Profile Page Photo Albums?

[Hank Outdoors]

OB Staff,

I have noticed that many older posts have broken image links rendering the post almost useless. These links refer to a 3rd party image host like Photobucket...

Is there a way to add a "Photos" tab, maybe next to "Badges", on our profile pages for keeping photo albums for followers to view? In turn, this will keep all the photos on the OB site and will dramatically reduce posts/threads with broken image links.

I know this would involve much more server space, but would also make the site more user friendly/social for new users.



Just a thought,

Sean Hank Haney

That would be a nice addition. Upload size could be limited to help with storage.

In a previous discussion, @Michael said it was a huge hit on resources, and once installed, irreversible. I don't think it has been looked at since. You can still upload images to a post instead of linking to outside sources. Then the photos won't break in the future.

If you’re using Chrome, here’s a Chrome extension hot link to fix all those broken Photobucket images https://is.gd/Em30Rs

Might be worth a look into cloud storage...
