Peter-Bullfinch Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 This will be damson gin at Christmas time. I thought that if the fallen tree was a bit of a random picture then this one is equally so. The good thing about damson gin is you need a couple of clear wine bottles and that means drinking the contents first..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my interests is traditional boat decoration, and there were some excellent examples on the forum, I have posted a lot of work by Ron Hough over the years which could be accessed by members, it has all gone now. When I have more time I may start a thread to which people can add their "lost" photos. I will also be deleting everthing I have in my Photobucket library and will be cancelling my membership. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matty40s Posted August 13, 2017 Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 A 7mb picture reduced to 378kb. This caused flooding in Louth. The storm, not the resizing. 3 hours ago, tree monkey said: The first of a very long day of emergency call outs Which you blamed on me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imgur is a very good service if anyone's looking for alternatives. A bit more corporate than a lot of photo dumping grounds so a bit more likely to stick around.

The thing apparently had been looking dodgy for ages The fungi problem reminds me of the 87 storm, after which a large proportion of the trees that came down around south Hampshire turned out to have some form of disease inside the trunks.

Most if not all mature trees will be colonised by at least 1 type of fungi, in fact new research is suggesting that most trees of all age ranges will be colonised by some sort of fungi. Funnily enough many of the veteran trees, which are riddled with all sorts of different fungi and mostly hollow survived the 87 storm.

Dave Payne Posted November 13, 2017 Report Share Posted November 13, 2017 If you have google chrome, there is a fix, i can now see all photobucket photos once again on this page! Top right hand corner, three little dots, click this then click more tools, then click extensions, scroll to the bottom and click get more extensions, then type photobubket fixer and select one of them and install. Easy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I presume you have not paid for Photobucket at any point? If so I'd be tempted to leave your photos there, so they have to provide the disk space for them in perpituity. Deleting them, by way of a protest, is surely playing into their hands? If all of us disgruntled with what they have done decided to do that, they would free up many terabytes of disk - that's hardly likely to upset Photobucket's owners, if you weren't ever paying them (!)

Had they wanted an annual subscription of a few quid to allow you to coninue using them as a host for web images, quite a lot of people might have coughed up, just to avoid the hassle of changing. But they don't want a few quid - from memory they want far more than most of us would ever justify. Thus they have pissed off thousands of people, but probably produced very little new income by their actions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had not paid a subscription, and as the only place I ever posted photos was this forum, I no longer need them with the new click and drag facility. So yes they have shot themselves in the foot as far as people like me are concerned. Edited November 13, 2017 by David Schweizer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't need a Fuji camera for the programme to work, it will manage any pictures you download. I think the programme can be dowloaded for free, but the new verion does not appear to have the batch reduction feature any more, but the Microsof Picture Manager does have a re-sizing feature.
