Well, that's it. All the images I had previously posted on Mayhem have now been replaced by an illustration saying I have broken their new terms and conditions, and thus the image intended will not be displayed.
Damned Ransomware <*<
There is no way I know to retrospectively edit every post with a new image hosted elsewhere.
What do we all think of this conduct ?
How many others are / will be affected ?
and they advertised the 'cloud' as the answer to keeping backups, the cloud was supposed to be your backup....................

definitely not, this is why the microsoft cloud keeps asking for my password at home (and it wont be given it) windows 10 will by default try and save your file to the cloud first, I dont give it that opportunity.
You believe advertising?
The cloud is/was never going to be a secure place to store anything and you are putting yourself completely in somebody else's hands if you believe that it is. They can destroy your data and there is nothing that you can do about it.
If you want file security back it up properly at home. I back up to 2 external hard drives - for when one fails - and then keep in separate places. Some will say overkill but my files matter to me.
I do have some pictures on Vimeo & various forums but that is for fun & not storage.
I also have doubts regarding security of the cloud for storing documents
definitely not, this is why the microsoft cloud keeps asking for my password at home (and it wont be given it) windows 10 will by default try and save your file to the cloud first, I dont give it that opportunity.
everything at home is backed up on a 2Tb hard drive and a further backup of important files on another 1Tb hard drive, on a different computer. if its really important it goes on a 500Mb hard drive that travels with me and is rarely plugged into a computer.
Glad to see I am not alone in having my photos in several places, especially as my little collection is topping 70,000, think I might get a bit miffed if they went missing. Incidentally C-3PO did post 2 pics in your comment for I only see one, the bridge scene and a very small icon below ?
This is ugly.
All my photos are posted as attachments directly to the site. It limits the size of the image but works just fine if you edit your photos to suit. My backup storage is all local and duplicated.
The Photos page is changing on June 30, 2017, but your pictures will stay safe in your Dropbox account. After June 30, you’ll no longer be able to create or share albums on the web, or browse photos in the current timeline view.
So looks like ALL change for images hosting!!!!

I assume this site has a set limit of image storage space that any one member can post (? Admin) if so as perhaps if a member wished to do all his MBH hosting on site a permissive fee (£10) from that member would pay for the additional storage space , perhaps up to 1 titibite ?
Couldn't agree more there are no free lunches. O0 O0 :-)) :-))for
There are already too many ruined threads on here where 'hosted' photos are no longer available. <*< <*<
There are countless examples of these so called free services that over time, after they have gained supremacy and a respectable following, charges are then implemented to continue using the so called free service.
As stated you no longer own the photo or control its use.
photobucket is not the first to do this.........................
To my mind this is a very dubious business practice. You get people addicted to the service as a freebie and then once they cannot easily leave you decide to start charging them. I seem to remember drug dealers used the same tactic.
As you say this has happened before and I expect that it will happen again if everyone starts using another "free" service. Direct posting seems to be the only answer

Photobucket has been free for many years, I've been using it for at least 10
http://uk.pcmag.com/webcom/90124/news/photobucket-breaks-image-links-across-the-internet (http://uk.pcmag.com/webcom/90124/news/photobucket-breaks-image-links-across-the-internet)
Many of us use Photobucket to store the images we use to illustrate our postings on Mayhem. There has previously not been a problem with this. Their site is free for the purpose of storing images for sharing photos.
However, I have just received notification that they have changed their terms of service to disallow "3rd Party Hosting" unless you upgrade your previously free account to one costing $99.99 a year.
Does this mean that Photobucket will now pull the plug on any "member" that links their photos on Model Boat Mayhem unless they agree to pay almost a hundred US Dollars a year for the privilege?
Most of the photos on Mayhem could suddenly disappear ?
That would be fantastic .... a forum with its own picture server .... :-))
I have absolutely no idea what this all means but does it have security/ hacker implications that can be sensibly dealt with?
I just looked this up regarding Paint shop pro7, which is Bob's image manipulating program, and people suggest that it has issues with Windows 10 suggesting that your attempts at attaching images may stem from this friction..
Interesting ... On another forum (for model engineering) PB is saying it is $300.00 per year to get the pics back.
Questions: To those who have been able to upload an image direct on a Mayhem post ...
- How long after Saving do you get to be able to Modify the post. I think it is only ten minutes.
ie: If you transfer the image/s successfully, how long to you get to compose a large amount of text to go in between the image/s. -
- Can this be extended as I normally compose everything in Word, pasting in the image links, then copy/pasting it all into the Mayhem dialogue box, Preview to check everything OK + any edits, then clicking Post last.
Thanks Martin. I was not sure how long we got for editing.
Not wanting to burden you with everyone loading their images direct, but I would ask Members to consider this when making donations to keep Mayhem running. We all need to up our ante a bit.
In US Dollars SmugMug is 3.95 pm, or $47 pa. No mention of VAT (so far). Seems reasonable at approx. 35 Quid.
My pictures show in preview and immediately always. I use SmugMug you get what you pay for.
Over around the last ten years I've posted thousands of pictures on various forums but when I die they will all disappear unless the subscription is renewed {-)
I've email SmugMug to see if they do a Forum interface......

Check it out I'm sure he can help
On that forum I can upload very large picture files direct from my phone camera as well as photo library so I have no need to host them myself
I wonder if there has been some big court case where a photo sharing company got in trouble for unknowingly host illegal photos or the like.....? {:-{
I joined SmugMug because at the time they backed up everything in 3 different servers in three different states. I'm sure that has not been degraded
I simply can't understand this. %%
1/ Photobucket has been around for years, for free - or nearly free.
2/ Maybe a few users were 3rd-partying images to hugely popular websites. Most users, probably, had simply backed-up pictures of their cat.
3/ At a meeting the Men In Suits decided to make money because of this 3rd-partying.
4/ As a result, every user, without warning, was effectively sent a bill for $399 per annum.
5/ Chunks of the internet (Photobucket photographs on blogs and forums) break.
Did no-one at that meeting have the nerve to investigate or question the likely outcome?
At what point did the Men In Suits think this was a viable business proposal? The backlash has been obvious, and immense.
Users, many of them, have stated they would have paid 'a reasonable rate' for server space and bandwidth. Who decided $399 a year was realistic?
Putting on my finest tin-foil hat (https://illuminaughtyboutique.files.wordpress.com/2014/04/tin-baseball.jpg?w=646&h=534), this almost reads as if Photobucket is sick of the work it did, and has decided to leave the industry. I see that the company is privately owned, after Fox sold it out to a Seattle-based company a few years ago, so there's no way to see their shares free-fall, but there is no future for them. They've got two options:
A/ Fold.
B/ Back down - with the potential threat that they'll do this again.
In either option their user base are legging it. No-one would seriously put in an offer, any offer, to take this company over.
It is, by any rational investigation, an insane move.
Andy
..................................... There is an opportunity for a company to offer easy transfer of pictures stored on Photobucket to a new free service.
How would that "easy transfer" work? If it would work then all Forums could "transfer" their missing images.
Why are you convinced that SmugMug won't do exactly what Photobucket have done - particularly if they suddenly get an enormous number of forum photos which are accessed frequently?
Because that is what they are in the business of doing and why I pay
There are around 10 thousand pictures of mine being accessed all the time
It's not insane at all ... If you have a problem with someone trying to make money ...
We've got, what, about 500,000 posts on the forum?
The allowed attachments limit is 3000KB per post.
Luckily for Martin, most posts are image-free, or use(d) 3rd party linking - out of interest what size is the forum, Martin? Is there a possibility for image hosting without zooming through terabyte amounts of server space?
Andy
Photos are best kept in an album
Not a bucket :D :D :D
Couldn't resist it 8)
Ned
Nice one Andy :-))Battery up my jacksie {-)

Ned
Good points
For my view SmugMug are a family business started in 2002 and always charged.
So they have a sustainable business model evident by 15yrs of service of which I've benefitted for more than 10
That's good and thus the whole issue is not of concern to yourself {-)
thank you.........is that the Humber bridge........magnificent construction, as is the Firth of Forth bridge too.

I wonder if Photobucket need to raise some revenue, fast, real fast?
If so 1% of "100 million registered members" x $399 = £WadsofCash!

We should be very careful what we ask Martin for. He already spends a great deal of his time and resources giving us this valuable forum, which is free. Photobucket kicked the bucket, without warning. It could equally well have been SmugMug or any of the others, which always could follow suit in the future if they think Photobucket is making more money.
Before asking Martin for additional resources, are we all prepared to help him fund it? Can some of us even help him administer it, at least the photo hosting part?
I believe we should all up the ante in our annual donations. Perhaps for a special Gold Star on our profile to encourage greater support.
It is just not practical to repair many thousands of 'lost' images on previous posts, but we can take collective steps to safeguard this problem happening again. Most of what I have learned about model making in the last six years has come from the many fascinating build threads (with thier oh-so-necessary images ) and the deeply appreciated help and encouragement from other Mayhem members.
We owe it to the next generation of up and coming Modellers to support and assist this excellent forum.
But why wait ? Why not get the ball rolling now and build up a head of steam for what I am sure is going to be the best solution
Your thinking is fundamentally wrong, for you should all be storing your data (images etc) on your own media and only uploading images to the forum as required, thus retaining your images and copyright etc on your own hard drives (or SSD's) which today are cheap.
I have just been on the Linux forum and I see that they have within the last month made it even easier for members to upload photos to their posts because now, when you write a post there is at the bottom of the page a line saying ''insert image'' and all you have to do now is click and drag from your own computer (or put in a URL).
Martin has said that Mayhem consumes 15Gb of server space and that to include all the externally sourced photos would effectively double that.
Whilst I know that this is a big leap of faith I am guessing that if we reduced the maximum photo size from 300kb per image to 200kb it would mean that the new posts with photos maintained on the server would take little more room than the current system where half the photos are here – at a maximum of 300kb per image - & half are held elsewhere.
I thought that I would see what a 200kb photo looked like.
The original of the photo below (I am sure that it would work just the same for a model boat photo!) is 5147 x 2554 and was taken on a 20Mb camera. I have resized it to 1250 x 620 and set the image quality at 60 in Irfanview. This gives us an image size of 176kb.
Is this not good enough for the forum and it would potentially help with the extra number of files stored if they were all to be stored in house.
I would be happy to see what I can do with any size (pixel count or file size) that Martin cares to suggest.
At the moment, you can only post photos into posts.
would that need to change? I understand the magnitude of the photobucket failure, but modelboatmayhem should not try to be a replacement photobucket, photos uploaded to modelboatmayhem only can sit here if they belong to a post here. I agree that allowing anyone to simply upload an image is rife with possible problems.. I understand that not everyone will agree with this, since basically photobucket etal allowed you to post pictures once, and share them everywhere, but lets face it, that seems to be one feature you should not allow... basically if you want to post to dozens of model boat sites, and do it for free, you will have to post everywhere. if you want to post to dozens of model boat sites, and upload photos once, you will have to find a reputable free sharing/hosting site, or pay.

Martin - looks an interesting product - if your evaluation is successful would be worth appealing to Mayhem members for donations and going for the $68 version (£53)?
I presume you are thinking of hosting on the same server as Mayhem?
C-3PO
Ok, openupload.php and change this:
PHP: $to_resize = $_POST['resize']; To this:
PHP: $to_resize = 300; Where 300 is the desired forced width.
Now, open content/themes/Peafowl/index.php and remove this:
HTML:<div id="resizing"> <div id="resizing-switch"><div><a><span><?php show_lang_txt('txt_resizing'); ?></span> <?php show_lang_txt('txt_resizing_explained'); ?></div></div> <div id="resizing-box"> <div id="resizing-it"> <div id="resize-width"><?php show_lang_txt('txt_resizing_width'); ?> <span><?php show_lang_txt('txt_resizing_pixels'); ?></span></div> <input type="text" id="resize" name="resize"/><div id="resize-keep">*<?php show_lang_txt('txt_resizing_keep'); ?></div> </div> </div> </div>
Everyone with Photobucket account can still access their photos, we'll just have to work out a way to transfer/move/
giggery-poky them back to the correct posts!
2) how does this help with the 3rd party image holder problem? Would all image posts be held as part of this rather than a 3rd party like Photobucket?
3) For those who currently hold their images with 3rd parties & then link what happens?
That sounds like unimaginable hours of hand editing. I doubt if that will be possible, but if it can be achieved I would supply your chocolate bisquits for life !!!!
I would suggest that if you could upload your images with the original file name to a new on-line storage solution then either using server redirects or just amending the Mayhem database ( change the reference where the image is located) with a set of replace this with that using SQL ( which takes seconds ) would allow for a heavy demand on the chocolate biscuit supply :)
C-3PO
I guess it would be neat to have a "guinea pig" to try out/ document switch over process - maybe you would be up for that Bob assuming Martin agrees
C-3PO
I think a working solution is achievable ...to be able to explain it in detail would require the solution to be ready to use.
I think the solution will involve some work from the individual - that might be a case of uploading images to a new server and then some work from Martin's HQ side to wave a magic wand and re index the images in the Mayhem database. This would be done using SQL ( Structured Query Language) which is the tool you use to manage data in a database.
So trying to show what I am talking about - picture (excuse the pun) a database containing 100,000,000 records each with the word "there" and you want to change that all to "their" - you would create a script that updates all occurrences of there to their - run the script and all would be changed - the execution time would be a few tens of seconds to achieve this.
So imagine that a photo link stored in the Mayhem database for user "A" is http://s1143.photobucket.com/user/bobkiralfy/media/K%20Class/hull-join-2_zpsjbkiygdz.jpg.html (http://s1143.photobucket.com/user/bobkiralfy/media/K%20Class/hull-join-2_zpsjbkiygdz.jpg.html)
and you want it to be http://newimagestore.co.uk/user/bobkiralfy/media/KClass/hull-join-2.jpg (http://newimagestore.co.uk/user/bobkiralfy/media/KClass/hull-join-2.jpg) you write the code to get the new URL and use SQL to update the record in the database to allow the post to retrieve the image from the new storage location. This could be run on tens of thousands of database records in seconds, only happens once to change the url for the image in the database.
The involvement of the owner of the images would not require them to understand anything technical that I am talking about - that side of things would be done for you by Martin running a script.
I also think that you may be able to disregard all I am typing as I think it's highly likely that images hosts - especially the one Marin is looking at will come up with an application to get the images out of Photobucket and stored nice and safe somewhere else and then with some clever jiggery pokey with a scripting language on the web server hey presto your images appear.
So I would suggest the future is bright - just that it's a moving target so it's difficult to be certain until some stakes are driven into the ground with a new solution.
Hope that answered your questions - these are my thoughts not Martin's so don't blame him if it doesn't work out.

..................................................I don't use PB but one of my concerns is that due to their disgusting behaviour they go out of business very quickly and close down their servers before folks can access PB and sort out which photos are posted where and on what forums...............................
Can users tell from PB which photo is posted where? That would make partially sorting this out a little less difficult.
Does Mayhem need image owners participation to either achieve a recovery or to comply with copyright issues?
Can users tell from PB which photo is posted where? That would make partially sorting this out a little less difficult.
I do not see why they will go out of business quickly because of this. They were not getting paid to host the pictures & they still are not. I still suspect that they simply don't want customers who use them to host pictures for use on forums as they never got much advertising income from those users. I don't know what percentage of their users would be at all concerned by this but presumably they do and I guess that it was important in them making their decision.
Like many of their ilk a significant amount of their income is from adverts and is dependant on the number of users.
PB have upset many of their customers, including many who use it for photos for selling on Amazon and EBay and from what I'm reading there is quite a backlash. Therefore number of users could drop dramatically as a result of their actions and reputation going down the pan and hence their revenue from adverts. We shall see.
Anyone who has uploaded to Photobucket should still have copies of their pix on their home PCs surely?
Colin
If people don't bother to take backups and choose to rely upon 'free' cloud services then they are inevitably going to become unstuck at some point.
..........................plus all important photos such as holiday ones are copied to CD as well..................................
Paranoid moi?
Colin
BTW: We are making good progress with our own 'in house' image server.
It's already up and running.... sort of, just setting up security, admin.... stuff like that. :-)
Just tried following Martin's recommendation and downloading my albums from PB. I clicked the "Download album" command and a window appears apparently preparing the album for download. I then get an e-mail saying the album is ready for download with a "Download" button to click. I click on it, it takes me to the PB site - and a message saying "This download is no longer available"! Perhaps they are already denying users the right to get their own photos back? >>:-( >>:-(
No big deal, I do have all the originals, and if Martin cracks the MBM hosting site I will try and reconstruct the build logs. But in future I will probably attach directly to the message as I have worked that out now.
A plague on the operators of PB! I hope they end up really miserable.
Greg
Sadly, the reality is that they are probably laughing all the way to the Bank.
We will never know how many nor how much was actually paid.
The bigger fish, such as Amazon, fleabay, etc, etc, would have made commercial decisions and paid up.
Yes I agree the only bucket that worries me is the one I kick one day?? but hopefully (NOT YET) as the man said in the last frames of (Gladiator Film)? Boating is the way to go :-)) :-)) %% %% >>:-( :police: :police:

I'm a member of the Flory Models scale modelling forum and they made the decision to temporarily enable editing of any of your previous posts so if people wanted they could go back through and reupload photos.
We did contempalte that but for safety / continuinty / the 'Great Forum crash of 2012?*', we've desided to go a different route.
We'll be asking Mayhemers to use (http://www.modelboatmayhem.co.uk/forum/Themes/core/images/buttons/quote.gif) Quote (copy and paste) from their old posts ammend them and the Mods will reincert them back into the original posts.

That's still $120 per year, as I read it, if you want linking.
I've been paying $29 a year since 2005 to Photobucket for over 7000 photos and my linking hasn't been affected, it's a grandfathered deal on a plan they dont even offer anymore. You don't get somethin for nothin lol.
..... I've found out that there are plugins for Chrome and Firefox to circumvent the Photobucket restriction.
If you install it in your browser, you should be able to see again the pictures that were blocked when Photobucket made its 'changes'.The links to the plugins are -Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fir...ix/?src=searchChrome (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fir...ix/?src=searchChrome): https://chrome.google.com/webstore/d...flicjjgj?hl=en (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/d...flicjjgj?hl=en)
Sorry guys, but I don't get it. Are we saying that in order to get our Photobucket images back we have to switch from Internet Explorer to either Firefox or (?), then find an obscure plug-in for it?Firefox plus the plugin is presumably just a tool to recover the images. Once the images are recovered and safely stored where photobucket can no longer hold them to ransom, Firefox can be dispensed with. Most PCs have an "uninstall" feature, and are quite capable of having more than one browser installed at any time.
I don't like Firefox as a browser, and even if some went to this then maybe only 5% of users could see the blocked images. For all to see them we need a more universal solution, short of expecting Martin to do months of hand editing.
Martin did briefly have an alternate version running with a new photo-uploading tool, but that has now gone.
PS: I know exactly what images I have had destroyed, and exactly which threads and Post number for each.
However, counting them up there are far too many to expect anyone else to edit. Is there any way we could be sent a compiled thread, so we could edit it and submit it back?
I just use an XP powertool image resizer, just right click the image and click resize, and a dialog box pops up, and saves the image as " image name (small)" in the same folder, it has worked since xp and still works in windows 10.
Dear Mods,

OUR FORUM IS BEING MONITORED !
The same day as my previous post within a few hours I received out of the blue Two promotional emails from Phtobucket inviting me take up their new subscription service. Now that is creepy, OK their software may have flagged up that I have not used them since their mega debacle and corporate suicide of 6 months ago but how did they link my email address to a critical posting on this forum ?
Anyone else experienced this ?

browser.
I clicked everything but no improvement. "Save picture as" just saves the Photobucket image below.
I went to your link last night and could see the pictures.
Back again, anorak to the death.
I am on Windows 7 and using Chrome. The scenario I described used this setup.
I read and replied to Tug Fanatic's post from my Iphone.
Back on my laptop (rebooted) I could still see the photographs instead of the ransom note but after I cleared my cache I was back to square one with the ransom note. The fix obviously works for me while the image is still in my cache.
All mildly interesting but not of any practical use if I am the only person on Mayhem who can see the images in the post and am willing to keep a huge picture cache.

I briefly tried to find a posting where the photos didn't appear...and I can't find one!
I'm going to give up now.

photos had gone.

Well, whadya know?! My pictures are all back as well, on my Android tablet so no special fixes in place. Perhaps the powers that be at Photobucket realised the mess they had made and have tried to rectify things. But I can't bring myself to thank them, and I certainly won't be using PB again <*<Only Temporary for a limited by the looks of things.
