gagman66 Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Please note, since Photo-bucket changed their system, I have not been able to post anything from that site anymore. Nothing that I used to do works now. So how does it work? I'm desperate, because if I don't post something very soon, my site will be deemed inactive and all my current links will be broken! Hundreds of them! Please help me out here! I have been posting from GAOH mostly, with some photos from TCM CFU. I haven't used Photo-bucket at all for posting since at least November and probably longer. In December or so they introduced a new system and I have had no luck ever since. But other people are still posting obviously , so it can't be that tough to figure out. If I post the old direct link here with the two exclamation points on either side you can't see anything. The graphic just does not show up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinokima Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 1) Question is your bandwidth exceeded? 2) If not where are you getting the direct link from on photo bucket? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hlywdkjk Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Won't just uploading an image or two to your account keep it active - even if you don't post it to an outside website? Why would the act of linking to a photo be necessary to keep it active? Kyle In Hollywood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you need to keep posting in order for your account to stay active. Not sure. I managed to post a photo on another site last night,. Not here so far. But I will try the same method and see what happens. Glad to know that other people besides me were not sure what was going on with the changes in their system anymore.

gagman66 Posted February 5, 2011 Author Share Posted February 5, 2011 Obviously, that didn't work, but I don't know why? I could see the photo in the preview. Will try another method. This doesn't work either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FredCDobbs Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Looks like you have to modify their photo code a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinokima Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Well if you mean you chose a different photo...otherwise everything you did was correct. I think it should work with any photo. Try it with something that didn't work before. If you scroll over a photo on Photobucket you will see "Email & IM, Direct Link, HTML Code, & IMG Code. On this site you always want to use just the Direct Link with the exclamation points you don't need any of the extra coding (it is different on other sites. On most blogs you need the HTML Code and on other message boards you usually need the IMG Code) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinokima Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Ha Ha sorry I guess that explanation could be confusing What I meant is your link should start with http and end with jpg or gif. It should not have [img or Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks guys! > > All this modern electronic stuff is becoming more complicated all the time. I?m 68 years old, and it?s driving me nuts. I worked for 3 hours last night trying to figure out how to record an HD digital antenna channel signal onto my new VHS recorder. I kept getting a message on my TV screen that said ?Digital channels can not be recorded onto VHS tape.? Well, I finally figured out a way around it, and I managed to convert my digital antenna signal back down to analogue, and my recorder will record it now.

gagman66 Posted February 5, 2011 Author Share Posted February 5, 2011 With respect, Why would you want to use VHS? I never even used VHS much. For years I used Super VHS, before DVD recording came along. On the flip-side, I still don't have a Blu-ray player, nor showed much interest in one. And now Blu-ray recording has just recently been introduced. *Marion Davies-Lights Of Old Broadway (1925)* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredCDobbs Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 > {quote:title=gagman66 wrote:}{quote} > With respect, Why would you want to use VHS? This Panasonic makes dubs from VHS to DVD that are very high quality. I use VHS when I need to start recording early and keep recording after the movie is scheduled to be over. That way I can make a clean dub to DVD of just the film and I can cut out the extra stuff at the beginning and ending of the film. If I record every film directly to DVD, then I wind up with a lot of stuff in-between the films that I don?t want or need, and I can?t erase it from my DVD. Some films I record direct to DVD. With the long Our Gang series, I recorded a DVD for 6 hours, then a two minute pause, then 6 hours of VHS tape. That gave me 12 hours straight over night, and there was almost no advertising junk in-between the shorts. The next day I changed disks and tapes and continued the recording. If I had a DVR, I?d record on it then dub to DVD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValentineXavier Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Fred, you need to pick up that Magnavox DVD recorder with the 500GB HDD. You'd love it! I thought you once said that you were getting one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
