Re: Features & Improvements Suggestion Box

Is the order in which voters appears in polls screwy, by any chance? In a current mafia game, I'm now fairly sure that, in front of a player, I'm seeing a voter who voted second appear ahead of a voter who voted first.

Re: Features & Improvements Suggestion Box

So it seems Photobucket has switched to suck mode, because I'm seeing a lot of banners replaced with an "temporarily disabled 3rd party hosting" error pic.

The "temporarily" part seems BS, because the p500 link provided sends you to upgrade to a $399 premium plan.

I assume everyone else is seeing this as well? I checked the Hall of Fame and it is a hot mess. Not all Photobucket-hosted images - not even all coming from one account - show up broken, but I'm definitely seeing too many of them in this state.

Re: Features & Improvements Suggestion Box

Well, for the visual inconvenience, one quick temporary solution would be to go in the User Panel, Board Preferences and switch "Display signatures" to no. But long-term, if everyone using PB is getting demands to pay for an upgrade, we may have to consider switching to a new host and reuploading the pics.

Re: Features & Improvements Suggestion Box

For users who are affected by this, it is important to note that the images are not gone. They are still hosted on Photobucket, and you can actually load them right then and there by right-clicking on them and selecting "open image in new tab" or "open link in new tab" depending on the web browser that you are using. This opens the Photobucket website where the original image is displayed.

As far as alternatives are concerned, there is Imgur for instance which supports the embedding of images on third-party sites.

While members of Photobucket may wait and hope that the company reverses the stance on third-party hosted images, it is probably better to migrate the photos to another hosting service entirely.

You can download your entire library of images by selecting Library on Photobucket, and there the download album link under actions.
