    The server has plenty of space to host pictures, it's something we have already planned for on the new software.

    Likewise :(

    I'd noticed the spam slowing things massively, probably been bought out

    Guy's, sadly It's nothing to do with space.

    Eddie, Look at your Megasquirt your mk2 thread. All images gone.

    Eventually they'll do the same to everyone's account. They are just working through the high bandwidth ones first .

    I will have a good look when I am home.
    I have space in my account and had no email.
    I hope it is some kind of bug.
    Exactly what we all do not need on a bloody forum!

    I know.:(

    They've set a bandwidth limit and once you pass it, that's it. It doesn't reset at the end of the month either.

    The more photos you have, the sooner it'll happen but eventually all the threads with Photobucket links will be the same [:x]

    The pictures in my Tig welding thread were down they are back since I paid 99.99 though the one in my sig for the club sales facebook page is still down
    It's on 9 thousandth posts I doubt they can till the difference a linked post and a third party hosting other than bandwidth so I'm only buying my self some time I guess

    They want 400 from me time to abandon unfortunately

    I have messaged them but honestly what is that going to do, I said I didn't agree to those t&c's to start with and believe it's blackmail

    I use IMGUR.com. Free, works great for me.

    Although, that's going to take a long time to fix!!

    Can the tech savvy boys recommend a suitable hoist and post a help thread for all us numpties , please .
    Took me ages to suss photobucket and then I forgot my password and it links to an email I can't acces [:x]

    Anyway guidance from you guys in the know would be appreciated and maybe help encourage members to sort out their own threads if possible .

    I know this is going to cause lots of problems hence my quick posting of thread when noticed it .

    Regards to all you admin and tech guys who are stressing over this problem and I realise this could be a major blow for a lot of our clubs archive .
