Flickr photo changes

Post by 937carrera » 2nd November 2018 - 10:46pm

Here we go again, loads of forum pictures about to disappear as 1TB storage changes to 1000 photos, with the excess being deleted

At least there's a bit more notice this time than there was with Photobucket and the costs are lower at £40 / year.

Oh joy, but at least we now know and have time to start grabbing photos which are useful

I nicked quite a few when photof*@kit came back

Grabbing your own photos back where they are the only copy is one thing, having them appear in the forum when the URL has changed is another unless you have a script to grab and store in the forum.

I mean I spend a bit of time visiting forums searching for useful reference photos and save them to my PC before the hosting site knocks them off line. Then if anyone asks about that topic in future i post the photo up.

Ah, couple of things to think about

The photos won't be in the original threads, so not as useful
Though hopefully theoretical, there are potential copyright issues with using other peoples photos without getting permission
