just a little behind the scenes CC update...

[Pete M]

PictureTrail (the site I've been using for photo hosting for over a decade now) is closing up shop and taking all my pics with it.  

just kidding!  kinda.  I mean, they really are going away, but Kryptronic worked his magic and now the CC has all of the photos hosted on our site.  

 

If anyone hears of any other photo hosting site evaporating, be sure to let me know or we risk losing whatever was there.

These dang hosting sites.  I noticed some of my older pictures hosted on Tapatalk have started to disappear.  I have the originals but have no idea what the pictures were that are gone.

If it hasn't happened to you yet, it will. First we lost Photobucket. Then Photobucket bought Tinypics and we lost them. It's like dominoes -- once one falls, the others follow. Most forums I participate on now allow members to upload photos directly to the site. That's good for going forward, but it doesn't replace all the photos that were hosted on external sites that have been lost.
