Yeah this is bullshit, something's up. I haven't uploaded anything since last Tuesday, and I was fine until yesterday. Either all of a sudden someone started hot-linking the shit out of my pictures, or they're trying to f*ck me (or us) over, because I haven't touched my photobucket account in a week.

 

And I'm not upgrading to Pro, I just upgraded my Flickr to Pro, I'll use that.

 

Oh, and they sent me the email on the 20th, saying I had less than 5gb left to use. I haven't uploaded ANYTHING since then! What the hell?!? Oh well, I just have to wait until 9th of next month to get my shit back. And I KNOW for a fact I havent' uploaded 25gigs worth of stuff this month. I barely upload anything on there.

Yeah what the hell, I've uploaded 7 pictures!

If that somehow adds up to over 25 gigs, I have a donkey licking my balls right now.

That bandwidth error has nothing to do with what you've put ON there. It's their system complaining that too much is being downloaded from there.

 

One thing that has always irritated me about Photobucket is that they don't provide usage / hit reports (at least as far as I've seen). It'd be nice to see # of hits and where they're coming from...

That's ridiculous... And for so many people to suddenly be getting the error at once, something's fishy.

 

I think they just told all the people that work there to find someone's account, and just spend all day opening their pictures. :(:P

Weren't quite a few of those people hosted on your account? Their sig pics, I mean..?

 

I know my sig pic alone - just on here - has been hit over 12k times this month. If I were on more boards, it'd be a lot more than that. Multiply that sig pic by a few people on a few boards, you could start chewing through some bandwidth... especially if you have some big ol' post hoes who are posting a LOT on different boards... :mad:

 

EDIT : OH, yeah... I almost forgot... that last sentence of your's... Yeah, I'm sure they'd rather go open all of YOUR pictures a bunch of times, rather than hot chicks ... or even giraffes! :mad:

Yeah I guess that could be it. Gotta start telling people not to host their sigs from my account... :lol:

I'm reading your posts and am trying to figure what you're talking about.Is there a short or easy explanation to ''bandwidth'' and 25g. is all about? I know our sig pics are linked to an online photo hosting site and that's about it.BTW when I bring the pointer over top of the ''Upgrade to Pro'' window in the lower left hand corner of the screen there it shows a web address to MySpace....

take it easy on me guys,you know I'm an old f*ck and some things take time to sink in :lol:

Mine is exceeded. And i am not paying to upgrade to pro. Bunch of BS if you ask me. I tried imageshack too, but photobucket is better IMO!

Storage space is how much you can store on their site.

 

Bandwidth is basically how much 'traffic' is generated going to specific files on the site. So, if you have a 100kb file and it is accessed 1000 times, you have generated 100,000kb of transfers (bandwidth) from that site for that file.

 

Does that make sense?

Yeah something just doesn't seem right that so many people's accounts are suddenly exceeded all at one time. I know it happened to a couple guys on GMFS also.

      J&L OIL SEPARATOR CO

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Just did an injector/HPFP replacement on Pepper at 192,400 miles; close enough to 200K, RIGHT? (If 200K is considered life end and to me it isn't). But hey, to each his own.    Have never run a catch can on this vehicle. Back side of every valve looked like a new valve spray painted semigloss black. Port walls looked 'neat' (all a normal result of passive EGR via VVT) Zero build up even in AFM cylinders. Just color. It uses no measurable oil and never has.    At 155,000 I put her on E-85 and a borescope of the cylinders at plug change showed very clean pistons and valve faces. The replaced injector tips looked new. (It was the pump piston seal that was leaking). Oh well, have six good backups.    Still gets 28 mpg on gas (highway average) and over 20 (highway) on alky. UOA's look good and runs as good now as it did when I bought it. Better in fact.    What improvement would a Catch Can provide this motor?     And given all this I expect that IF I installed one I'd see some water/gas/oil vapor accumulation. Byproducts of normal combustion.   Having said that, IF my motor used an appreciable amount of oil I'd consider it a useful 'crutch' until I had the situation corrected OR if bore polished, until I junked it or rebuilt it to stave off repeated plug fouling.    I'm not telling you what I THINK. But what its DONE.

      Starting a new thread regarding mounting my 2014 OEM wheels to my 2026

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Love the look. I'm a SCSB lover myself.    Two items. 1.) A spacer changes scrub radius but this also changes when we use wheels of different offsets. A little isn't a big deal. 2.) Steel wheels, alloy wheels all have different thickness. Same effect on the stud and lug nut as a spacer. When hub centric the wheel isn't supported by the stud. It's supported by the hub. The stud just keeps it all together.

      2016 Sierra 5.3L L83 new injectors now runs rich.

      By JAI3 · Posted

      I had a evap sol go bad a couple weeks ago. . I replaced it.  While watching live data at the time I saw I had some cylinder 1 misfires. No MIL but on live data I could see ~50 at startup and about 70 more after an hour a drive all on cyl 1.  I also noticed that the LTFT were -5% to -15% always.  And that bank 2 is always -3% richer than bank 1. Even across all driving modes, city, highway, etc it’s always 3% richer than bank 1. So I start with the misfire. Swapped coil, plug, and plug wires from 1 to 3. No follow. I got an Injector reseal kit, pulled the D/s injector rail, swapped #1 and #3 injectors, resealed them, reinstalled and retested.  The misfire followed to 3. So I ordered and replaced all 8 injectors, spark plugs, and plug wires. Also replaced the 1 time use fuel pipes under the intake manifold.  Injectors that were in the truck since new were  Part # 12668390.  I replaced them with # 12742701 Got from RockAuto. Pretty certain they’re genuine and the correct ones. I called a friend at a parts store who told me “the 12742701 were the correct superseded part # for the originals I was replacing”. So started truck after replacing all that and it’s running -15 - -30 LTFTs. I reset the fuel trims with GDS2 and drove it for a 60 miles trip each way. There have been no changes in the LTFTs.  I checked if the HPFP was leaking into the crankcase. I removed the pvc and watched the trims. No difference.  I checked the alcohol content and it was at 10%  I’m out of ideas here. Truck seems to run great. Just always rich on the fuel trims.  Anyone with any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.  I ran an injector balance test just for the heck of it and it came back this. I’m confused.  I have gds2 and some other diag tools if anyone knows of anything I should test next.
