The way of getting the pics is...
The Google Robot regularly crawls over the forum taking a medium resolution copy of every pic we post. A click on the copy causes Google to search out where the pic actually is ... on the Photobucket server !
It's not quick, since my last post I've just got another 35 but they have to be uploaded to the forum Image Host and identified where they should be.
I think there are about 200 across other threads so we probably won't get them all.

Hi Jim, I've just had a quick look at the image address in post#4 of the actual 'Old Streets Pic' thread and compared it to the one in this thread and they appear to be the same. Getting them off Photobucket was slightly tricky and it was a rather machine like process. I did not actually look closely at the pics and of course the old posts just contain the ransom images making it difficult to compare. I was working with image addresses etc and also simply copied the captions from the original posts. I will have a check tomorrow.

Hi Alan, as you probably remember, the 'hack' attack against the forum in November 2011 completely wiped out all of the forum's pics which was a bit of a shock at the time. Lyn started putting lots of them back on in Jan 2012 but had to use Photobucket which has now decided to hide them from us. There are up to 300 Photobucket pics on the forum so I don't think we will get all of them.

Thanks for the collection of pictures, I do wish you wouldn't use the word "easily" in connection with things to do with computers, but it's all relative, I have a 95 year old neighbour, bright as a button, still drives, always ready to discuss a newspaper article or a radio programme who has just acquired his first tablet, he regards me as an expert, for now. But I fear not for long.
