I will try again and hope my post does not disappear again. Back in Oct 2012 a member named Tomcat posted a number of railroad flats that we could use however some 9 years later these flats all have a Photobucket overlay on them. Could some one tell me what I need to do to use some of these flats again. Thanks

Bob D As long as you surface as many times as you dive you`ll be alive to read these posts.
Photobucket began charging to use their site to store photos. If he hasn't coughed up the subscription fee, the pictures won't appear, just a Photobucket logo.

Photobucket experienced a major outage, I believe, just before or just after Christmas. While my account was somewhat useable a few days later, those of many others are still not yet working at all.Mine seems to have now fully returned, and staff there has re-assured me that no ones' photos are gone, and they will eventually re-appear if they were visible prior to the outage.

If I'm not mistaken, photo storage on photobucket is still free, but hosting for photos, if you want to post them here or elsewhere, f'rinstance, will cost you, although not the almost $500.00 yearly that was originally proposed.

I can no longer log into my free photobucket account. I assume the pics are gone.

Are you referring to the signs Tomcat posted for use? If so either he or someone else doing the same thing showed up on a Facebook site making available all those signs again. A search may be in order.

But they are signs not flats.

No I am referring to the 7 pages of flats he posted. I also know of the many signs he posted but those I think are still available without the watermark
IIRC, there was some issue about perimissions to use some of the textures he used to construct the building flats, so Tomcat took the building flats down.

You could send Tomcat a personal message and ask. I looked on his facebook page and did not see anything that I would call flats and many of his building pics are from Google earth. His pictures are never ending so I did not get to the end.
Firefox doesn't work for sending personal messages in this forum, you have to use Chrome or something else.

Despite the shortcomings of this Forum's PM system, I've never had any difficulties using Firefox for PMs.
If you go to that page of his images there is a link I posted for download those flats as you call them are in there
What program do you use to open it? Windows says It can't open it unless I pick a program, or search the web for one.

Sorryabout that it's a rar file winrar is the program but you can use 7zip and it is free I thought windows had a default program that would work maybe not

Nope, never heard of those, sounds like something I have to download.
Yes you do 7zip has been around for years so has winrar I use both
there is a free download for winrar gets you a trial version good for 30 days
7zip is totally free it's an open source program
I'll pass, I never have the need for any exotic file systems, until just now, trying to open this.
Never mind, maybe the OP is in to this stuff and can use your info.
Thanks anyway.
My problem now is, the first time it asked to pick a program, I picked Win. Picture Viewer, which won't open it, now when I try to do this all again, I don't get to choose a program, it tries to use Win, Picture viewer.
I don't know how to set it back to where I can pick a program.
Oh well.
Neither one of those are exotic file systems they are simple compression programs for large files I used them for art work dealing with major colleges all over the US and companies
Your file system is what is in windows
and as for exotic adobe illustrator corel draw photoshop those are exotic
That rar file is 320mb if I pull all the files out of it 1.23 GB
Read what I posted just before you posted. I can't choose a file any more.
right click on the file should give you a window to choose what to use
Now I can't even do that, as the earlier post you made with the link is gone.
Missing post and threads have been plaguing this forum the last few days.
What a mess this place is!
Don't understand my post is still there with the link to the download
in case you can't find it https://workupload.com/file/ySaTPfL
If you downloaded the rar file it's on your pc right ? you right click on the file and it should come up with a window pick open with then choose which program to use
I've scrolled to the top of this thread and back down many times, I don't see it, or the two pictures you posted.
Is it in a different thread?
Never mind, it's in the thread that Henry linked to. I try again.
yes it is and I just put the link in my post
Oh well, I'll just quit. Right clicking doesn't give me a program choice, since I first tried in Win. Pictures, it keeps using that program.
Thanks for all your responses.
Are you using win10
If so it's a bit different then just right clicking
https://www.simplehelp.net/2016/04/19/how-to-open-rar-files-in-windows-10/
No Win 7, and in a month I'm getting a new one as support for 7 has ended.
I do have my laptop in the office with 10, maybe I'll try that.
I'm using win 7 so the right click should work Ok right click the rar file about the fourth entry down in that window it says "open with" if you have 7 zip installed it will show it or choose default program
