The Photobucket issue

Is www.the370z.com going to pay the (extortionist fees) of $399 a year so that all the photos in these highly informative posts aren't lost? I'm looking to make some modifications

I'm looking to make some modifications in the coming weeks, specifically upgrading my brake lines to SS. Pictures would really help.

Has anyone heard? Lots of information is going to be lost if the board doesn't pay.

Super wondering about this as well. It would really be a bummer to lose all the amazing pictures and work people have done to get us this info.

Better start pushing them 'the370.com' stickers hard haha.

I sure do hope so. Imgur: The most awesome images on the Internet is a great option.

Why would this site host images on a third party site anyways?

I pay ~$120 a year for my website, unlimited storage, I unlimited bandwidth. That's where my photos are stores and posted from.

It blows me away that so many businesses were using photobucket. This is probably why they set the price so high because they figure businesses will pay it. The average person was not going to pay anything anyways.

You all realize the pictures aren't truly gone just that the embedded feature doesn't work anymore, right? You can always right click the image that isn't showing up and select copy image address and paste it into a new tab.

I used photobucket for a while but in the last few years their site has gotten almost completely unusable due to ads. Do yourself a favor and move over to flickr.

Is it the forum that needs to pony up? Or is it the individual account owners who have hosted their pictures? (I'd assume the latter).

Also, no way this site pays up for something like that when this site itself will allow you to host pictures.

Did not work. Did you try it?

One option is to go into users album by clicking user name, and do a slide show to view images.

Yep. Tried it and it worked just fine. I'm using Chrome as a browser for what it's worth.

*edit: Checked a few more and it seems like some work and some don't. Not sure what the difference between them is.

Third party hosting means that we have our pictures on Photobucket (or other) site and embed an IMG code in our posts.

This forum pays to host it's own storage, including hosting photos. There are size limitations yes, but you can upload either to individual posts or an album on this site. So why the hell would AK pay some other third party site to do what he's are already paying for?

AK is a busy guy and tries to get to those requests monthly. If it's been more than a month, go ahead and PM him again and let him know how long it's been. He'll get to it eventually; the best thing to do is just be patient and polite about it. I wouldn't PM him more than every two weeks.

I'm aware of what third party hosting means and what photobucket does, maybe the OP is not since he asked if this site was going to pay? This led me to believe this site was hosting images there as well, not just users. I'm on another forum that was doing that for some.images because they just didn't know any better.

So to make matters worse the whole situation is confusing people.

Gotcha.

Ticks me off that they just up and started charging with no warning that I'm aware of.
Hate being blindsided.

Yep, I thought it was the site that would have to pay in order to allow the cross linking. I guess I'm wrong.
