i see lots of pics not working......

Photo bucket :banghead: will not host 3rd party photo posting such as here without a costly upgrade(blackmail) I just deleted my entire account. Please suggest another way to post photos here>>>--->
-
They will unlock your account for a $400 year "subscription" upgrade.
It was a good service but I suspect this move will be their death mell.
I have done so many picture tutorials with photobucket it will be impossible for me to shift thousands of pictures to another hosting service.
Deep down I suspect this move is a glitch in the system and everything will come back in time.

Imgur works much better than Photobucket IMO. If you just want to post a pic from your phone then the Fastpic app is easy.
-
Second the Imgur! Works well every time. I posted a "how-to" here that ran for a bit. I'll try to locate it bring it up to the top...
I also did a how-to on the FastPic app but it disappeared.... :dunno:
-
Why can't we post directly from our computer picture files like on the other site? So much simpler. Photobucket got to the point of being nearly impossible to use some time back. Tony, I tried to set up an account on imgur and couldn't get it done. Don't know why.....maybe I'm not tech savvy enough. :confused:
-
David, I don't know why either. I did have one brother recently tell me that he had trouble but found out he needed to register to get it done.
Now, for us old guys, answering four questions can be a bit daunting but keep trying...eventually you'll hit the right key. :p

You Got It!

I've lost over 100 pages of pics from Photobucket. I'm not going to give into their ransom to recover them. Also, my laptop crashed last week so I've lost all of my pics all together.
Unfortunately all the pics I've posted here on Trad Gang and on Primitive Archer are gone and won't be available on either site anymore. I don't have a smartphone and work off of my home PC or work laptop(new as of 2 days ago) so I'll have to figure out how to resize the pics and post them directly to my favorite sites.

Thank you >>>-->

I think PB realized that they had to spend some dough to upgrade their capacity OR get rid of the non paying accounts. OTOH, their advertising rates depend on views so it will be interesting to see how it plays out.
Was PB recently bought out?
-
From what I read on their new rules, they have different levels of "pay-to-play" depending on how much data space you want to buy. The $400 per year was the top level.
-
They offered a free option so IMO they should stand by that or at least give notice of the change.
-
This sucks! Now all the pics we ever posted are gone! I'm not paying them a dime.
-
If they think that I am paying them $400 a year (!) to use their 'service', then they are sadly mistaken. The only thing I use PB for is to post pics to TG; They can rob somebody else, not me. Certainly, there is a better way for TG to get pictures posted without having to pay tribute to a site that is wanting to get you to pay a king's ransom to use it.
The Wensels wrote a book some time back, and the title of it seems appropriate about now..."And the Horse You Rode In On".

There certainly is!....more than one.

I'm baffled by this , all my Photobucket pics are working fine .
But I see others that have the message in place of the pics .
That doesn't make sense .
-
I posted pics last night and it worked fine.

I loaded the Imgur app but could not get the code from it.
I had to open Imgur in my browser on my iPhone then I copied the BBcode and paste it in the post.

I cannot even post pics from my phone anymore from photo bucket. Just upgraded to the Samsung S7 edge from my S5. with the S5 I just copied to the clipboard on my phone then held down on the post on TG on my phone and clicked the link on the clipboard and the pic was posted. Now it just posts a link to photo bucket. Wish I could get all of my photos off photobucket and put them somewhere else.
-
I think if you are using an app along with photobucket is where there's a problem. Mine works fine with no app in conjunction. Many folks use a sizing app and there is the trouble.

Cool! :thumbsup: The Iphone folks should be happy. I know they were having troubles with apps I have been using. Could not help em as I do PC and Android only.

I will be glad when TradGang upgrades happen and we can post direct from our computers, phones, IPads, whatever. Tell these third party photo storage sites to go pound sand.
-
Just remember, hosting pics costs money. If we can post pics directly to tradgang, then TG will bear the cost of storage and hosting, along with the bandwidth of viewing them.
-
Seems that everyone wants to stick their hand in your pocket these days, Pay to play I say Bull. And whoever invented photobucket should have been shot in the AZZ with a roll of bobwire the very first day.
My 2 cents

Switching over to Imgur. Oh well. All my images were on CD and my desktop as well so it's just an annoyance.
Kind of a nuisance, though. I guess you get what you pay for.
-
I stopped using PB about five years ago when their adware and spyware slowed my computer down to a snail's crawl. Been using Flickr ever since. Snap a pic on my Android, send it straight from the phone to my albums. It's that easy.

Flickr will work, it just sends the upload to click on. Not as much fun, but it will work.
