Hi guys! I'm having a bit of a problem here. Here's what the forum looks like to me:  It was fine up until yesterday... I noticed that the mobile version of the forum had been set to "military" (which is the theme I use everyday), and I thought it was cool. But when I logged in this morning... I can stil see all you guys profile pics and signatures, but mine are gone, along with the board's pictures... Instead, I have an "ad" asking me to upgrade my Photobucket account and to pay $400!!!!!!! I feel something is very wrong with this. I would understand my pics being blocked for some reason, but I'm not hosting the board's pics!! I still have access to my Photobucket account and it works fine, I changed my password... Any idea?? |

Ok, so apparently, Photobucket has decided to "ransom" users to link their pics to forums and other websites... That sucks...
I managed to host my profile pic and signature on another image hosting site, but I have hundreds of gifs and pics on Photobucket, it's gonna take me ages to transfer everything...
Any of you have the same problem?

Hey Morgan...
My legs disappeared some time ago, which is why I changed to this gif. I noticed a few members lost their profile pics over the past little while and then the board lost everything yesterday. I contacted HoudiniDerek, who is the board owner, yesterday, and he was working on transferring the photos or something.
I posted about it in the loony bin, but now that I think about it, this would have been the better spot for the thread! Maybe I'll move it.
If I send you the gif of my legs, will you host it for me so I can have it back as my profile picture? I was able to save it to my computer before it went away and I miss it terribly.

Hi Sydney,
Somehow, I missed your post in the loony bin...
Of course, send me your "legs" and I'll host the gif for you. ;-)

The issue with the pictures is due to Photobucket. They changed from being a free site, where you could share your pictures and link back to your image on your album, to where you now have to pay $40/month to do so.

I am working on getting everything offloaded to a new site from Photobucket. It's taking time because there are a lot of images and some of them are not mine. I'm trying to reach Mosame as well. If anyone still talks to her, let me know.  |

Do you think in the meantime you can just delete the photo for the cascade background and have it plain? It's giving me such a headache! A solid colour would be so much more pleasing than this image!

The problem is: I did that. With no picture, it's still appearing that way. Until I can go through and work on separating it out from the entire theme, apparently it's there to stay. Ironically, the forum looks fine on my phone...not my desktop...  |

Houdini, are you able to change the look of the forum on the admin page through CCS? It may mean searching through that for anything that has Photobucket and replacing it. I've got similar experience with other sites like InvisionFree and ZetaBoards.

Houdini, are you able to change the look of the forum on the admin page through CCS? It may mean searching through that for anything that has Photobucket and replacing it. I've got similar experience with other sites like InvisionFree and ZetaBoards. Somewhat. At the moment, I figured it was easier to move everything and get images working again once I could. After that, I think I will sit down and do more involved work in the admin section. Thanks for offering, Zania! Once I get stumped, I know who I am PMing.  |
