    100% true. Photobucket shafted everybody when they decided to extort money from their users. 

    Don't worry. I keep ALL my pics in a special folder just in case of such an event, I can always re upload them.

    The reason why I use a third party direct link is because there's a limit as to how many you can upload in any one thread. That's what I remember anyway. Is this still the case or has this been expanded ?

    The software has changed quite a bit since the old days so this may of changed. I can tweak things. The only restriction we would need is video as these can gobble up a server in no time.

     

  2. Problem with direct links are if photo sites like imgur if they go out of business or dissallow remote sharing then it will break the links rendering your thread useless. Always encourage uploading here, guarantee the images will never break. We have plenty of space.

    If you have any issues with uploading multiple images then let me know, i can look into it.
     

  3. Hi Guys

    Due to some technical issues with our host and not being able to restore a recent back up we have suffered a little bit of data loss. This was mainly due to being set up on a new cloud infrasturcture and the back ups were not tested fully.

    Some of you may have experienced that we have stepped back a few days and there will be loss in topics, Posts and PM's.

    We apologise for any inconvinience this may have caused members, including members that registered over the last week that may need to re-register.

    I have taken steps to ensure that the nightly data back ups are backing up correctly in future and I have taken extra steps to ensure that this will not happen again.

    We have been lucky over the last 11 years that we have managed to keep the data intact, so as you can understand I am sad that a little bit of data has been lost.

    Sorry guys!

  4. Many members would have noticed the forums have been down for a considerable amount of time. This was due to major technical fault with the server.  The technicians worked hard to get the server back up and running as quickly as possible.

    However, we are not out of hot water yet. We have found another problem with the servers operating system that was related to the first  issue.

    We are able to use the server for the moment but it will require a new reload of the operating system. So we are going to plan to do this at the weekend and expect a good 3-4 hours downtime while we reload all the data back on to the server and re-configure.

    We hope this will solve all the issues which have been bugging us for a number of weeks.

    Our future plans are to move to a much more robust infrastructure which should illuminate any future failures.

    We apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused.

  5. there will be a way to turn off the beep, not sure it can be done within the car yourself or maybe the dealer has to do it though.. have you tried doing a google search? I had a quick look but nothing came up apart from disabling a seat belt chime
