Photobucket is an American image hosting and video hosting website, web services suite, and online community dedicated to preserving and sharing the entire photo and video lifecycle. Sadly without notice it has disabled my and many users accounts. I have thousands of photos promoting dogs / on my blog which have now just disappeared . It seems they now what a fee for 3rd party hosting of $399 !!! It will take some time to add photos of dogs looking for a home through another source , thanks photobucket Slightly annoyed is an understatement |

yep.....furious too! Received an email this morning from photobucket re 3rd Party Hosting and wondered what it was all about - until I logged on to the Forum and all photos uploaded via Photobucket have been wiped over.....until they receive payment............... Don't know if our new man Jacob can offer any advice, or have to find another free photo hosting site................ Totally frustrating and more so because Photobucket gave no prior warning at all!

Alternatively I found the following website which isn't as user friendly as photobucket but basically does the same job and it is at the following: http://picorator.com I recently used this website to upload the pictures of Zara and they seem ok

Coming to this a bit late - this is what I've just posted to Chewie's 'Proud Moments' thread: ===== FYI - Photobucket have changed the way their site works ( boo, hiss, ). You can't direct-link to pictures without paying a monthly fee . Looks like it's retrospective - so all our previous PB links are gone?? http://photobucket.com/p500/ says: 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. It is an easy four step process: Step 1. Login to your Photobucket Account Step 2. Navigate to your library page Step 3. View a photo and click the download button Step 4. The picture will be saved to your computer ... and tells you the new pricing structure So the only way to post your PB pix is to download them and post as attachments?? Since we're a 'free' board, I don't know how much space we get for attachments?? More info as I find it

from ITPro PB was taken over by Rupert Murdoch's evil empire, then seems to have been dumped as revenues dropped?? Wikipedia ... problem is, it's part of the Lingua Franca of the interweb, so it's left holes all over the place Vigil's blog is one example, but forums/avatars/... will all get het badly

Picorator seems ok to post 'transient' images - but they're not everlasting
(from Picorator's FAQ) |
