Officially done with photobucket, onto hobbydisplay - well worth a look folks.

[ljandkg]

The ads were doing my nut in. Every time you go to load up a new card there's a different type of ad showing some woman wearing not very much - I hated it!!

Anyway moved all my stuff over to hobbydisplay - site that Randy (rdliefriaf) has been working on. Got a lot going for it and is being developed by one of our own, a collector, hopefully with everything collectors want!

Plenty of folder options, and holds the image code for u to use so u don't have to go back to PB.
And funnily enough it has no ads......

Well worth a look folks

Thank you, and do it. You can transfer the code and you'll be all set.

Thanks for the heads up.

I tip my hat to you, Al. Noice KG collection. I guess it's between you, myself and Matt Wrightson to see who ultimately is the most dedicated KG collector (and who has the nicest K card). How long does it take to set the thing up, out of curiosity?

Mate, you use a google spreadsheet to put the details into as well as the image code and then you're away laughing. I only have 260 odd images and I chipped away over a few weeks. Just so glad to be rid of PB though.
As for Garnett, there's plenty more than us three!! There's some massive collectors in the Phillipines. We have a KG collectors facebook page with some of the biggest KG collectors worldwide. PM me your facebook name if you wanna join. About 17 members at last count.

lol! only 260-odd? I might be beating you then! I'm pushing toward the 1600 individual garnett cards plus another 10 (i think) items (figures, magazines, posters). And i was talking about just us oct collectors. I'm pretty certain there's some collector's in the world who'd make my collection seem paltry by comparison. Though i do have my second Garnett card with a print of 5 or less coming in very soon (2008-09 SPX Jersey # patch/auto).

Edit: my facebook user name is Taffy Llewellyn, btw.

Do you have to use a google spreadsheet? I've got all my collections done up in Exel spreadsheets (very methodical, almost ocd methodical, when it comes to my collections).

I know one guy in Poland who has 2000+. I've sent you a fb friend request.

Not sure on that one. If you email hobbydisplay@gmail.com - say I sent you and Randy will know all the answers you need.

 

[taffster74]

Accepted. 2000+ .... gotta be some nice cards in that lot.

 

[taffster74]

Done.

Had a quick look through the site, looks pretty good.

Might have to transfer the collections over when time becomes available

Yeah it can take time, although I think if u have your collection on excel like Taffy does it's very easy. I'm not 100% on that.

seems interesting, also took ages to load my side as well, seemed laggy as hell, is it more of a project for the admin? still good to see people thinking of new n different ways to do things -the spreadsheet option, after the initial work would be easy to maintain.

He is 100% trying to turn this into A) an attractive site that collectors can use instead of PB, and B) a bit of a money spinner. Perhaps give hi some feedback to improve things from your end. He's a good dude! Meanwhile PB just gets worse.

Just bumping this up as I have the dreaded "third party hosting" death knock from Photobucket. I had a look at your site @ljandkg on hobbydisplay and noticed you had the same problem too when using the photobucket source code. I was just wondering if there is any other decent options where I can transfer my images to? Otherwise it might be the death of my much hyped and anticipated maildays........ :-S

Good question. Yes I spent hours transferring across from PB to make that hobbydisplay site. PB are a disgrace.
I'm now reloading all my images in flickr. It's a terrific site. When you click on an image you then click on the 'share' arrow and it gives you a bbc code which is an image code u can use for 3rd party hosting.

Thanks for the response mate, I assume you'll have the same problem with PB source code when using Flickr though? Or have you literally started from scratch and rescanned every image? I have literally hundreds upon hundreds of images in PB and am at my wits end trying to figure out the best way around it.... I really don't want to bite the bullet and start from scratch if I can possibly avoid it.

Luckily I have all my old images on my laptop so I just bulk uploaded them on flickr. I had about 400 so it took a wee while but it's very fast. The phone app seems pretty good so it'll be all go just taking nice pics on my phone and uploading now from there.
