Larry No, Photobucket just changed their Terms of Service and you now have to pay $400 a year to have the ability to post photos hosted by them into forums. The above images are on my web site......which means I'll be using my website from now on as my image hosting site! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RCAFFAN Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 (edited) Since we can see them I suspect that it is not Photobucket since they are still screwing up his signature photo....... P.S. I see Dave just beat me in response... Edited June 29, 2017 by RCAFFAN Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Roof Posted June 29, 2017 Author Share Posted June 29, 2017 (edited) Just checking to see if posting a link to photos on Facebook works........? Edited June 29, 2017 by Dave Roof Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RCAFFAN Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Actually this is what the "Test Post Clubhouse" is for but you wouldn't have got as fast answers there... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tosouthern66 Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Well I guess I will no longer be able to post pics. Not sure what I am going to do now. Need to figure out how to get my pics off Photo Bucket and close that down. This is going to stop me from posting my build pics for the USN/USMC Legacy Squadron Group Build in September.

RKic Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 What?! $400? To southern don't freak out, just use postimage.org Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spectre711 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 The Photobucket free accounts no longer allow linking. They just screwed themselves cause now there is no reason to use that piece of junk. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

k5ikl Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 This is from my account in photobucket. Just did a copy from my library to the forum. Is that $400 for something other than I might be using? I might be a bit confused. Cheers, Jerry Quote Link to post Share on other sites

k5ikl Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 (edited) I just signed up on postimage to see how it works. Uploaded this one to it. Seems to be a lot easier to use than Photobucket. Edited July 1, 2017 by k5ikl Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spectre711 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 (edited) Noticed that some accounts on Photobucket are still showing photos. Could be pay accounts but I dont Know. Edited June 30, 2017 by Spectre711 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dnl42 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Yeah, can't figure it out, I don't pay. But, I haven't put a new image on PB for a while now. Went to postimage.org a couple of years ago because just looking at my photos on PB is a whack-a-mole with their ads--completely infuriating! I tried Google, but getting a direct URL to the image is a complete PITA. Maybe PB is looking to see if people will pay. before they rigidly apply their new rules? That or they want to get out of the business and this is a way to hasten the end... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'll find a new place to land. It is just pissing me off that the greedy companies don't seem to get it. I hope the PB and those that own it go under and have to live like us poor folks do. Maybe then they will learn humility. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I like the option they give to automatically resize the image for the web, so you don't have to do it.

The images on my Photobucket account were still showing on different websites, and I do not have a pay account. After signing up for Flickr & Postimage, I deleted all my Photobucket images. Of course it took me forever just to log on, with all the flippin' ads! Larry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
11bee Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Question- if I don't pay PB, will all the previous pics I've posted on various build logs go away? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spectre711 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 All of the pictures I've checked on different sites did. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
janman Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Reading all this makes me so freaking furious. Greedy bastards. Ruining guys' hobby for god's sake. I still haven't decide what to do for all the build logs. Because pay I won't. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rex Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Wow, Steve, didn't know you had enabled that feature. That saves me a ton of work. I can just upload on here just as fast as on my own page,,,,,,saving me from having to upload "ARC only" photos over there to link to on here. (I was sort of wondering about how much space I would kill over there in order to have a place to link from,,,,,,,,,you saved me some space by enabling uploads,,,,,,now, there is no reason for me to do it twice.) Your post also kept me in the Group Build that is starting in September. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
