doublegunshop.com - home Forums Thread Like Summary - Imgur eviction

I tried to sign in to Imgur to upload a couple of pictures here, but it does not allow me to sign in.

I now find that every picture posted here has been replaced with a Question Mark.

I am disappointed to say the least, but hope that Argo 44 (same thing with his pics) has been able to back up his research elsewhere.

I know there is nothing certain but death and taxes, but can anyone recommend a safer alternative?

Prof. Brent, Dave is pretty much a one man show on his site. We had a conversation a few years ago about putting a photo hosting app onto this site. He looked into it. I guess it was just not economically feasible.

Dave works his rear off here to give us a forum; and he has by himself corralled for the most part the buffoons and totalitarians, who tried to wreck it three years ago. It's still for me the best site around with the most amazing and interesting expertises. And again for me is the easiest to use. I can pick and choose from every post...not having to go to cubby holes to see what is happening.

Life is not perfect. The site is darned good though. Just sayin and one man/s opinion (And I think I'll contribute a bit this weekend).

Gentlemen?

Is there an unseasonal cold snap in the States?

You seem to be generating more heat than light.

Whenever I have trouble with Imgur now, I reboot my computer. Why this works, I don't know, but I frequently find that does the trick.

All my recent IMGUR photos are still up. I had a series of problems with JPGBOX a couple of years ago; they finally went off-line for 5 months. I have all my photos backed up and I painstakingly recreated the photos on-line using IMGUR. Then someone must have bought JPGBOX because they magically reappeared at some point in time; Photos can still be posting using their site.

Parabola, the problem must be a local one. If you can find a human at IMGUR they likely can fix it if rebooting the computer doesn't work. (When the car stops, check to see if you've got gas first; when computer stops, reboot).

Given the cost of a external hard drive its shocking to me that people don't have control of ALL of their photos. The only thing I use a hiosting site for is posting on line. And I have every original? digital photo on two different drives. it's so easy and inexpensive, there is no excuse.....especially after the PHOTOBUCKET debacle of a number of years ago.

I don't care a whit if a site does it on their own or not. I use jpgbox on all sites, regardless of what their status is. Once I learned to do it I'd rather just do the same thing anywhere I go. Only takes a matter of seconds to post a pic regardless which site I'm on.

jpgbox certainly works for me.

Dave Weber needs to upgrade this site to accommodate direct posting of photos

There is no shortage of users who won't donate a dime, and who beg constantly for someone else to do the legwork for them. Posting pics here is easy. Why should Dave spend his money when cheapskates want to use the site for free?

Fall in line behind ed good, the king of those who want someone else to do the legwork for them.
