doing plenty of due dligience. A BC sportfishing forum did last year and it was an absolute mess with tons of data (threads) and pictures missing, poor functionality and bugs and slow just to name a few and the worst thing was NOBODY from vBull was there to help them out. ZIPPO for support.

They made the tough decision to limp along with it and quickly find a new platform. I don’t think moving to the new one was cheap as they hired developers/data type guys to map everything over from vBull to Xenforo the new platform. That new platform…..is AWESOME. Everything people want to do with images is fully supported and you can put pics from any device right into a post/thread with no issues. Also can be tailored to accept larger files as so many pics are these days with the advancement of camera technology.
The bad part…..it’s a big undertaking, one that would take plenty of prep to get ready for. Other bad part is it’s the dreaded change! Lots of tech savy folks will figure out new platforms quickly while taking 30 minutes to navigate, read the help sections etc. but others won't. Not sure if you’ve been around when Marc has upgraded software here but it ain’t pretty….I’ve seen a few in my days, hahaha.

if you want to direct upload pics from a cell you`ll need the cell version of vbulletin

forum runner or taptalk

if vb didnt help that other place, then their licence is bunk. thats more what you pay for in these forum softwares. i own one also that just sit idle, they always helped me when i had issues,...and a valid licence

[Squamch]

I have no problems posting using the photobucket app and the full site in chrome browser on an s7. It was a bit glitchy a couple months back on my iPhone though.

i mean posting direct from your cell`s camera to here. needs the other software set up.

It's not their license, they had been with vBull longer than HBC has been around and have upgraded a number of times. vBull had become "bull" as they were acquired early last year or late 2014 and if you do a bit of digging which the owners of the fishing site did they found all sorts of people talking about how the service had become the sh*ts.

Someone from vBull was there and all about them upgrading.....when things went to sh*t.....nobody was to be found. I was one of the ones who helped them look at different forum software and ultimately test Xenforo with their data etc before they went live; these guys weren't dummies and one also worked in the tech world like I do.

[Bonz]

oh, new stuff then. i havent had mine live for few years, that use to be the issue with vb, licences were lifetime if i recall when i bought mine, but ha to pay for tech help, or something. it had just changed when i bought mine
never even heard of that other one

[chadr]

I know things were a bit of a mess on that fishing site for a while, but I think it is much easier to use now after a bit of time spent figuring things out

[MB_Boy]

Yup a handful of us spent a few weeks testing every function possible in the Xenforo software before it went live so we could help out any "how do I" issues.

I keep clicking on this damn thread looking for something about a plane.

It's pretty plane and simple you likely won't find one at this point but things could change. :mrgreen:

I feel like I just got Rick rolled.

[two-feet]

I tried with my original post to put up a picture of a plane, it failed.

[Bonz]

[tigrr]

Hey Two feet post some link to the pics and maybe we can help.

[MB_Boy]

I tried with my original post to put up a picture of a plane, it failed.

HOW are you trying to post them?

[Glenny]

Any sites where you can upload HD Video? (Besides Youtube) Photo Bucket don't work for that.

Why not just use YouTube?.

[boxhitch]

Another good pic hosting site is Hunt101.com
definitely HBC-type friendly

best place for true HD is vimeo. your limited per week in data for free acct, or they have paid ones for profession levels. and you dont lose quality when uploading, like you do on youtube

Got it figured actually, just biding my time. Waiting for a night with more time, less sobriety.
