Re: PostImage
All my pictures in the threads are also gone. In the end we'll have to find a way to post images from our Drive or local server

Re: PostImage
They have had to change their servers. The solution is to go back through your posts and edit ".org" to ".cc" within the img code. I did this today for two threads I had used it on. Eventually those links will break.
The problem is that there is no such thing as a free lunch and whoever they had their stuff stored with got sick of them. It is a load a bandwidth being used for no money coming in. It will go bang like Photobucket.
Other forums I'm on are phpBB based like us and have their own photo storage built on and also managed to run a script to save all the Photobucket images automatically. We are lagging behind here. I for one wouldn't mind contributing funds to a club that supports a car I love in order to upgrade.
(P.S. I still hold a grudge against Photobucket for being greedy Internet wreckers!)

Re: PostImage
Well said - a lot of useful information has disappeared from the internet thanks to Photobucket, not in the least from our own how-to section here.jamescarruthers wrote: ↑Sun Apr 15, 2018 8:45 pmOther forums I'm on are phpBB based like us and have their own photo storage built on and also managed to run a script to save all the Photobucket images automatically.

I too would be willing to contribute to upkeep if it means that we can ensure that this place stays online and future-proofed. I'd also be willing to donate web-facing disk space, although I'm sure there would be more professional options if we had funds available.

Re: PostImage
I've emailed our president and asked what we can do - maybe a voluntary donation, or better still a small annual subscription to cover the ongoing server charges. Hopefully he is back from sabbatical now and will have the time to look at options.

Re: PostImage
I'm in for both a puntual donation to get a server running and for an anual fee to keep it running. Posts without images loose precious information.

Re: PostImage
I would be up for the same, assuming it’s a sensible figure.
In the mean time I think I'm going to switch to Google even if it is a bit of a bind to link the images (which is why I chose PostImage) can't see them going bust anytime soon.
May take some time to update my current images and doesn’t even know where they all are.
