Photobucket demanding $399 to link to third party sites

[M-technik-3]

Hate Photobucket's web page and spam page. I have been enjoying flickr for last 7 years or so.

You guys shouldve been using Flickr or 500px for years.

IMO your fault not seeing how scummy photobucket was in the first place about pictures, even imgur was a better option.

100% of this.


Also:

Friends don't let friends use Photobucket.

And the reply from a Photobucket rep has a broken image, which should tell everyone all they need to know.

Yup, jumping ship.

The website has been unusable due to ads for a while now anyway. I only access from the app.

Yeah its been getting shitty the past years, super slow and totally filled with non stop ads, i'm in the middle of print screen and cropping the pictures to re upload on flickr

Way to be a dick Will... Its a pain in the ass to move everything over. Just the 300+ pics for ONE album was a huge pain. I have quite a bit of pics, but I did start to see the writing on the wall about this a little while ago

It wont let me even download my pictures, they are pretty much gone, I have thumbnails, that is it. really sucks, i switched over to tapatalk to post pics, no hosting needed

[Shock(/\)ave]

Just use https://postimg.org/.

It's by far the best option out there right now, and they've proven very user oriented through several rough periods they've been through.

Flickr is good for me. So is Imgur

I moved my 300+ pictures of the aluminum monster and was avoiding having to go back through and repost them from Flickr... looks like I need to now

[ELVA164]

Ugh. I absolutely don't have the time for this right now, but now I have to get everything off there and register somewhere else. Is Flickr still okay?

[SkiFree]

Well, this has affected my account. I'm downloading all my images now and deleting the account. This will pretty much clear out the build thread, but I'm not sure what else I can do at this point.

Yep, there was a thread about this on another forum, and I've noticed a handful of threads with pictures down. I also noticed that PB has disallowed adblockers on their site, which makes using the site extremely frustrating. I deleted everything from my account and deleted it yesterday. I saw that I had been there since May 2006. As they've updated their site periodically, it has always gotten worse, not better, and I first noticed it going downhill a year or two after signing up. I'm glad I didn't have thousands of photos on there like other people.

FYI, I was able to download (with extreme frustration due to their slow ass site plastered in ads) entire albums off their site. Or are the pictures not showing up there either, and they're basically forcing you to pay $400 to get the pictures?

[MR E30 325is]

Still looks like spam to me.

But I feel ya. Had the same issue. Also an avid photobucket user from 2004. I still have some pictures, but I definitely lost out on a lot.

Oh well.

[FireFight]

Your title makes this look like spam. Might want to use proper grammar.

Whoops haha fixed
