That's odd. I even logged out to view the photos as a guest, and they were there. Evidently, I need to revisit my privacy settings.

My latest find is SmugMug. Though I am loathe to endorse a product during a free trial, I have been extremely impressed with the interface and customer care. They don't know me from Adam, but I have been greatly assisted by Heather, a SmugMug "support hero," via email. There is no annoying...

Hello saywhat, and welcome. Your helmet is an officer's private purchase Tschapka representing Ulanen Regiments 1 – 3. Ulans were cavalry lancers. You found a rare one. Chas

I agree with you, Lars. When I made my suggestion about culling, it was motivated by what I perceive to be countless "users" with no history of activity on the forum. I do appreciate there can be a silent majority in our midst, but, were we to attempt some sort of shared forum Photobucket...

It sounds like the perfect solution to me, Peter. With one username — "pickelhaubes," for example — and a shared password for the entire forum, all our photos could be hosted ad free under a single Photobucket subscription. Each of us could create our own album within the shared library to...

The star is upside down — look at the shadow left by the Sachsen coat of arms. :wink:

Super Bing, John. What image sharing service are you using? Chas

Hi John: It's amazing how quickly someone updates a Wikipedia article. I was reading about Photobucket ownership, and the 28 June 2017 Terms of Use fiasco has already been added to the History section. !00,000,000 users? That number is going to take a hit...

Hi John: Interesting. When I clicked on the thumbnail in the link you provided, I was able to see the full-sized photo. I'm afraid I can't answer your question regarding the upload attachment feature, but I believe it has been disabled. Your link also revealed that Bruno's (911car ) photos...

Precisely. Experienced collectors vet items on eBay (and elsewhere) to assist prospective bidders and buyers; some members buy, sell, and trade through this community; topics of discussion often quote (or provide comparable information to) costly reference books. Everyone here benefits from...

I know I can plead guilty to not making a financial contribution to keep the forum running. If there is an excuse for this, it would be that I contribute to several forums and none have asked for financial assistance. One can take things for granted. However, what I have contributed in lieu...

Hi John: SmugMug has plans starting at $3.99 per month. This includes one's own customizable website and U.S. customer support. I'm done with "free" plans that offer little or no privacy or security, and can change their terms of use at whim: Check it out: https://www.smugmug.com"...

I read through the Picorator terms of service and privacy terms. It's not for me. Though the IP for the site is in Germany, the company is Russian. After the Photobucket debacle, I don't feel comfortable surrendering personal info to Egor S Pavlikhin in the Russian Federation...

Ebeeby, be sure to read the laurenwayne.com blog article I linked in one of my comments above. Unless you upgraded to the $399.99 Plus500 yearly plan, you will soon be in the same boat as the rest of us. Chas

BTW, I canceled my Photobucket account on Friday. Unbeknownst to me, all my privacy settings had been changed to permit open access to the public — not my idea of fair play. Ironically, the account won't be closed until 2nd July, which allows PB ample time to pilfer and archive. I have every...

:(

Thank you, John. I'm certain I will be able to find a decent alternative for future photo sharing, but what is past is gone for good. I wish I had never thrown in my lot with Photobucket. :(

Joe, if you read every word I wrote above, it should be obvious this will eventually impact every member who has used Photobucket to post images on this forum. Once those photos are "locked out," what remains? A whole load of text with no illustrative context, whatsoever. I used to hear...

And cost-wise it seems like a reasonable alternative, James. However, I'm not sufficiently interested to begin at square one all over again. The fact that this conversation has only motivated three other people to comment pretty much sums it up; my photo sharing days are at an end. No one...

UPDATE: I just deleted 70 of 1280 photos and one short video uploaded to Photobucket specifically for 3rd Party Hosting. Remember, those 1280 photos accounted for 4% of my total storage, which is now only 3.8% full or 80MB. A "free" account is, as Peter stated, 2GB or 2,000MB. From...
