Photobucket issue

Post by Pune » Fri Jul 07, 2017 1:47 pm

Hi Folks,
It seems that any of us that use the above site for photo sharing (I may be incorrect) can no longer do this without paying a fee, any info' on other sites (FREE) that can be used successfully.
Cheers

Flickr is the "go to" website for photographers

Couldn't agree more with 'EGVP' ;)

Had probs with 'Photofu@kit' :@

Never had a prob with Flickr (although, they do tweak their interface sometimes, but it's no big deal) :thumb:

Has anyone knowledge about BT Cloud working as a 3rd party host for FC & similar?

I have a Flickr account and find it almost within my diminishing IT capability. I suppose that I'm looking for an alternative should Flickr go the same way as Phot :grr:

Hi everyone, if i was to use flicker to post my photos, does it just post the line of info for people to press and view or will it actually show the picture on the Fighter control site. If so how can I get the photo up on the site. Sorry for being a dimbo, many thanks in advance.

:whistle:

It will (if you do it right) show the image. This should help:

Photobucket will still work without subscription.

See my earlier post.

Still working last time I posted a pic, but Photobucket is currently undergoing maintenance!

Thanks Paddyboy. Flicker seems easier to use but i guess that's down to the individual. Roll on the 2018 season. :thumb:

Interesting image.
The control surfaces on the trailing edges do not seem symmetrical.

If it is in a turn to starboard, shouldn't the port outboard control surface be down, not up?

I must do some research of the aircraft! :S

C24 - if it helps, the shot was taken as the pair of aircraft were coming through in a long shallow turn. The wind that day was not anything more than a breeze. Sorry if this has detracted from the original subject. :whistle:

It must be the angle of the shot. The port wing doesn't look "right". Obviously it is, just as the shot from the Boeing site.

Whatever :roll: Well caught.

Difficult to tell from a still image as you can't tell whether it is at a steady angle of bank, or whether it is rolling left or right. If it was steady, the roll controls would be almost neutral. What you are seeing at the outboard trailing edges though are utilised more for yaw control, as variable drag devices. But then agin, remember that it is hardly conventional and is constantly being controlled, in all axes, by a computer
