MargieH 7,600 Posted July 7, 2017 Report Share Posted July 7, 2017 I risked going to photobucket (despite my nasty little experience a few days ago when I wasn't allowed to leave the site) so that I could delete my account as Catfan suggested, but as soon as I did, a box came up asking if I wanted to upgrade to advert-free. I couldn't get rid of the box - it didn't respond to clicking on the 'X' so I had to exit photobucket. I tried twice, but can't be bothered anymore. I don't have that many photos in there anyway....

catfan 14,793 Posted July 7, 2017 Report Share Posted July 7, 2017 I don't get any ads or pop-ups Margie, install something like this (free) http://www.macworld.co.uk/how-to/iosapps/how-block-ads-on-iphone-ipad-3627089/ Available for IOS too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chulla 4,946 Posted July 7, 2017 Report Share Posted July 7, 2017 Yes carni. I am staying with PB, but only as a storage facility. It looks like all of my 303 images are still in PB library. This is because they are all my own jpegs - nothing has been imported from another site/forum. However, I will just leave them there without adding to them, so that all of my image postings on NS remain.If PB does remove them then too bad - I won't cry, they have done their job. Just leave them in PB, carni. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MargieH 7,600 Posted July 7, 2017 Report Share Posted July 7, 2017 Catfan, I've just tried to install the free ad blocker app but it says it isn't compatible with this device! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I will probably just delete the account. I'm keeping mine but not doing anything with it. So that if or when PB do back-track or modify their decision, your account could still be working. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
catfan 14,793 Posted July 7, 2017 Report Share Posted July 7, 2017 #169. What is your device Margie ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
catfan 14,793 Posted July 7, 2017 Report Share Posted July 7, 2017 #170. I don't want any part of a company that tries worldwide blackmail, there are many other free hosting sites around. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,464 Posted July 7, 2017 Report Share Posted July 7, 2017 I agree. Part of me hopes PB suffer to the extent that they go out of business. But if they do disappear, there are almost literally millions of innocent people all over the world whose businesses and activities have been wrecked by PB's actions. So if PB back-track and continue to operate, all those people will at least be able to continue doing whatever they did - which won't be possible if PB go under. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
taxi ray 170 Posted July 7, 2017 Report Share Posted July 7, 2017 I read that a lot of people selling on ebay and amazon are having trouble due to using photobucket. I have only used photobucket, to put pictures onto this site. If it was easier to put pictures onto this site I would have added a lot more. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jill Sparrow 10,305 Posted July 7, 2017 Report Share Posted July 7, 2017 It's taken me ages but I've finally managed to post an image! Meet Lily Millie, our latest rescue cat! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 10,305 Posted July 7, 2017 Report Share Posted July 7, 2017 url=https://postimg.org/image/4gmzifayr/][/url] This is what she looked like when she first arrived. Starving, matted fur, covered in fleas and pregnant. She's said goodbye to all that. Life's now one long purr! 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,507 Posted July 7, 2017 Report Share Posted July 7, 2017 Well done Jill, quite an achievement, I bet you're really chuffed! Nice cats too, even though I'm not a cat lover. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MargieH 7,600 Posted July 8, 2017 Report Share Posted July 8, 2017 Lily Millie is a beautiful cat - bet she needs a lot of grooming, though. Our two are shedding huge lumps of hair in this warm weather, despite being combed whenever they come near me. I keep the comb handy!! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 10,305 Posted July 8, 2017 Report Share Posted July 8, 2017 There are 6 long haired cats down at cat rescue. We call them the long haired layabouts! All are brushed every day. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted July 8, 2017 Report Share Posted July 8, 2017 Marvellous what a bit of TLC can do Jill. She looks like a different cat in the two pictures. Lily Millie, I love her name. As you say her life will be one long well deserved purr from now on. Thanks to all who have cared for her. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

catfan 14,793 Posted July 8, 2017 Report Share Posted July 8, 2017 Test. Copied & pasted from PI & this time copied the fifth option down. "Thumbnails for forums" Clicking on the picture shows it full size. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jill Sparrow 10,305 Posted July 8, 2017 Report Share Posted July 8, 2017 Just trying this. My sister, Julie, on the right and her best friend Su Pollard late 1960s, probably taken in the Green Room of the Cooperative Arts Theatre. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NewBasfordlad 3,599 Posted July 8, 2017 Report Share Posted July 8, 2017 Tell me Jill did your sister know Drew Pink? He and Su where very close at one stage and I know he helped out at the Arts Theatre. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
