Photobucket Alternatives

Hmm...Must be a permissions thing. I can see it both in my post and your quote.

Try clearing cookies, etc. Maybe it's pulling it from your computer??

Guess people will have to stick to using the Google photos.

Not worth spending more time on

Does that mean, the pic doesn't show for you anymore?

No, I still saw it. Totally weird.

 

[actaeon277]

Now I see it. Pic of a dog. I wonder what happened.

 

[actaeon277]

Just finally deleted my photobucket account.

Now I have to find someplace else.

Get a hosted website or just use Google

IMGUR is the best one I have found. They also have a pretty good app to upload pics from your phone.

Anyone having trouble downloading their photobucket albums?

Anyone having trouble downloading their photobucket albums?

Yes, and I think that is intentional on their part.

I just had to click download on each photo. Tedious but it works.

I just had to click download on each photo. Tedious but it works.

I had too many pictures to do that. $2.99 for the download app and it was done.

 

[actaeon277]

For me, photobucket only had copies of pics stored on my harddrive.
I just deleted everything.
Even that took awhile, cause of all the advertisements/pop-ups.

Discovered it worked on my new phone. As soon as it is donde I will be deleting

Bringing this back up. Got a notice from Photobucket about new management and old business...

I used their web contact form to say the same as I always have responded to their requests. Replace the years and years of forum pictures that folks have put countless hours into posting and I'll consider your offer.

Dunno for sure, but it looks like they might be listening? I got this back from them:

Hello Burl,

We definitely hear you and understand the frustration our customers have felt over the past several months. Our new management team is working diligently to make changes and do right by our customers.

On Wednesday, May 16th, we have restored the photos that were restricted. For more information regarding this, please visit our FAQ.

We hope that you will stick with us during these changes as we are excited about the future of Photobucket.

Kind regards,

Well, I'd have paid $20/yr.

Too bad I've deleted all my dang pics from them.
Too late.

Pricing plan.............thats what put them here. Greed.

I've been using postimages.org for free since I deleted my photobucket account, and I have had zero problems with it. Very easy to use. Just upload your picture, then copy/paste the link that says "hotlink for forums".

Imgur here. Same deal. Much easier than P-Bucket ever was and no ad pops ups.

 

[Doublehelix]

Yeah, good for them for "listening" ( ) but it is too late for me as well. At this point, Imgur is working great, and I see no need to go back to a company that tried to screw us all in the past.

The ONLY reason they are changing their policies is because it back-fired on them BIG TIME, not because they had a sudden change of heart or had ANY CONCERN for us whatsoever. As mentioned, it was all about greed and they felt that they had us all by the short hairs (are you listening YouTube?).

No thank you Photobucket.
