ADMINS: I'm sure you know Photobucket, Dropbox and several other image hosting services have moved to paid service now. Dropbox is going even further and DROPPING publicly shared pic links entirely. this SUCKS obviously.
Updating existing links on posts is a major undertaking. you could potentially help here by supporting a "batch update" capability. Here's what I mean:
I use dropbox. A typical pic link looks like this, based on the folders I have in my image hosting services.
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/783836/callie/0417/callie-shadowline%20europaint.JPG
As long as I copy the entire folder structure intact to a new service, I should be able to modify the picture link by replacing the red part only.
It would be GREAT if I can tell r3v "hey change any pic link on any post I have made that starts with [the red part] with [replacement part]"
otherwise, who the hell is going to take the time to update their links on each post manually? I have several thousand pics posted on this forum.
thoughts? anyone else asked this question before?
