Photobucket Update

Use imgur, they're way better than anything else.

Just tried this one and could not figure out how to add images to an album once I created one. It kept telling me I had to unshare it from the gallery. Deleted the app and my account. I may just use Flikr but the mobile version is not all that great.

Weird, I've never had an issue with it.
 
I use to use Picasa for links but Google got rid of that, now I just use Facebook, I upload the images I want to link to forums into an FB album that has public access, then just right click on the image and use "Copy Image Address" and use that link on your forum post.
 
It's been a few years since I've used photobucket. Luckily, I was only using it for selling items and all the stuff has been sold. Regardless, it's going to suck migrating through all the build threads w/o pictures.
 
Well I'll be a sum*****. I just spent two hours moving all my photos and repairing all my forum posts with pictures. Dumping photobucket and going to Imgur.

All of a sudden half way through, the photbucket links started working again?

Did they change their minds?

Now down here in the south, being a sum***** can be a good thing. You may be a tough sum***** or a hard working sum***** or a generous sum*****...but those photobucket people are straight up SOB's.

Really? I'd have to check, I've since install a "Photobucket embed fix" app for Google Chrome. Now (at least for now), I can see all PB pictures. However, if you are like me, I've started printing out some DIY threads, but when you go to print the thread/pics, you still get the "upgrade your account" icon. To remedy this, you have to save the picture onto your PC, then "copy" and "paste" the pic onto Word, then print the thread.

Even if Photobucket remedies this, I'm still going to leave my pic there, but I'm done with them. I've heard good thing about Flickr, so I'll more than likely move my crap there.

Doesn't look like anything changed. BFADs pics all seem to be down.

What did you do? Did you pay anything at all? Some folks seem to have links working even with the cheapest plan, not $40/month.

I agree, nothing has changed. Apparently the "outrage" hasn't sunk in with them.

Regardless, if you use Chrome, try this : https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/photobucket-embed-fix/naolkcpnnlofnnghnmfegnfnflicjjgj

SO FAR, it works.

Nope, they might work, but if they've been killed they won't work for long.

I made a post in my thread using one of the non-working pics in a post about PB.
It worked for a little while, but then turned back into the square of doom.
So. Hopes stay down, they're only poking you with a stick.

Here, we can do it again. This is a pic from my TB job. It was/is dead. It's 6:11 7/6/17....let's see how long it lasts....

Well my build thread sucks now. I've been using photobucket for several years.

What is a good replacement site? I've seen imgur and Flickr mentioned. Any advice?

And how do I know that the same thing won't happen with these others?

I went to postimage for stills, Flickr for video's.

Post images is very easy to use, NO ADS.
For larger pic's to be displayed, click on the 17" screen resolution (pictured below).

Postimage.org ? free image hosting / image upload


From their site, my 01:

Finally received an email from PB regarding 3rd party hosting, a little more than a week after my pics started randomly failing without warning.
Here's the gist:

WE NOTICED THAT YOU HAVE BEEN USING
PHOTOBUCKET FOR 3RD PARTY HOSTING*
PLEASE UPGRADE TO A PLUS 500 PLAN.

Our Terms of Service does not allow 3rd party hosting with your current account level.
UPGRADE NOW

Competitive, fixed pricing Offers the only unlimited 3rd party hosting plan (Commercial and Personal Use)
Are my pictures still safe?

Yes! All your photos are still available by logging into your Photobucket Account. Photobucket has only restricted the ability to view your photos on 3rd party sites.

Can I download my Photos?
Absolutely, at any time.

photobucket | for the love of photos.
 
Maybe cached on my system. No worries...I've moved all to imgur. So photobucket can bite me now. Not sure what they were thinking.

In the same boat as everyone else who used PB. I tried Flickr which seemed great until I tried it with my iPad and I couldn't figure out how to post a picture with it. I'm now trying Smugmug which seems to work great with my iPad and iPhone (don't laugh, they were both gifts) but I haven't tried with a PC yet. I'm hoping that smugmug will work on my company's computer as PB and Imgur don't. Like a lot of folks here, I had a ton of pictures across a bunch of forums that each had a bunch of threads that are now meaningless without those pictures. I'll try to update when I have time but honestly some will probably never get fixed. I honestly hope PB crashes and burns. Better yet, to all those at PB involved with this decision, may the fleas of 10,000 camels infest your crotch!

*EDIT- For every picture that I restore on the forums, I will replace it on PB with an anti-Photobucket picture.

I use and love Smugmug (x 5 years now). It is $40 a year, but it is ad free, fast, very intuitive, excellent mobile app...etc.

If you are interested in joining use my referral code, it saves both of us a little.

If you want to see how it looks my smugmug account is linked in my signature, below.
