WildBill50 Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 As a user of photobucket for all of my posts up to now, everything was working fine. I tried usung the "new and improved" version of Photobucket for the first time the last few days. I could not load anything on to the site. So now I am using "Shutterfly" for my uploads. When I tried posting some pictures a little while ago, the pictures downloaded onto the post area like they should have. I wrote out some snappy and insightful comments about the pictures and attempted to post the new banter. I then received the following: "You are not allowed to use that image extension on this community". I am just wondering what this means? Does IPMS not support Shutterfly, or are there other things going on? Are there any work-arounds or what. Left with tales to tell. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewahl Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 I have to report receiving a large number of red X icons instead of photos when I open a thread on this forum that contains both small and large numbers of pictures. I agree with Bill that the images I try to load from Photobucket sometimes require two or three tries. Just commenting ... Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Aldrich Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 Bill, Not to sound rude but your pictures are REALLY small. when you click on them, they still stay the same size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildBill50 Posted December 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 Mark, That is the problem I was having with photo bucket. I can't get the pictures to load correctly. Their new site stinks as far as i'm concerned. I can't even get into my pictures on the site anymore. The problem I am having now is with shutterfly. I posted the pictures (nice large ones) from Shutterfly in the topic box and added a few comments on them. When I tried to post the reply, a comment box came up with the following in it: "You are not allowed to use that image extension on this community". I cancelled the post and posted something in this forum to find out what that means. See, size still matters. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Aitala Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 Can you point me to one of the shutterfly images you are trying to post? And which Forum area are you trying to post in? Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Aldrich Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 Bill and Eric, The oness I am referring to are the "Unarmed and unafraid". When you click on the picture it does not get larger. It is about the size of a thumbnail. I personally went back to the OLD photobucket format as I was having too many problems trying to save pictures off of other peoples pages (IPMS/USA Events pictures) and have not had a problem since I switched.

Eric Aitala Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 The images you linked are the thumbnails so that's what being displayed. What's the link for the full gallery on Photobucket? Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildBill50 Posted December 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 Eric, I have a picture I tried posting in the aircraft section right now under Voodoo. It's sitting there with test post by it. The error message is on it also. All of the pictures previously on the post are from photobucket so it's not like I don't know how to post anything. I realize in the "Unarmed and Unafraid" section those were thumbnails from Photobucket. I couldn't open the images to post them as before for some reason. That is why I went to shutterfly. If anyone can tell me how to get into the old photobucket maybe that would work. Everytime I hit the line item on the screen that says to do so, the site freezes up. So if you just go into the Aircraft/Voodo section now there is a picture in the netherworld waiting to be posted...I think. Hope this helps.

WildBill50 Posted December 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 Well that didn't work. When you hit post, the error message comes up, so you cant post the picture. I'm getting really peaved about this (from both sides). I can't show the picture to post because of the error message, so you can't post anything because of this. "You are not allowed to use that image extension on this community". This is what keeps coming up in an error box. What does this mean??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Aitala Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 It looks like the new Beta Photobucket has broken the IMG thumb code option as it no longer contains the thumbnail linked to the image in the PB gallery.. Which would look like...

Eric Aitala Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 I see no way to share images posted in Shutterfly other than creating a public album and posting links to that... Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildBill50 Posted December 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 Thanks for checking into this for me. I'll figure something out in time. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildBill50 Posted December 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 I was able to return to the original Photobucket with the help of my teen daughter. I guess you just have to go with whomever can get the job done. She was able to get into the system in just a couple of steps. Thanks for everybodies help here, guys. I really do appreciate the different avenues you told me to take or try. And also for you trying them so you could help me out. Also, thanks Kelly (my daughter) for going the simple route to figure a way around. Bill PS...All she did was use a different browser, ie from Yahoo to Google Chrome to get into Photobucket. Too simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Deliduka Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 Cool. I love the simple answers. I use Mozilla Firefox myself and so far have not had any other issues with my Photobucket account. That is after the first ones; but I think it was still in beta at the time.
