Mine are still up and hosting and I never paid their $399 fee

 

They will cease to be linked shortly, they leave them up for a while to give you a chance to pay

 

I did pay, I paid them £14.99 to remove the adds over a month ago

 

You paid money to photobucket?? why? lul oh dear.

Anyway i mean't the $399 fee as you well know. It won't last

 

I paid as trying to host pictures for some parts I was selling was a nigh are due to constant pop ups. I paid the £15 and instantly I could easily upload pictures.

As soon as I heard about the higher fee I made sure I cancelled the recurring payment on PayPal just in case they could grab more money from me.

 

But there have always been so many other free and better alternatives!

 

Well all I want to know is whos the best to use for free for hosting my photo's and how to transfer them over from Photobucket before they go **** up.

 

http://imgur.com is probably the easiest as you can get the sharing links for each picture like in sh1tbucket, create albums etc.

If you use Google apps, then really you should make use of https://photos.google.com too.

Flickr is another.

To get pics from crapperbucket to another, it's easiest to upload from the source, i.e. your PC/lappy whatever, to the new site, you do have backups right? Otherwise you will have to download them all from cackbucket then upload them. Either way you're going to have to upload all your pics to whatever new site you choose to use.

All the pics i either download or take with cameras are automatically backed up to 3 different cloud services, Google photos and Quickpic's CM cloud (for phone use) and Onedrive (for PC use).

For pics on here i just upload pics using snets built in uploader.

 

uh, that wont allow links to work, you need to pay $400 for 3rd party links to work

 

I beg to differ, look above

 

Funny enough i used ad blocker as recommended by a member on here, then photobucket works alot better. Then i downed there app again as deleted it a while ago as was slow and wouldn't work correctly. But now works fine.

 

It won't last you muppet!

 

as said i dont think it will last

 

Is your Dad famous Steve? He's not J K Simmons is he?

 

That's not me , it's Madhammer It just fitted as it was on my photobucket account and he had a thumb up

 

 

Ahem ahem, coughs


So why are all my images still visible. Maybe if the rest of people had paid £15 for the year we wouldn't be in this mess

 

You'd have to be a mug to pay anything to them to be honest, sorry.

 

one born every minute

hahahaha

 

I paid nothing and some of my images are still visible on posts, but I don't expect that to last forever.

 

Yea doesn't surprise me, they make a mess of everything they do it seems. Noticed how slow it is to load up their site these days? Absolute garbage.

 

Is there any way to get your photo's back without ponying up loads of cash?

 

You can download all of your photobucket albums to your computer easily enough, but you will need to find a different service like flickr to re-upload them to and then go into every thread you want your pictures visible to redo the links to the new hosting service. Or pay the robbing b*****ds as photobucket $400 a year. Which I won't be doing.


I tried a few different picture hosting services and found flickr to be the easiest so far.

 

Photofucket, bunch of money leeching cunts.

 

I saw this on another forum and thought it might help out some people here.
For those of you who are using google chrome:

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/d...m_source=gmail

This should sort out the blocked images.
[I have no idea who the author of the extension is, so use it at your own risk.]

But I've tried it and it works great. I can now see all the images in teh broken links again in the threads so long as I use chrome as the browser.
