Photobucket linking goes away, at least for me

[Magneto]

I just tried to post something for sale on INGO and got the notification from PB that I can't do that anymore. Then I thought I might give them a few dollars a month for it but they wanted to charge me $399 a year! What a bunch of . I use it to back up photos and put images on INGO, which was never much AT ALL. It really pisses me off they tried to pull that on me when I barely did it at all.

I have 76 pages of pics and Vids in the bucket and I can not get them out of there. They are hostage apparently.

TinyPic for now I guess.

I've had trouble with Tinypic since PB started holding hostages. I have to turn off AdBlocker and the crap that "TP" (very fitting azzwipe stuff) is dishing out is messing up the photo transferring.
There's an obvious fix for this.

I wonder how the pay to play plan is working out for the bucket.

isn't tiny pick a ohotobucket product? I would not waste time with it, because it too may eventually hold your photis hostage.

It is so unnerving, on this site and others, that some folks have put so much time and trouble into documenting details of projects and procedures only to turn into this.

I'm with CM, I want my 10gig of pics back without paying the ransom. So I'll be gentle for now.

I hope PB straightens up and makes provisions to accommodate their users. It's fine to charge whatever they want going forward. Just don't screw everyone and everything that made them what they are today.

I fear the PB is gonna fool around and **** off some with the skills to make things difficult for them going forward?

Looks like the market is working. The go-to service changing policies to what its customers don't want. They're looking for other services. I wouldn't be surprised if someone bilt a better photobucket, much like Facebook became the better my space. Either PhotoBucket does what its users want or it dies. Well. Unless it can find a way to crony up to government and compel membership.

Just checking to see if I can still upload from the app

If you have to check, you are likey good, for now. Problem is how long will it last?

A bigger problem is supporting the company responsible for jerking the rug out from under years of intricate detail documented forum information that is now this:

Support PhotoBucket and you are supporting countless hours of educational knowledge that is now lost.

Now that PB has decided to block hosting. I can't get Flikr to embed, but the links work. Any suggestions?

 

[bwframe]

A lot of folks have been using Imgur. I am also, but it's a bit of a learning curve. Haven't figured how the app will auto upload or set to private without doing it individually each upload. It's a quick wake up when you inadvertently post "public" and immediately get chat commentary notifications, from anyone on Imgur, about your gun picks.

Dang it.
Mines also gone.

I realllllly need to put my pics someplace else.

I don't know nuttin', about no computers ..... BUT,

can't you just get one of those things, that plugs into the computer,

and download pics, then they are on the "stick",

and you can do what you want .....

Does that make sense to anyone ?????

 

[SSGSAD]

I just deleted my PB account. Choose other and told them why I closed it.

I have my new web server running, an app to upload and resize to that site on demand, so I'm set. I just need to install a gallery app to be able to view my pics by thumbnail.

When I look at my thumbnail, I don't see any pics .....

You can't show pics to INGO from a "stick".

I hope, you all, can get your pics .....

THEN, let it "die" .....

Talking about photo bucket ..... (mods) ..... NO HAMMER, needed ..... please .....

A little clarification this morning. Apparently Plus Members are grandfathered in for 3rd party hosting and linking. Because I pay $3/mth for extra storage and ad-free, I can still use all of the PB services until December 31, 2018... at which point my $3/mth would have to upgrade to $399/yr for the exact same service.

At least gives me a while to decide on a better option or setup my own host server.

 

[KLB]

$399 a year? Why would anyone pay that when you can just pay for to have a website hosted for less than 1/3 of that?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but that $36 a year deal is over, right? Now the only option for us who didn't book into "plus" is to pay $399 a year, correct?

 

[grunt soldier]

I have never paid for it and am having no issues posting. If it's going to change is there an easy way to get my 800 pictures stored to something else or am I just screwd?
