New studies find carcinogens in vg and pg at high temps, even in tootle puffers

The file names are unchanged from your download? What about a script that could be uploaded and run by Admin who could also have a looksee before executing it. It is asking a lot of a forum admin, but never hurts to ask, right?

Few admins would take that risk, especially on a site this size.
Hell, if I were the Admin I would only do it if I could run it in a sandbox first, with a team watching the results. Even if successful , on a site this size it would take a day or two of being offline to do the production site.

Yeah, I know, it would be a cool script though. I wonder how those Stamp Collector sites are recovering.

May Photosucket be damned to the 7th level of hell.

I wonder how many manhours they have cost the digital community.

I'm fairly certain that photobucket just wrote their death sentence.

I was going to comment that if their original business model/plan showed it would cost $400 per subscriber they made a serious mistake somewhere along the line. As soon as I get everything downloaded it's all getting deleted along with my account. I know they have copies on backup but that will be worthless when they close the doors anyway.

I am rolling the dice. I have backed everything up, and implemented my own solution for the future, but I am going to leave it there for a while.

They are catching major heat from every News Media giant in existence, even the BBC etc. I am holding out on the chance they may back peddle rather than go out of business. That could be useful for the posts I can no longer edit, or even remember where they exist.

Doesn't matter to me either way. The popups and scripts make it unusable half the time and so slow it hurts the rest of the time. Greener pastures elsewhere and a lesson learned...keep everything duplicated locally and backed up as well.

Oh, I wont use it to ever post anything in the future, I am just hoping they may back-peddle and give us the historical links back. There is no way I can replace them all myself, I dont remember where they all are.

Any future post will be linked to my own server.

Backups for your backups backup is not just for vaping.

I am even going one step further, I am in the process of installing a youtube like setup for video's, you never know. I will (once setup) host ALL my Pictures and Video on MY own server. Not going to trust anyone else ever again.

What are you using for the video sharing?

In the interest of maintaining continuity on this thread, especially as it's an active one, I've done a temporary change to allow you to do edits in this thread. Let me know when you're finished so I can change things back to normal.

Thank you sir!

I have restored all of my Photosucket pics in this entire thread. I appreciate your leeway on this! You may change me back to lowly user status now.

Nice find! I tried for it, but seems you can only install the free version if your hosting uses cpanel and mine uses plesk. And you can't download the free version and to a web install.

Did you try this, they say it works with the free version:

Install via web installer
1. Download the web installer
2. Upload this file to your target destination (usually public_html folder)
3. Open your website target destination URL and follow the install process

Bear in mind, while photos can chew up a bit of your allotted bandwidth, videos will tear through it like it's going out of style.

I just tried this ... it seemed to work. My public folder was populated with the application files. But oddly when the install finished and redirected to the app I got a 404 not found error.

Even more odd at the moment is when I type in the url ..../public/index.php I still get the 404 error but the directory and file are there ... at least I can see them w/ my FTP client.

Giving up for now. Sleep time.

For those of you setting up your own servers, I certainly hope you're also being mindful of security and are hardening them as much as possible. In addition, you should also be checking to insure that anything you install isn't opening a hole big enough to drive a Mack truck through.

I am going to try ClipBucket, IF I can set it up. Not done anything like this before and there are a lot of steps in the setup. But I'm going to work on it today and see where I can get.

So True, but I have 10TB a month transfer, so I think I will be good for the few videos I will be posting.

What kind of pipe do they give you? Are you assured of a 1 Gbps or whatever dedicated speed you have? With a 10TB data transfer allotment, you likely do, but it may still be worth checking if you're expecting lots of concurrent streams of your videos. If you're not then I guess it doesn't matter.

Interesting, ClipBucket is included in "Softaculous" that comes with my hosting package.

But none of them are supported by Xenforo (ECF)
