Ive just logged onto my account and all of my videos have vanished, it says I have not uploaded any videos, there was two years worth = lots, good job I have them on my external and photobucket.

Any one know of any reason they would have been cleaned out?

[Road Hog]

not a clue,are they viewable by the public ?

Also anyone with Photobucket FREE basic account beware, all accounts are now been deleted if inactive for 3 months.

Cheers for that Jase,may well explain why so many pictures are disappearing out of threads

Not done anything, last logged on last friday all was fine, thankfully I have a paid photobucket account

Maybe we should encourage techi pics to be uploaded to the site servers?

[Road Hog]

Think I need to ask Jay to do backups of my threads,finding the pics & reposting in the correct order would be a nightmare

Just log on every now and then

I havent been able to upload videos to photobucket or youtube for ages now. Always stops at about 60% for pbucket or the bar keeps wizzing around on utube.
Doesnt matter if I leave em for ages, overnight on occasion even. Not happy.

photobucket made my computer go into malware alert.

I had that on photo bucket, I used the bulk uploader on there and that worked fine.

I think I'll upload a vid to youtube now then, just to confirm my account is still in use.

Thanks for the tip off.

INteresting...

I don't have owt on Youtube, but there's a few bits n bobs on photobucket. I'll have to transfer everything over to my own servers / gallery, I think. Can't rely on places that might randomly shut an account

Ive just had a longer harder look at the setting, seems its been hacked the profile was changed and some not nice mis-spelt words have been added

Going to delve deeper over the weekend, just wondering if the change to google passwords has affected the security?

Hackers cant live with them,cant shoot them there needs t be new & stronger punishments for them

[Drift]

I agree, just had another quick look, and deleted the account, will start again.

Hmm,

Not that I condone any such activity but the term 'Hacker' is branded far too easily these days.

What you have experienced is an attacker, not a Hacker 'real' hackers are good people with no malicious intentions at all.
