With a mug like that, who could possibly scold you? : )

Right? DAMN!! Why couldn't he have a face like a foot???
  By Boadicea 3 months ago  
Accepted. You are loved. :)

What happened: Mobog's photos are hosted by Flickr. A few days ago I changed the email address registered with Mobog's Flickr account to my personal email address (from an account I rarely check). I did this because as Mobog becomes more popular, I wanted to make it easy for the Flickr people to contact me for any reason.

Flickr let me change my registered email address. That was a couple of weeks ago.

Just yesterday, I noticed Flickr wasn't allowing uploads from Mobog anymore. I logged into Flickr to look into it. I was greeted with an error message stating that there were TWO Flickr accounts registered with the same email address: Mobog's Flickr account, and my personal Flickr account.

Anyway, Flickr said I couldn't login until I changed the email address of the Mobog account to something new. So I did that. And then discovered that this process had totally deleted Mobog's Flickr account. So I had to make a new one.

This is probably a bug with Flickr. They shouldn’t have deleted the account, especially since I was paying for it. But I won't fault them for it because otherwise their service works amazingly great and I love them.

I'm sorry this all happened. Oddly, it seems that pics from the old Mobog Flickr account (pre-July 21, 2008) are slowly disappearing, more and more every day.

Mobog's new Flickr account is registered with a unique email address, so I don't foresee any other problems like this.

Thanks and sorry for the inconvenience,

Pud

ok im oblivious maybe blind but i cant find the delete link to remove my missing pics what do i do
    By AxGirlxWithxAxJeep 3 months ago  
When you open up the thumbnail to the page where the picture is with the comments...there should be a small link on the left side under the picture. Let us know if you cannot find it still. Regardless...all of the old pictures that were lost should be gone now...I believe Pud did a mass delete.
   By pud 3 months ago  
Update: I just emailed Flickr. Maybe they can help. It seems most of you are okay with the deleted pics, but let's give it another couple of days before giving up hope. Thanks everyone!

i dont see what they would have to do w/ y my pics got deleted.
   By Plintus 3 months ago  
All that happened because you changed YOUR mail?! %

Super at all!.. :#

'Old picture' is not means picture of 3 days ago, as my mind.

You must write 'all pictures deleted'. :#

Now Mobog from more popular site become 'less popular site' ;

Wish best successes with change of mail!

Thanks for the straightfoward honest reply

Hey, this is a work in progress and shit happens. When you are a one man show doing development, deployment, q&a, I give you credit.

The site has been great and a lot of fun and I'm sure it will continue on and the sour pusses can go somewhere else.


    By Plintus 2 months ago  
Hey, patriot. I never seen such good, easy and comfortable sites as that. I like it for good people, good pics and no advertising. It's realy pretty place in the net!

But I never seen such good sites wich crashed and lose all content in one day! To more surprisingly, that is american site! I always thought that most made in America must be reliable! That is why I was surprised, angry and disappointed!


  By SanMan 3 months ago  
Ah well...So I guess this means they're all gone permanently and we should delete the 'placeholders'?
   By pud 3 months ago  
Yes, my guess is that they are gone permanently. :(
  By SkyDancer 3 months ago  
Thats OK...Things happen...it's not your fault!

So how do we delete the unavailable pics? Tried to delete them but they wouldn't. :(


   By pud 3 months ago  
go to your picture and click "delete"

did that not work?


    By SanMan 3 months ago  
Nope...Delete pic is not working...



     By pud 3 months ago  
ah i see
      By NewEngland 3 months ago  
yeah cant delete pics :(
       By pud 3 months ago  
deleted. though you have no pics anymore. they may come back. see big red alert at the top of the page for more info.
    By SkyDancer 3 months ago  
No unfortunantly not. *Sigh*

Anyways...The pages would look so much nicer if all the white boxes weren't there. :/


     By pud 3 months ago  
deleted. see red update at the top of the screen.
      By SkyDancer 3 months ago  
Thank you...Looks good! :)
  By pud 3 months ago  
i also noticed that, for some pics, the thumbnail still exists but the large-sized version no longer exists.

you may have noticed this if you tried to reset your background image to an old picture, only to have your background still show Flickr's "photo not available" pic.


   By Mickeylover 3 months ago  
yes, I had that problem & was wondering about it.

Thanks a million for the explanation/s. It's very much appreciated by all!

Is there any way to just do a mass delete? I'd rather not click through dozens of pics...
   By pud 3 months ago  
hmm. i suppose *i* could do a mass delete from the database of all pics older than 7/21/08.

should i?


    By fortis 3 months ago  
Might as well...imo, better than being reminded of the outage by all of the broken images.
    By SmokenHerb 3 months ago  
Yes because they won't delete.

It's time for a new dawn and let the Phoenix Rise.



    By pollyprissypants 3 months ago  
might as well.. will save me from hitting delete a bunch of times. :)
     By pud 3 months ago  
ah... yes i realize now the "delete" button doesnt work on those pics anymore. okay i spose i should delete them, or make it easy to do a mass delete.
      By pollyprissypants 3 months ago  
Whatever is easier. :)
      By fortis 3 months ago  
Thanks for wiping my old pics, sir...
    By SkyDancer 3 months ago  
If that will work.

Basically any pics older then the 21st are the white boxes anyways. Well at least thats how it is on my page.


    By KandiKane 3 months ago  
yes please if they don't reappear in a couple of days otherwise I am going to have to hand delete nearly 300 pics
  By postmastergeneral 3 months ago  
well aint you just a sukass...

using another site to make you look good

all a fukkin hoax....

mobog my fukkin ass !!!!

i kin use flickr w/o yur dumb ass pranks


   By fortis 3 months ago  
You're a retard...why would pud want to spend so much time and money on maintaining his own storage network? Better to use Flickr as that's what they specialize in. All he has to worry about is writing slick ass code.
   By pud 3 months ago  
i use flickr because they provide an inexpensive and easy way to host images. flickr is great.
    By fortis 3 months ago  
Exactly.
    By ydi99 3 months ago  
Pud uses Flickr, so what. He offers a way to communicate 1 on 1 or reach multiple people and share images in a way that is unique, like Yafro & Orfay. He does not charge us anything, does not inundate us with advertising. I would not permanently host my pictures here, and if I ppaid to post a cell pic, I would save acopy to my hardrive. Thanks for the medium to share and comment!
   By evysixx 3 months ago  
And I'm sure you can't get the same amount of views on flickr itself. ;) Just sayin'.
  By RenaissanceldyMonika 3 months ago  
I tried deleting the blank pics, and they would not delete....
  By Boadicea 3 months ago  
Thank you for your honesty and quick attention to detail here. I appreciate all you do immensely. :)
  By MamaKin 3 months ago  
personally, i'd prefer to leave the old posts, even if blank. some of the conversations/comments are fun to go back and read.
  By MamaKin 3 months ago  
oh....and i forgot to ask...might the flickr admins be able to recover the account?
   By pud 3 months ago  
i asked, they cant.
    By MamaKin 3 months ago  
ah well. at least this didn't happen after collecting 4 years of photos, as what happened with yafro.......or even 2 years as with orfay ^_^

i'll have fun reposting!


     By AxGirlxWithxAxJeep 3 months ago  
NO DOUBT! I learned the hard way with Yafro to "backup my stuff" in a big way. Never host your photos in a place like this....always have backups! :D
      By MamaKin 3 months ago  
i still haven't learned! every time something happened with yafro, i had a puter crash. then the same with orfay!!! o_0



       By Mickeylover 3 months ago  
lol, silly woman!

;0)


       By AxGirlxWithxAxJeep 3 months ago  
well, doesn't THAT just suck? :D AND I learned a HARD lesson on Yafro. I lost EVERYTHING. Thankfully my adoring fiance keeps everything I send him etc. SO I was able to recover quite a bit.
   By Mickeylover 3 months ago  
I thought deleting them was a good idea.... until I read *this*. lol

I agree with you MamaKin... not to mention that some of those conversations are or might be ongoing.


   By pud 3 months ago  
actually maybe they can fix it -- i asked differently.
    By Mickeylover 3 months ago  
lolol... thought this was funny! Sometimes the "wording" makes all of the difference. lol
  By BlackRoseKnight 3 months ago  
Well shit happens. Gotta move on. Im cool as long as things are working right now.
  By Ele 3 months ago  
All I want is A home that wont be telling us in a week we have to move again.

Pics are not hard to re post.

Thanks


   By pud 3 months ago  
mobog isn't going anywhere. just keep backups of your pics :-)
    By Mickeylover 3 months ago  
"mobog isn't going anywhere."

That's NICE to know, and hopefully will ease some people's anxiety about having to find a new home.

  By xbabygurlukx 3 months ago  
oh dear.. im sure this mishap isnt going to bother most people im sure. xxx
   By SmokenHerb 3 months ago  
Dang one of the cutest moderators we ever had on orfay! Big Howdy to ya!

Sorry I got a tad off subject but who can blame me. W00T!



  By oldetooles 3 months ago  
I like my blanks :P

...and O.o Well!!! Shit happens andit isn't the end of the world. I am used to that after yafro & orfay; they're pics and if haven't learned and you don't have them saved elsewhere it's your own fault!


  By pud 3 months ago  
Update: I just emailed Flickr. Maybe they can help. It seems most of you are okay with the deleted pics, but let's give it another couple of days before giving up hope. Thanks everyone!



  By HarmonyLynn 3 months ago  
much better now...thanks:)
  By skyblue420 3 months ago  
Well, I for one love this site, the other ones dont compare.. they are too sleazy, or have too strict of policies.. i will stick it out and, actually, dont mind getting to go back through and reposting the other ones :)

I hope it all works out for you Pud sweety, dont let it bother you too much, Im sure your stressing more than anyone, cause this is like your baby

Stay sweet!!! MUAHH!!


  By bitchmouse 3 months ago  
boy you really just now lost all my photos what the hell
  By Rubes 3 months ago  
I guess we (the mobog members) have to consider ourselves lucky that we DO have a place to post pics and converse with friends. So many bitched and complained and cried and whined that orfay was down and then gone. Many have tried so many other sites and now finally we find something which is probably the closest we are going to get to the same set up as Orfay. We don't even have to buy powerups. Yes, there might be a few bugs here and there but we are all together, one big happy (?) orfay family and we have finally found another place.

I don't understand why people are getting upset. The only thing that happened is that a mistake was made and pictures were lost. No big deal to most?

Alot of people are worried about this site going down but I guess we have no control over what happens here or on any other site.

Just saying....

You are doing the best you can and it is appreciated


   By SmokenHerb 3 months ago  
Big hug Ruby!
    By Rubes 3 months ago  
Well its true! ;)

The biggest thing that usually aggravates users is not being informed. Keep us informed and we will stay happy.
