Cuizer2 Posted July 25, 2017 #26 Share Posted July 25, 2017 (edited) Help!!! As you know, photobucket is now holding everyone's photos hostage until you pay $500 to them, so I re-downloaded photos to amazon prime photos. I can't figure out how to get them on the post!! The script is too big and I only see a small box. Here is an example: https://www.amazon.com/photos/share/ V2cujS5nmV8J76Yo9NZLkEtjWCc5ueibbCbJH99FgS9 I tried doing all sorts of thing with what you posted, and I cannot make it work. Here is the script for the photo above with the two girls ... https://content-na.drive.amazonaws.com/cdproxy/templink/3f5eWmN6XRaVI3syx8W8pd0PqDEuGwIza_tnYOoF3wIpX92IB?viewBox=1200%2C675 When put into the popup box, this is the result ... So it does work. Are you sure you are getting the correct script? Edited July 25, 2017 by Cuizer2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare pierces Posted July 25, 2017 #27 Share Posted July 25, 2017 However, your script does not appear to be correct. Note the "http://" at the beginning of my script and the ".jpg" at the end. Your picture has a unique URL, thus the need for the "http://" and software needs to know what kind of picture it is, thus the need for the ".jpg" at the end (it does not need to .jpg, it could be .tif or any photograph format that the software will recognize). In the case of the Amazon address, I did a little experimenting and the code for my photos above contains no easily discernible (though it's buried in there) file type, only a display frame measurement. Trust Amazon to do something different.

I tried fooling around with spleenstomper's script, but I couldn't get it to work, so I gave up. I really liked Photobucket's slide show. It allowed me to post a lot more photos in my review (cause adding the photos one at a time into the review was slow and boring). So I'll have to fine a replacement prior to Thanksgiving so I can post photos from my next cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuizer2 Posted July 25, 2017 #29 Share Posted July 25, 2017 I don't pay for extra storage. Just what is included with my Prime. Could be the difference.Edit: display the image, right-click on it and "Copy Image Address" via the Chrome pop-up menu. Live and learn.... Dave Your name seemed familiar and I finally placed it. As I recall, a while back, you posted some fantastic photos and we ended up having a short back and forth regarding picture taking. One of the things I was doing was stitching several photos together to make one long panoramic photo. I don't do that as much any more, since I now have a DSLR (DX format) with an 11 - 16 zoom. Set at eleven I can get an entire cruise ship cabin in one photo while standing inside the door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ended up with a bigger picture, except it is upside down. Are you posting from Australia, or was the picture taken near Australia? But now I know it is a Carnival ship.

Loonbeam Posted July 27, 2017 #45 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Coming in a bit late, but Smugmug is $99 per year and allows unlimited linking (with stats) and unlimited storage. I think the $4 per month version allows it too. I use the Power version because I have to restrict views of certain galleries.... https://www.smugmug.com/features I can get a referral credit if anyone is interested (Full disclosure) - just email me at panamacanal@pamandjeff.net and I will send you a link...

EM Yes, I'm not sure how Photobucket will react if too many people quit. If more than ten quit for ever new one who is paying $400 per year, I think that Photobucket might end up losing even more money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you like Smugmug? That's the direction I'm leaning right now. Probably will sign up for a trial this weekend, and if I'm OK, look at the Power version for the control features. "Supposedly" they have a Firefox based tool (have to install Firefox again for at least a few minutes...) to migrate your Photobucket gallery to their site. Eventually, I still end up breaking 11 years worth of links across the web, but... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
