This is really bad.
I was notified 11-30 that Picture Trail is ceasing operations in 90 days. I have used the picture hosting site for almost 15 years as it allows for album narrative and image captions.
That means almost 5000 images here need to be transferred to another site, but I need to save the captions
http://www.picturetrail.com/sfx/album/listing/user/revdocdrew
There are 575 images on this one album
http://www.picturetrail.com/sfx/album/view/19974446

All these albums need to be recreated
https://lcsca.clubexpress.com/content.aspx?page_id=22&club_id=43784&module_id=248779

Every image embedded here needs to be reposted
https://sites.google.com/a/damascusknowledge.com/www/home

https://www.trapshooters.com/threads/tra...r-sport.808693/
https://www.shotgunworld.com/bbs/viewforum.php?f=5

It also means that every image I have ever posted on this and every other internet forum is going to disappear.
My biggest frustration is losing the captions for all the images. Almost all are on my computer but the significance of the image is lost without the description thereof, and many on the website also have links.

So I'm desperately working on transferring the images, while somehow retaining the narrative, and making Word docs out of the existing Picture Trail albums. And will need to create at least 2 new websites.
I started with my ministry Picture Trail site
http://www.picturetrail.com/photos/gracemedicalmissions

This will obviously take ALOT of time so please be patient, esp. with the Damascus, Belgian proofmark & gun I.D., L.C. Smith, Baker, Folsom/Crescent, and trap shooting related albums.

Good luck, Rev. You were posting photos here, before I had any idea how to do it
A bunch of information is at stake.
Best,
Ted

I have no idea why anyone in their right mind would use a Photo Hosting site to store images after what happened with Photobucket. I find it quite easy to post photos here without storing photos on some site that may hold them for ransom as Photobucket did, or one that will simply go out of business.


A true sign of mental illness is any gun owner who would vote for an Anti-Gunner like Joe Biden.

This is bad news! The work & effort you have put into building the picture trail information is a very valuable asset to the SxS collecting community.

I for one really appreciate everything you have done over the years and I wish you the best of luck in persevering the archives you've established on the picture trail site.

2020 just keeps on giving us more lemons!

Drew, is the Picture Trail site for sale that you know of? Would they be open to that suggestion?... not that I could possibly do anything about it.

Now most all close-up pictures I take are with my IPhone. The resolution is set at Actual and pictures are then downloaded to the Cloud so I can get them when needed.
I had Photobucket for many years and loved it but then they wanted money, so I went to Imgur, so far they are free but I expect that to change also.

Queen Frank?

Gay slurs and inferences are often a narcissistic defense mechanism called projection. Self-awareness and emotional insight are not your strong points, but try to think about it. And hatred toward others often is a manifestation of self-hatred, but some people are just mean and miserable.

Not a wasted life Frank. I've always enjoyed learning, and sharing. It is very frustrating that much of the research, some of which is found in no other resource, at least in an organized manner, may be lost.
I am going to prioritize the DamascusKnowledge stuff, esp. the pattern examples, one of which you contributed wink
