Re: PhotoBucket Update
*hugs*
No problem. I didn't even remember putting it there. Thanks for letting me know.
Fixing the Pagan Porch taught me that I still know my way around the Runboard layout system.

Re:
For now, the 3 boards I manage are ok with my images, but images from other members are not working. I'm not seeing any real solution here, though.
Photobucket has just "offered" me to be one of the "first" to join paying $39.99 a month. I just don't know what to do with the boards. Can we still use the Runboard backgrounds? Or is that an issue, too? Maybe no more custom boards for me. But that still leaves the problem of the avatars and smilies.
When you wonderful experts come up with a plan, please let me know. I am going to need your expert help.

Re:
Runboard backgrounds are fine. It is only Photobucket that is the problem.
My choice of the photo sharing sites is https://gifyu.com/ . I am liking that site and it is the site I am using for people's avatars and signatures and my smileys. You need to remember with that site, when you use them for an avatar or for your smiley list, you must take the s out of the https. Otherwise you will get an error message.
You need to use this:
http://gifyu.com/images/hug52036.gif rather than this:
https://gifyu.com/images/hug52036.gif
Just take out the s.
PS: $39.99 per month equals 479.88 per year!!! Yikes!

Re: PhotoBucket Update
I'm not liking gifyu. If I upload an image using a name/title already used by another person, a number gets added to the end of it. Creating albums doesn't solve the problem, because the album name isn't added to the link/URL. So I had to come up with very long/clever/dumb image/title names to keep them from adding on their own number code to the end of the link/URL.
I don't like tinypics because the image's name/title isn't used in the link/URL. This makes more work when replacing/switching out images, because you can't always tell if you have the same image or not ... with Photobucket hijacking them.
I'm probably going to just give up on having my own boards. Maybe have a catch-all board where I can keep my findings. Sort of as a blog-type thing. *shrugs*
Will keep Whoosh1 & Whoosh2 because I didn't create them. I created Whoosh3, and it's inactive, so I'll probably delete it at some point. Gonna give it a while and see.
I'd much rather type :boogie: than :boogie5664846e:

Re:
thanks Susa!
If we can use Runboard's own, I will just suggest we go to that.
Because I helped create some of them, I'm SURE there will be something I like

Anything hosted by Runboard itself or rbbt.net is usable I have all the Runboard Graphics cataloged on my Design Elements board and I am working on a catalog of the rbbt.net graphics. If you need something quick let me know and I can post the link to it.

So glad I didn't go with TinyPics for my boards. I did, however, use it to save images for other boards. Just a couple, and they didn't have many images ... so I have them at gifyu now. There are only two images I don't know where they belong, so that's gonna mess up somewhere when tinypics is gone.
This has me going down memory lane, and grateful it's in the past.
