is anyone else having troubles posting pictures. I am trying to do an image upload like I always do but I keep getting a "the page cannot be displayed" message on the upload page. Everything else seems to be working fine.


is it just me?

It is not just you. Get a free account at Photobucket and post the IMG code here. It works great.

I can always put the pics up on a temp page on my website. I just wondered if this was a bigger problem.

I did that too. If you want to show them here, you can the submission web form. Use the second button from the right -- next to the image upload button with the arrow -- to enter the link to the images on your site.

It is in my best interest to help you post images.

Josh, just so you know, the OLF was hacked a while back and the hacker apparently broke the picture upload function. That's why you need to link to them instead of uploading them directly.

So if I don't have a web site I'm "buggered" so to speak?
Just tried to send picture on another subject.

Rick, you can get a free account at photobucket and load them there, then use the "link to picture feature" to get them to show up on the forum.

Boy, I thought it was me! Tried to load a photo Saturday night and nothing(this was my first time). Right after that the site went down!! I thought I did it!
I'm not too keen on sending my photos to another site-then retrieving them. Will we be able to do it the old way later on?

Dave

Dave, they are working on getting the pic upload feature fixed. It will be back, just don't know when.

Terry, I don't know about getting spam from registering for photobucket. I just put pics up on my website and link to them there. I just gave photobucket as an option for those that don't have a website.

[QUOTE=terken] How much e mail spam are you in for if you get a "free account" at
Photobucket and give them your address?

Just open a throwaway yahoo or hotmail account. If you don't use it for anything else, all the spam in the world won't be a bother.
