NEW Photobucket and Ebay

[numismatist]

I have photos stored on Photobucket, large sized and always just clicked

on them and pulled them across onto Ebay when I put a Coin up for sale.

Now you search to find your Album on Photobucket and everthing is very small

with the bottoms cut off of every photo

Can anyone work it out ?? Thanks

Well what I was doing is right-click copying and pasting, but I can't work out how to do that in the new version of PB ... I am currently using IE for PB (instead of Chrome) as (for me) this is still using the old version, but that will change on the 18/3.

I have noticed that if I put the pics on this forum, I can then right-click copy them, so something similar might be the answer!

[Coinery]

I use chrome, and I haven't found the new PB user friendly at all...much preferred the old version for my uses!

Does anyone know of a similar photo storage facility that uses https instead of http?

PayPal apparently don't display your logo on their payments pages, unless they are linked to on an https server????

Think that dropbox uses https rather than http.

I got confused when I tried the other day. You used to be able to copy the link and paste it in a reply on the forum, but now it doesn't copy any more if the lack of message is to be believed. Gave up and moved on. I might return to photobucket when I have a spare hour or two and try to work it out. Why take something that works and render it inoperative? What drives programmers to do this? If they must fiddle with the program, at least have the decency to pin some revised instructions to the login. Grrrr.

Edited to say that I haven't a clue how to use Photobucket with ebay listings anyway. One problem is enough.

Rob, you can still easily paste the pics into the Forum ... with the coin selected, simply click in the IMG code field (it will say 'Copied' when you do this) then Ctrl+V in to your post

It used to say copied, now it doesn't say anything - so presumably doesn't work any more or at least not with my computer.

Testing, testing. It appears to copy but doesn't say so any more? I presume this means that everything is working as before, just nobody realises.

A PROPER one! Not too many Oak Nut coins in that condition! I take it that one won't be hitting your site?

Yey, glad it is still working for you Rob, it still says 'Copied' for me (but only for a split second!)

Just a random scrap silver coin you chose for testing purposes there then!

This is not for sale. It is the representative example of the acorn over ermine mark (seen on the rev. only) for the collection.

I've never seen one finer! If only to stick to examples like that, I'd only have about 4 in my collection! I will always remember where I've seen the finest sixpence of its rare type!

Well done for plucking that one! If you die before me, can you let someone know I'd like to have it!

Can I have some high-res images? PLEASE!

Thanks, Rob! That really is a very special coin!

Lol, someone's got the 'I wants' !

Maybe we will get to see Rob's personal collection one day, I imagine it to be rather special!

Loveliest sixpence I've seen in ages! Would be amazing for any MM but, a considerably rarer type as well, you'll not see a comparable example! ! I can't even conceive of a better one! Eye-wateringly pretty!

Like most collections it has good bits and bad bits. It's a mixture of mostly EF or better milled with some barely legible gap fillers too where the ideal coin will not be available to buy. Hammered are similar, but with many VF or better. Again there are a few dogs, but we can't always get what we want.

I have a hunch that Rob's collection is full of such exemplary pieces!

What's great about coins like this, is the detail you don't ordinarily get to see on lesser examples, such as the broken shield punch, showing as a fracture in the top right corner! I want to chop that shield out!

It's also the rarest of the acorn die-pairings according to BCW, as if being a nice coin wasn't enough!

I'm sure if you ask Rob nicely he will send you other pics of his Lizzy I coins, then you will really be in trouble!!!

Yes, too many coins and not enough time to chop!

Why take something that works and render it inoperative? What drives programmers to do this?

In all fairness to the "programmers", they are not the people who initiate system changes. This lies in the hands of "highly qualified" and completely inexperienced Business Analysts and their cohorts, the Project Manager, another completely useless though highly valued member of the IT management team. Both of these groups, are people who by and large, are afraid of technologists (programmers and systems analysts) and like to keep them at arms length and preferably on another subcontinent. Most of them dont believe that people other than themselves can pat their heads and rub their tummies at the same time. Such is IT today. (/rant)

Ah I remember it well! I bailed out of IT in 2004 when I was overpromoted beyond the level of my own competence. Lead Programme Manager. I still don't know what that means but as far as I could make out it involved producing and presenting Death by PowerPoint and prancing about in front of a whiteboard trying to rationalise the muddled thoughts of those watching me. I found myself longing for the days when I had been a techie prowling the floor fixing PCs. It was like being the RAC man, and everyone was pleased to see me. Blagging money out of the Directors for projects I really didn't understand just wasn't the same!

Now I dig holes for a living: best career move I ever made, and I get to take the afternoon off if I don't fancy doing it in the rain.
