Any Other Website Besides Photo Bucket?

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 ...

When put into the popup box, this is the result ...

So it does work. Are you sure you are getting the correct script?

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.

You can even play with the viewBox setting in the script - here I changed it to viewBox=736%2C207 from viewBox=736%2C414:

All I had to do for the script is double-click the image into view mode, right-click to get the Chrome context menu and choose Copy Image Address:

Yes I noticed that and corrected my post while you were posting. 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.

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....

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.

I'm on my ipad, which may be a source of the problem. Thanks for trying!

I don't have access to any Apple products other than the one pictured below:

After many years, I finally found a use for them! :)

On a serious note, my son will be out here in a couple of weeks and I'll be able to try a few things on his iPad. (Unless he drops it in the water too, in which case I'll have a snack tray to match my coaster!) I'll post if I find a way.

A thought...Are you using the Amazon Prime Photos App or Safari?

Your link shows a ship in the water. Unfortunately it is too small for me to determine which cruise line.

I don't have access to any Apple products other than the one pictured below:

Have you tried the grocery store? They have lots of apple products at very reasonable prices.

I don't use apps, but I just got a 128 gig iphone 7 plus, so maybe I need to start downloading apps.

I appreciate your time and effort. I will try some apps and see what happens

Okay, I tried the download link in next to the picture linked to above. 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.

Lol. No. I am in the US. The pic was taken in either roatan or belize

I went to the link Cruizer2 posted

Right-clicked on the image (not the download link)

Chose "copy link address"

Pasted the address into the address bar,

Went to the address which was the normal non-download view with the black background

Right-clicked on the image and chose "Copy Image Address:

And...

Try downloading the Google Chrome browser for IOS...?

Dream class ship, looks like tendering in Belize. EM

Test

I call this "Sleeping Giant".

Cool. " Copy image location" on firefox. Are you using the mountain - insert image link - on CC? I couldn't paste directly, I had to use that.

That is correct. You don't paste directly, you should use the little yellow mountain icon.

I wrote to Photobucket and explained I was not willing to pay $400 per year just to be able to post on a third party site. Many sites will allow such posting for 1/3 or even 1/4 of that or less. Here is the reply I received ...

Hello!

Based on our Terms of Use, as a valued Plus member you will continue to have 3rd Party Hosting capabilities until December 31, 2018 with your current Plus subscription as long as you maintain your account.

After December 31, 2018 we ask that you please upgrade your account to the Plus 500 subscription plan. If you upgrade your account to our Plus 500 subscription before that date, please email us at plus@photobucket.com so that we can ensure uninterrupted 3rd Party Hosting capabilities.

Thank you,

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....

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...

By this time next year, they may have revised their fee structure...But they have lost me. I am securely with Shutterfly now. 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.

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...

flickr.com still allows linking with free accounts, and they're only $50 a year to upgrade to Pro. Not had any problems so far.

I agree, I have used flickr for years and have never had any issues.
