Editing photo links

(1/3) > >>

Scotchmo:
I quit using Photobucket over a year ago, but I have a lot of old posts with linked photos that are hosted there. Photobucket is currently "holding hostage" views of my linked photos. It says "temporarily disabled". I don't want to pay them to get the links restored. I would like to update links as needed to my own photo hosting sight where I have been storing photos lately.

Can you allow me to do this?

lizzie:
I am not sure I understand what you are asking...
Are you saying you want to replace photobucket linked photos that you have used in your posts on this site, with different photos, linked to your own photo hosting site?

I think so yes, the forum has been changed so we can only edit posts for a set amount of time I think its 30min,
so Scott is asking if there is a way we can go back and change the photo links to active ones so those old posts are still useful?

Okay, if that is the case, then it's unlikely, but I can see no reason why he can't go back to the threads he is referring to, and add a post onto the end of those threads, with new links.

Many of the posts have pictures that are integral to the flow of the thread. Putting new links alone at the end of the thread does not fix the problem. I could repost the entire text at the end as well. But that renders the original post somewhat useless and redundant.

For instance, the following picture:

I want to replace with:
