Ugh Photobucket

[jayeless_archive]

So because Photobucket randomly decided to charge people $400 for the privilege of being able to post their own pictures off-site, and quite a few of the old Sprita updates have their images hosted on that site… I guess that means they’re gonna go offline soon? (Or the pictures are, at least.)

Not really sure how best to go about retrieving my own pictures off that site and rehosting them elsewhere. If the only way to do it is redownloading stuff one picture at a time, I don’t think it’s going to happen, lol. Unfortunately I lost my original copies in a hard drive crash, because that’d be the obvious solution. Bah, Photobucket.

I found out way toward the end of my downloading every single photo individually that you can download your entire album from photobucket!

Hopefully that will help a little bit!

Hi there – thanks for the tip! Unfortunately I’m not having a lot of luck with downloading whole albums (maybe the Photobucket server is overloaded from all of its users trying to do that all at once, haha). I initiated a download of two of the albums (the two Antikva albums hosted there), and although the site told me it’d email me when they were ready for download, it hasn’t yet :( Hopefully it’ll get there eventually!
