photobucket images

Only someone with admin rights can upload and redirect the button logos to another host.

Until then, I suggest that we all continue to SUPPORT this wonderful resource as best as we are able, by continuing to use it.

I wasn't implying a lack of support, just saying that it makes the forum harder to use. Never seen the point of photobucket these days, and never had an account. If this is Photobucket's way of protesting a point, it's pretty low!

No problem with that Paulmold, it can happen to the best of us, internet problems know no bounds!

Strangely, I've been on other forums where pictures have been posted via photobucket, and have had no problems..

Which is why the 'forumotion' (and/or other hosting sites) connection mooted might have some merit (Y) (thumbsup) :D (big grin)

Hi all, just logged on and wonderful....! No Photobucket pop-ups. Thanks for anyone who solved this issue. Andy

May I enquire how you did it?

I have no such luck on both PC with Win7 Pro or Tablet running Android.

Where is the little "i" hiding? if that is what you used.

I think it varies according to your browser, but thanks the the stirling efforts of Ed (Admin) we are sufficiently back to normal that drastic individual action seems no longer necessary.

Well done Ed. I bet your eyeballs are square by now from staring at the monitor!

EDIT:

Here's a link to 'Image Block' for FF

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/image-block/

Click 'install', then click on the little picture icon in FF's top right bar to enable the blocker, then reload the ASOF page with F5

Chris if you think it can be done in an hour best you pop over here and give me hand  
Been at it for many hours, and still many more hours to go...

Ive just checked the records (16th June) and this went out so I suspect its lost in the post, now putting another in the post. 
Sorry for any inconvenience caused.

Regards

Ed

Thank you Ed. All back to normal now and I can get rid of Firefox.

I think the operative phrase might be, "with access to the originals", which I see from your posts might be a little difficult if they're being held hostage by Photoblockit.
It also assumes that the new host is selected and ready for a mass upload, I admit.
I'd be more than glad to man the pumps if it was needed though, and you've done a great job so far, many thanks.

Photobucket has now disappeared from my tablet, it disappeared as suddenly as it appeared without any help from me.

Leighton.

You had a lot of help from Admin though Leighton. 

Now you can browse again have a look at what he has been doing. The man's a hero - we've got our forum back!! 

Well Gromit if that's the case, I bow down to admins efforts, I didn't realise they had solved the problem. Everthing I tried just didn't work.

Well done to Admin, they deserve everyone's thanks.
