First...your pic and forum avatar are broken image links to me...

[spongemonkey]

I dont see his avatar, but his pic works for me.

See below...   I dunno what link you are grabbing, but it has 'i1043.' at the beginning which I have never seen before.

When I open your image in a new tab...  Its literally a 1043 error page.

Sorry LC. I got busy researching something and just came up for air. Looking at the PB site, this is the address it goes to when I hit my PB icon. Everything has that s1043 or i1043 in front of it.

The email & IM, HTML, and IMG tabs all have the s1043. The Direct tab has the i1043. Hmmm...my images all work here and "other" places? When I click on any of the above links, I go directly to the site, or pic. What can I try?

PS, you can't see the pic of the old white station wagon I posted earlier today?

I don't see any of you pics unless it's just the link with no tags and I click on it.   Something with that i1043 is not allowing img tags to display it in forum.  I bet you this is their way of saving bandwidth by 'allowing' them to be linked but not actually display them on third party sites. 

That's messed up man.

Welp...  Now we know what $400 will get ya!

spongemonkey, You can see my pics on here? What photo hosting site are you using? This is weird and getting weirder. So, I can see my pics but you guys can't?

This is a link on the "other" site that works now, and that I posted in Dec, 2014. It has the same i1043 prefix and hasn't been changed since I posted it in 2014. Can you see it?

When I click on it, it goes right to the pic. I remember that 1043 being there for a long time, now. ??

This time, I used the "Insert Hyperlink" tab to load it onto this page. Does that make any difference in seeing it?

Can't even see that one when clicking in it.

Yep, saw the white Chrysler wagon.  And saw this photo of the green ammo pouch after I had to disable my ad blocker to see it.  Still dont see your avatar.  Right now using tinypic but going to move to something else like http://imgbb.com/.

Same as everybody else FC, i click on the link and i get taken to your PB library page, but no image ever shows up, just tons of ads.   

[firstchoice]

Is there a way of taking the "private" off the individual pics, without making the whole album "public"? I don't understand this because my links havn't changed. I have checked many of my old posts, on various other sites. Nothing in the links have changed. My privacy setting have always been set like they are now. Obviously, something is different. Just trying to figure out what.

Well, my feeling of "Yay, it works again" is waning. Sorry guys, I thought it was better.

I can see your car pic, but not your avatar pic.

The night you posted, they were both broken image links. A few hours later, I was able to see the car pic, and the avatar pic comes up with the "photos not found" photobucket image.

[Loose}{Cannon]

I can see the white wagon now.... no avatar. 

Maybe use the new upload feature? 

[Loose}{Cannon]

AK ...  I uploaded the avatar pic to sksfiles server for you since PB is apparently being flakey. 

Now if we can only get that PS guy to replace his, we may survive.   

[firstchoice]

Thanks LC!  Good to know you guys can see the pics now.  Man, I didn't think to try the new upload feature!

Okay, good to know. Thanks, spongemonkey! Yeah, PB likes their ads. I don't even notice them anymore. Well, I've got a year to figure this mess out. (maybe? we'll see) I think I'll be less apt to upload anything to PB now, though. If they're going to try to hit me for $400 next year, why waste the time uploading much else to them? I kinda doubt they'll be around that long, though. I think everything I've uploaded has been from my hard drive and It's all still there. I mean, what could happen?    At one point, I started backing up all the photos on my hard drive to PB. That's when I ran out of "free space" and became a paying member (Plus20). Now, I'm thinking my backup needs a backup plan.

Just a quick, final test. And then I'll shut up and go away. 












I used the "upload image to post" this time. Are these seen by everyone?

LC, I see something flashing by on that screen about signing up for an account and signing in? Is it something we need to do for use?

Edit:
Crap, I just looked back through this thread and answered my own question.

LC's quote:
I suggest you guys look at imgbb....  You can make all the folders you want, it generates more links then you know what to do with, you can copy all links to all pics within a folder at once and paste, when you copy a link individually it auto adds the img tags when pasting, and there are several levels of public/privacy.

Actually sign up... Dont to the upload without signing up... That just gives you a one time link for that pic and you don't ever come back to it.  Sign up

They also have a SMF mod for the boards to utilize attachments... Have to look into
