Photobucket uploader - disabled

**Lowe** · 03-09-2010, 09:07 AM

Hi all,

As you may have noticed the forum was behaving oddly earlier on, and would automatically forward you to Photobucket when clicking on a thread. I'd like to reassure you that this was nothing to do with SW, and unfortunately was a side effect of Photobucket changing the way their upload page works.

I've had to disable the image uploader plugin that would appear at the bottom of your pages that allowed you to quickly upload images, since that was causing the auto redirect. For now, I'm afraid you will have to insert images the 'old fashioned' way.

You do this by firstly opening another tab or window in your browser and going to Photobucket. Log in and upload your photos. Once uploaded look for the IMG link which will be underneath your picture. Copy the link, switch to SW, then paste it into your post with the [ IMG ] tags around it (with no spaces between the brackets and IMG, I can't post the exact code otherwise it won't show up!).

Thanks for all the concerned PM's and emails, rest assured we sorted it as quick as we could.

I'll look into providing some other kind of image uploader soon.

Lowe

I did it that way anyway, didn't know there was another way. I'm just an old fashioned kinda gal.
