Use imgur.com instead of photobucket guys...
« on: July 25, 2017, 11:02:45 PM »
Like mentioned before photo bucket has gone caput.... use picresize.com to resize then host them for FREE on   imgur.com

There are tutorials on the Web

I have always just used Microsoft paint to resize my pictures. But tried out picresize.com and found it very easy and quick. Really should not need any tutorials at all. Thanks for sharing!

Didn't know about Imgur

I ended up using Flickr.   It is also free and (if I can do it, then obviously) easy to use.....

Also........ To any and all who are interested, I started a Flickr group for turkey call pictures since there wasn't one.  Already have one OG member joined in and sharing some great pics.   Would LOVE to build a nice community of like-minded folk and compile a CRAP LOAD of pictures of all things turkey calls and related.   Give a guy somewhere to share his prized calls/photos and give another guy something to look through during the off season.

Hope yinz will consider joining in with us !!!

Here's a link that should get you started:

Forums like pondboss and the refuge forums make it easy to just attach a photo to your post. What about something like that on this forum.

 I think you just click the photo you want , than the same photo pops up with the different codes, than you click the bbc code.

I tried Imgur, haven't given up on it yet. I divide my photos into separate albums for ease of finding the pic I'm looking for. When I did that on Imgur, I would upload pics into an album. Then upload more pics into another album, and so on. Then when I checked the albums, they all had the exact same pics in them, from whatever I uploaded last. I contacted their tech support who finally got it worked out. Then I tried uploading multiple pics at the same time and Imgur snafu'ed again. So now I'm loading 6 pics at a time. It's a pain in the posterior, but I gotta get away from Photobucket.

I don't have many pics in Photobucket, but I can't get them out.  Download Album doesn't work in multiple tries.  Any tips on how to get 'em back?

Download Album didn't work for me either.  I had to display each image individually, and then select Download under Options.

This is what I had to do also....one pic at a time.

Now this may sound stupid(not calling you stupid), but make sure you are signed in. Until recently I was automatically signed in when I went to Photobucket. Now I have to sign in each time I go there if I want to do something with my pics.

 :TrainWreck1:  I did re-log in and still no go.   Will try the single pic download route.  Glad I don't have a whole bunch.  Thanks for the info.

Edit to add:  I got them all downloaded by doing one at a time as suggested.  Goodbye Photobucket!

    I looked into Tinypics and if I remember right they are a Photobucket company. How long before they start charging for 3rd party sharing?
