Title: Step by steps?
Post by: Mike Barrio on 02/11/2013 at 13:19

November is upon us and the first signs of frost in Inverurie this morning. We haven't had any step by steps on the forum for a while, if anybody fancies doing some this month I can put up a wee prize for the best if you like?

I'm rather disappointed that images from the old "tinypic" image hosting system are disappearing from our step by steps, so it would be great to see some new ones.

Best wishes
Mike

Mike, is this a gradual disappearance or did they just vamoosh ?

Hi Marc,

Seems to be gradual, you'll see what I mean here http://www.fishingthefly.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=3525.0 (http://www.fishingthefly.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=3525.0)

weird, it's like they're being pushed out as others come in ?
why not right-click save to desktop images on threads that haven't been compromised, c&p the html text and repost them again ?
comments would get lost but that's about it. would only take a few minutes per s-b-s and keep you from getting into trouble !!!   :z16

Hi Marc,

It will take a while to do them, but I think you're right I need to try to do something.

Cheers
Mike

I've done the first two, so it is possible Marc :cool:

Takes ages and I won't be able to do anything about the lost images :z6

Cheers

no, but the authors most probably have original files at home instead of on some photo server. maybe worth contacting them or just put up a post in the Announcement section ?
me thinks that the owners removed those images from the server but forgot they where linked to this and/or other sites.
this has happened to me….  :X2


anyhow, good on you for trying to save the really good stuff that's already there.  :z16

this all reminds me of how crappy places like Photobucket and such can be.
imo, the best option to have online pics by far is to create a blog account on WordPress, make it private (non-readable to the public) and stock pics and videos there. it's seems as secure as can be. (for a free service)
easy, free, i've never had a single problem with this setup.  :wink

cheers,
marc
