Title: It appears Photobucket is back...
Post by: Duke Speedy of Leighton on 03 June 2018, 07:35:06 PM
As spotted by PaulR, Photobucket appears to be letting us see photos again,
Great news.
Until I look at some of my old photos...

It was Martin1914 using one of my old pictures that made me check :)

I won't be going back to them; once bitten, twice shy >:(

I most certainly will not be returning as I have now started afresh with flickr. It offers 1TB of free posting, and as I have so far used less than 1% it will undoubtedly see me out (unless, of course, they start messing around). I don't know why all photos can't be posted the way faceache does it, ie  you click on add photo, your photos come up, choose the one you want, it appears on faceache - no messing around with URLs (whatever they are).

It has just allowed me to find out which British ships are in my WW2 collection! ;)

"Faceache" then store (and probably analyse) a copy of your image. Which is fine for an organisation with massive server farms paid for by mass advertising. Less of an option for sites run on a shoestring and sustained by payment for, as an example, tiny lead figures. Storage is cheaper than it once was but it's still a cost.

URL (Uniform Resource Locator) is the web's equivalent of a postal address but for digital content rather than buildings.
