Any suggestions?

Could you post and example URL/image?

With flickr about to limit non pro users to 1000 photos, I will be having 55,000+ photos removed from their server in 2019. That will mostly ruin all of my Trip Reports.

If they want the photos loaded on their servers (I know at one time they offered/suggested hosting) can someone provide a simple method in the near future. Otherwise my TR will soon be text only.

I've asked our tech team if this is feasible/doable.

This is very unfortunate. But it is the inherent risk in saving and linking to a 3rd party site instead of posting photos directly to FT. Our techs do not have any way to recover these Flickr photos and post them to FT for you.

​​​​​​Even posting pix to FT has its perils. I went back to refer to a post I made in a few years ago that included a pic I uploaded to my FT album, and there link was broken. Apparently at some point the URL structure for FT photo albums got reorganized.

Links from FT should still work -- can you provide me a link to the broken photo?

I already updated the previous post I mentioned, but here's another one:

The photo's still there, but the link in the post which used to work, no longer does.

The link works for me when I click / press on the image.

Are you clicking on the first link, or the second link? The second link is to the photo album page, on which the photo is displayed, sure.

The first link is the original post in which the photo itself used to be embedded. If you click on the first link into the Delta Forum Lounge thread, do you see an image there? I don't. (Though I see IBobi has been experimenting with it)

Zorak, please don't update that post with the non-functional picture URL. I'm asking our tech team if there's a mass fix that's possible and need it as an example.

I have never had a problem posting photos in Flyertalk but suddenly I can get to the point where the photo is loaded but when I press upload it just goes back to my message without attaching the photo. This is happening on my desktop and on 2 iPhones.

Let’s see today, trying Safari on an iPad... No problems. Yesterday there was a good sized DDOS attack on FT; that may have affected things like uploading attachments or images. Try again, please.

Trying to attach an image link from my iPad Pro, using Safari, I am able to access the paper clip icon. When I click on the text box to type in the hyperlink to my images on SmugMug, I can only type a few characters before the box deletes what I typed and unselects itself. This has been happening for about a week and had been forcing me to use the source code to add images....

IBJoel Dec 24, 2018 11:24 am

I've asked tech to take a look at the photo upload issue.
