Thanks Kane. It's good to hear that at least part of the process can be speeded up. (I tried that and it's just saved the html file on my hard disk as far as I can see. Could you please email me a fuller explanation? Thanks.)

Volunteers still needed...

115 albums so far... 1193 images done.

The problem with Cheverto is it orders files in order of first uploaded. So doing a bulk upload is pointless as you then have to grab each link one by one to reproduce the same order in the gallery. But, if you upload images one by one in reverse order, you can then grab all the links in bulk and just copy, paste and format.

If I could be arsed, I'd write a python script to automate the whole process. Hmm... I might have a think about that... The harder bit for me is automating the upload to cheverto.

Reckon I can do some, though stupidly busy right now. Are there discrete self contained sections I could assist with?

Ollie that's very kind. Yes, there will be discrete sections to do. Maybe get back in touch when you have some time coming up and I'll set you up then?

Along with Jimmie's sterling efforts, this project has recently had a major boost with the addition of the amazing Kane - owner of the South African air rifles forum - to the volunteer workforce. He's already done the entire Falke forum galleries and promises to do even more!

So we're well on the way to preserving these galleries free of the dreaded Photobucket and I'm confident all the pics will be transferred by the time the greedy b*****s pull the plug at the end of next year.

In the N54 galleries the image sort order is almost entirely irrelevant in any event. I use album view exclusively in Chevereto and for the most part it defaults to the same order as the original N54 thread images order. On a few of the N54 gallery threads images may be separated by subtitles/text but it is easy enough to select in the Chevereto album view which image set goes where within the post.


P.S. Now making good headway through the Diana galleries.

Sheridan gallery now completed, only a few more S's to go.

Outstanding, David, thank you.

Just a thought... what happens when Cheverto decide to start charging... it's inevitable surely.
