Hopefully this isn't hijacking this thread -- feel free to move it if so --

I just upgraded to Tapatalk 2.0 (I think it was $2 or $3) and all the pictures display quickly and beautifully within the post no matter how they are linked... there are many other functionality improvements as well.

It's been a game changer for me and how I use message boards so I wanted to spread the news. If running from the FCB app is better for the board, can you upgrade the FCB app to use the Tap 2.0 guts?

Andrew and Barry...feel free to join the contest as well! If not, and if you have the time, take a quick moment to uncheck a quick setting in Photobucket :)

Hopefully this is okay. In the original thread neither of the sample pictures went to a Photobucket album (I think one was supposed to for illustrative purposes).

Picture Posting Contest!!! Three Prizes for Three Winners...SCANS!!!

Hello Guys and Gals!!!

I would like to host a contest that I hope is both fun as well as helpful for the posting of pictures viewed from mobile devices. If anyone views this site on a mobile device using the FCB App, you may have noticed that some posted pictures open up outside of the App and into Photobucket. This can be annoying as for one it takes MUCH longer to load the picture, and for two Photobucket seems to show video ads half the time before allowing the picture to be viewed.

Here is how the contest will work:

1. Change your user settings in Photobucket to UN-check the "Link back to albums" options. This thread shows you how to do so and a screenshot if needed: Scans/Photos routing to Photobucket in the FCB App...Annoying? This is a very fast and easy change, and I guarantee will have MAJOR impact on users that view your pictures that are posted. ***If you have already made this change, make sure to post up your pictures as well. One less step for you to do making it an easier contest for you to participate in ;)

2. After making this change, post your favorite card or picture from YOUR Photobucket. I will view each photo from my mobile device to see if the change made was successful. You may post as many cards as you like, but will only qualify if clicking on your photo DOES NOT take me to Photobucket :)

3. There will be 3 winners all together. This will run for 2 weeks which I will then choose winners in multiple ways:
-First winner will be chosen via random.org by the post number. This winner will get first choice of what prize they would like.
-The second winner will be randomly selected based off of what card or picture posted that I find to be my favorite/most unique in the thread. This winner will get to choose which last of the two prizes are available.
-The third and final winner will be selected by winner #1 and winner #2 selecting a favorite picture, then I will use random.org again between both of those choices to decide who the third winner will be. This winner will receive which ever card is left over from the three prizes.

Here are the prizes to be chosen from:

1993 SP Derek Jeter RC:

2004 Leaf Certified Materials Ryan Howard White Mirror autograph 10/25:

If you have ANY questions about the contest just post them and I will answer accordingly. Have fun posting your pictures, and thanks for impacting the boards for the better with this simple change :)

Alex

What are the results of the contest?

Winners will be announced later this afternoon :)

Let's get a few others to reply if possible, I know I keep seeing a few members picture posts doing the same thing on the board.

Yeah I agree it is very frustrating to have the pic links take me to photo bucket.
Hope others will make sure to make the changes or use the correct image code links.
