Photobucket changed their terms recently and to be able to use their site for 3rd party hosting, which is what deco consist of, in now cost $399.00 a year for the subscription. You need to find a different image host. Once you do just put the direct URL to the image in the Cached Web Image script for the sign 01. Or any other prop you want to add a texture to.

While Imgur seems to be good so far have you read the terms of service there. This was posted in another part of the forum.

i found this ..

Stuff not to do
If someone else might own the copyright to it, don't upload it. Don't upload gore, "hate speech" (i.e. demeaning race, gender, age, religious or sexual orientation, etc.), or material that is threatening, harassing, defamatory, or that encourages violence or crime. Don't upload illegal content such as child porn or nonconsensual ("revenge" ) porn. Don't hotlink to adult content (HMM ARE WE NOT AN ADULT CONTENT SITE?)or to file-sharing, gambling, torrent, warez, or Imgur rip-off sites. Don't impersonate someone else. Also, don't use Imgur to host image libraries you link to from elsewhere, content for your website, advertising, avatars, or anything else that turns us into your content delivery network. If you do – and we will be the judge – or if you do anything illegal, in addition to any other legal rights we may have, we will ban you along with the site you're hotlinking from, delete all your images, report you to the authorities if necessary, and prevent you from viewing any images hosted on Imgur.com. We mean it.

All it will take is one person here getting on their radar and then they decide to ban all of UV from being able to use their site. Which would essentially blank every bodies zabys the same way PB did when they changed the way they price things.

and to top it off it sounds like there would be zero recovery of the images so personally I would avoid imgur like the plague.


As far as posting pics from profile on sign-01 I would avoid that if at all possible the image size is all wrong for the number crunching of computers. U want image sizes that are powers of 2 on each side i.e. 2 x 2; 2 x 4, 4 x 2, 512 x 128, etc ..... Because of the size that uv will take the pictures to it isn't a power of 2 on each side which can cause severe lag in your place.

I've started using my own server and linking as an experiment from there to one property. Using a Coppermine Database which is free and Open source since about 2003/4. My hosting is £17 a year for the base account with unlimited email addresses, FTP and Web sites, One main Domain including the registration fee, Sub Domains etc then £6 a year for the CPanel which holds the Database and uses a Windows type to control and operate it and many other features.

Essentially once set up it uses the Cached Image just like described above. Normally I would not go into this much detail for this type of question but these are strange times we are in now and the normal easy approaches are getting replaced by demands for shuge amounts of money. Therefore I offer my approach as an alternative people can set up themselves for not a lot of money. I use FreedomNames for my setup as I know the price next year will be close to the price it is this year. Those 99 cent or free offers often end up around the $50 a month eventually and some don't even include email! Be advised, the price I pay at Freedom is the price derived from about 20 years of being there.

They charge a little more for startups now and I recently needed a second Database so my Photography Club could use their own new Domain. It was about £45 a year so I added the new Domain to my base account and it's about £24 total billed to the club. they email me a month before it's due and include the invoice so it's clear which account they mean. Once payment is made online it's cleared instantly and that's it until the following year. their are many choices for hosting out there and many choices for the Database type you use, not just Coppermine. My CPanel has Coppermine and quite a few more in. I read up on Coppermine and installed it via a downloaded installer but could too have done it direct from my CPanel. My club uses Tinypics to host and auto resize pics, which was bought out by PhotoBucket. When they get around to extorting money with menaces for this I will transfer the pics to my Coppermine site and use that instead. No way will I ever pay PB.....
NOTE: My nick and image are from a company. That company allows people to use them both as long as they get permission and a licence. I have that and a certificate to prove it.
