Title: What to do with pics?
Post by: Biru on April 27, 2012, 04:51:04 PM
I've got to clean out my Photobucket account in a bit. While the loss of a couple of girlie pics in the "Women Thread" won't be a big deal, the broken links will cripple the "Cheapo Multitool" thread, which is a much more useful thread, I can't seem to modify or edit the posts to install the pics directly.

My question: Can you mods put the pics in "Cheapo Multitools" permanently in the thread?

Thanks for any help.

Bill.

I've sent this link to Whoey- he may have a solution.

Thanks. I've got the pics so I can upload them again directly from my computer. The "Cheapo Multitools" thread is really the only big deal. There's certainly enough girlie pics in the "Women Thread" that two of Avril, one Kelly Monaco and one of Zira from "Planet of the Apes" won't be a big loss.

Regards and Thanks, Bill.

Just talking to Whoey at the moment and it seems like the best bet might be to just upload them as attachments to new posts.

I'd do that. Actually I'm gonna do that, download all of my old pics I have on photobucket, organise them in specific folders and use these for future posts. And remember not to upload 500+ unnamed pics to a single folder. Much simpler than changing posts in hundreds of threads in a couple forums over a few years. Just leave the ones you have posted and start over.

That wouldn't be a big deal, but the problem would be the same, wouldn't it? I can't get into the old posts to add the image location on the new account. If I could get into the post, I'd simply replace the PB image link with the actual picture upload. Please correct me if I'm mistaken.

So if I understand, Whooey says to create a new "Cheapo Multitools" thread?

Thanks, Bill.

No, I say leave all the pics in this photobucket account as they are and forget about it. Use it as an archive. Open up a new one for your new pics. I wanted to reorganise my PB account fora long time but there are too many pics out there in threads I don't even know I posted in and some other people have used my pics in their posts too. Just yesterday I stumbled upon a thread from a year ago over on EDCF where someone used one of my pics to describe something. I don't know how many pics you have, but starting of fresh seems to be the simplest solution.
