Comcast / XFinity removes PWP - What does it mean for you?

Wayne - I'm guessing you'll move this, that's fine. Should probably be in the Tech forum but since I hang out here I thought I'd at least have a place in line in here.


PWP - For those on Comcast/XFinity, Personal Web Pages, or, the place where a lot of people using Comcast put pictures to then share here on RVNet. Well, as of Oct8 it will be gone.

There's a lot of places to have pictures hosted, but I've posted SOOOO many pictures over the years, all stored on my Comcast account, there's just no way I can go back and update each and every link to every thread I've ever posted.

All of my posts with pics will lose their pics.

Moral of the story - for those who have used their personal Comcast space to put pictures here on RVNet, come Oct8, they will be gone. Not only removing the service, but deleting anything you've stored there. Links will no longer work, pictures will be gone. Take time to back up your stuff soon before it's gone.

Comcast's published notification
  • We never bothered to activate ours. Any idea what is their referred-to "special offer" ?
  • I am okay with this thread in the Truck Camper Forum. Personally, I think it should be in all of the Forums, but that is not my call.

    Times past I had the same experience with imagecave, I think that was the name. On a few forums I wrote how to's on various subjects. They were of little value without the photos. It has really discouraged me from making a post that requires several photos and lots of time.

    I do have to go through the "Photo Thread - Post a Photo of Your Truck Camper Here" from time to time and delete the posts with broken links. It is very time consuming.
