Back in March or April, I got an email (probably auto-generated) from Flickr telling me that I had too many photos in my account that were not available for public viewing. I was only allowed 25 private photos in my free account. And that I was WAY over the limit!
There were a few photos of other things. The majority were photos of me naked hiking and were there for my use to post on this forum. They said I had to decide what to do. I never made any of them public because they were nude photos and I didn't think Flickr would let me keep the account if I had nude photos. Since I did not intend those photos to be available to the public on Flickr, I chose to delete the account. I suppose I could have uploaded enough innocuous photos on Flickr and made them public. Well that didn't occur to me at the time. But there it is, they are all gone from Flickr. And then I remembered this forum.
With all the photos that I had posted here. Oops! Afterward I wished I had at least made a list of what was there with an eye to redoing those posts with the same photos using a different site. I will have to puzzle out which posts have photos. Which photo I was describing in my comments and then trying to locate the file.
The post now can look something like this:
". . . was seeing strikes 2 miles across the valley near where I would be hiking. It's part of the monsoon experience, there is usually lightening along with it."
#1 #2 #3 #4
1. The view out the window of my car at the hike down to Calville Wash about 10 yrs. ago.
2. Looking back to the southwest where the storm is approaching the trail head.
3. Southeast where the leading edge has passed and moves away.
4. The road east toward Bitterspring Valley
The numbers above (#1 . . etc) are located where the photo was before I deleted my Flickr account and the comments below were associated with each photo.
I'm guessing I will 1st have to find a replacement site for photos, upload them, then replace the old commands for the post with the language for the new site. This may take a while, but once I figure out the format I should be able to convert them all.
I started scanning what had been posted in 'Trip Reports' just to see how many posts were mine. Luckily not that many. As a result I started reading the posts trying to figure out which photo was posted.
I decided to review the posts to refresh my memory about what I had posted. And of course I got distracted from my original task as I was reading all those old posts. It is interesting to read what was being discussed a few years ago and what our discussions were. The oldest post with photos is from 2015. I am slowly figuring out which photos were used.
I'll have to find an alternative to Flickr and then learn the routine for attaching photos to the post.. I looked at Stuart's Naturist Links" topic pinned at the top of the "General Discussion" board, hoping to find some new information on photo sites. Unfortunately most of the links there are 8-10 yrs. old and I didn't see any new ones.
I know the most reliable method is what Jbee is doing, but I don't think I want to go to that level. Yet.
What is the current favorite site being used by the members?
