I'd forgotten just how infuriating the photobucket site was to use! Is there a way of downloading all albums at once?

Yes, there's a option if you look for it. It's not obvious but once you know you'll persevere no doubt. Good luck! worked for me.

I've never seen any spam etc. from it. Not a thing

Maybe since I have used it for a long while , it wants to throw gambling sites and weird links to me .

I can only stand using the photobucket site with Adblock active - I hate it. I've just spent a painful evening downloading my albums to PC! I can now successfully recognise street signs, dresses and motor vehicles (if you've done the same, you'll understand!)

And shop signs?

I wasn't very good at those

That bot detector was down a few weeks ago and no matter how clever you were there was no access.

Does anyone know a quick and easy way to convert 100+ images to a file size of less than 0.73MB so I can transfer the images for my build threads from photobucket to the forum gallery?

[Kit Car Electronics]

A stupid way, but you can select a bunch at a time and email them to yourself with Outlook - mine offers a choice of file sizes for attachments...

I'd thought of that but was hoping there might be an easier way to do it than sending myself 20 emails

I resize using Paint. It's one at a time but it's easy and quick

No votes for using Google drive on here? Not sure how well it can link up to the forum website but really easy for sharing pictures in general. Uploads direct from your phone and completely free with any Gmail based account. Certainly worth considering!

It's Google monkeying about with their tools that's caused all the links from their old Picassa system to break in all my build threads. Having  been burnt once, not touching them again.

Try faststone Image viewer. I use it for batch processing images, size, water marks etc.

I've just found this on another forum and it works for now.

 

If you are using Google Chrome, install this extension and all Photobucket images on any forum will reappear:

If this doesn't take you there directly then you need to use 'Help' find out how to add the extension "photobucket embed fix".

Excellent Paul, thanks! However, unless others have the extension they will not see uploads from Photobucket will they?
