Compo 10,186 Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 Whenever I post photos on this site they are visible to others for a day or so and then invariably, disappear. I know that others have also had problems so here's sme test pictures to see if any of the photo imaging sites that I use are better than others. First picture is saved in Google photos: Next is from Canon Irista: This one is from photobucket: And one from Flickr: Nope....can't get a flickr photo to appear at all on this page.

Cliff Ton 10,011 Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 At the moment they've all survived for 4 hours. The interesting time will come tomorrow - or later - to see if they're still there. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stuart.C 430 Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 I can see the bus stop I can see the clock, it's over 4 hrs slow now (and the minute hand is dead on a minute yet the second hand is on 37seconds, that's not right) And the Cat with 1 eye. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Compo 10,186 Posted September 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2019 I'm seeing the cat with Photobucket wrtten across it. I wonder why some see it with photobucket and some without. I simply took the url from my photobucket picture and added it via "Insert other media" button. I have not come across photobucket doing this before. I shall try it on facebook and see if it comes out with or without photobucket watermark...... watch this space. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,186 Posted September 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2019 Right. It comes out on facebook with the watermark. It looks like you have to download the image first and then post it to your site. Problem is that this site wants an image url and not an ordinary file. It seems that I can post images from photobucket as a link but that also comes out with the watermark. I think it must be all about security (Gone mad). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,186 Posted September 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2019 I give up. I shall have to download and re-upload my photobucket photos to another hosting site. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 4,422 Posted September 13, 2019 Report Share Posted September 13, 2019 Paul, if it's any consolation, I can see the pictures clearly. I am using a Samsung tabA 8"" tablet. Not that it means anything but looked all over for a watermark, ( not that I want one of course). Nice shot of the feeding bird. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,186 Posted September 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2019 I don't understant it Barrie. I can see the watermark and I didn't even put the mark there - photobucket did. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MelissaJKelly 2,080 Posted September 13, 2019 Report Share Posted September 13, 2019 I can see all the photos fine on my Samsung S8. No watermark on the photobucket images for me either 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Pianoman 1,486 Posted September 13, 2019 Report Share Posted September 13, 2019 I've got the watermark on my laptop but not on my tablet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,011 Posted September 13, 2019 Report Share Posted September 13, 2019 Getting weirder. I see the watermark on my computer (iMac) but not on my phone (Android). 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beekay 4,422 Posted September 13, 2019 Report Share Posted September 13, 2019 You have my assurance, there are no watermarks on my tablet, apart from when I dropped it in the toilet bowl !! The bird feeder has only got your name on Paul, 2012. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Originally (When I signed up) it was unlimited. I lost a lot of photos to the change. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,011 Posted September 13, 2019 Report Share Posted September 13, 2019 The same thing happened with Photobucket. They used to be free and unlimited. Then they tried to introduce charging, which didn't go down well. Then they tried to compromise and seemed to be ok. Now they've moved the goalposts again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stuart.C 430 Posted September 13, 2019 Report Share Posted September 13, 2019 I was an early supporter of P.Bucket and went to subscription when they first introduced it but closed the account when they restricted posting to Forums. They emailed for ages trying to get me back. Flickr have split with Yahoo and I couldn't transfer my login. After investigation Flickr discovered I'd previously managed to have 2 accounts on the same email address, they've closed one now. Looks like the limit is 1000 photos Quote Link to post Share on other sites
West Bridgfordian 126 Posted September 13, 2019 Report Share Posted September 13, 2019 I tried post image.org Rest of post deleted... not sure what information is shared when I posted a photo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
