Good points, gents. My feeling is the migration from org to cc indicates a response to the threat of server shut down. I assume when Post Image set up a separate link for adult content that was in response to a complaint.

What is going to be difficult will be moving established images we previously uploaded one by one to the new server address. In sympathy with Carlos, I do not want to waste time editing individual picture links. Also, any embedded links, such as links quotes within a conversation, are not going to be editable unless the person who made the comment edits the image references.

Finally, once a company changes servers, they may change servers again....

Ok, I tried logging in on my phone again, and this time no problem... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot...

I can't see any of the images that are posted from Postimage.org. :hmm:

This really sucks, wonder also if I have energy to ”update” all reference adresses in my picture links..

There should certainly be a bulk-edit option for those who can moderate all the posts in one go?

Like, Search ”Postimage.org” and replace ”Postimage.cc”

Thomas, Torben, is it possible ?

I sympathize with you, Kari, as well. My course of action was to take my one active build and corral all of the photos from my iPhone to a hard drive, in preparation for creating a photo set online some where over the rainbow. I am at the point of trying Flickr, which is a low point indeed, as their interface is very sucky (technical phrasing).

I've been using Flickr since the Photobucket incident and have had no problems on the computer or using my phone.

That is good to know, Medic. I will check out Flickr. I had two negative experiences—one with uploads and the other with using Flickr’s albums, and I have to admit now I am being hasty. Thank you for the correction.

It does take some getting used to how it all works. But once you figure it out, it's very easy to use.

I'm still using Postimage. It has the simplest interface, which is helpful when posting a lot of photos, which I do. And all of my photos been automatically migrated over to the Postimage.cc site. Everything looks and operates the same as before except *.cc instead of *.org. Like Kari mentioned, it'd be cool if forum mods could somehow do a global FIND/REPLACE. Or maybe a browser add-on will be developed like what happened with Photobucket.
