Photobucket... WTF!! - Page 9

**PG2** · 19-04-2018, 11:11 PM

FOR ANYONE WHO HAS LOST THEIR PICS DUE TO POSTIMAGE CHANGING THEIR ADDRESS

I have been fixing the links as I come across them. If you want your threads fixed either PM myself or a moderator from that area.

**BFIIGhiaZF6** · 21-04-2018, 10:19 AM

Thank you for fixing my build thread PG2

I paid up to PB last year

so that I could transfer most of my pics to AFF and give me time to find an alternative to them that wasn't charging like a wounded bull

, i've been using Postimage since, its free and despite this little glitch it has been meeting my needs.

I had thought that PB might have come up with a cheaper alternative

, but they haven't, so have told them I will not be renewing my overpriced subscription, the renewal is automatic and you need to advise by email that you are cancelling your subscription, i am now in the process of deleting all my pics (I have copies) lodged with them.

My AFF gallery is full to capacity and I am now using Postimage to post my pics, wouldn't it be nice if AFF could give us pic fans more space in our gallery, I for one would be happy to pay for it and it would be a boost to the AFF coffers

Just to make you aware, around mid day yesterday all postimage links in AFF were updated to the new postimage address by wonders of computer and AFF chairman russellw..

Therefore all photos in AFF linked to postimage should now be working.

Is there any way of deleting all their free adverts that have replaced pics

Just get the Photobucket Hotlink Fix, for free, and then you get everything back anyway, for free????

**BFIIGhiaZF6** · 11-06-2018, 11:41 PM

Take the opportunity to replace the PB pics in your threads by using AFF gallery, Postimage or other free 3rd party hosting providers whilst you can see the PB pics, it took me quite some time to do but I managed to get most of my threads fixed, the PB free period won't last if you don't pay up

I had a $500

commerce account of 2000 pics with PB but they have made me no special offers nor done me any favours

, so I have deleted all my pics and closed my account with them, am now using AFF gallery and Postimage, I will be donating the money I save to AFF to upgrade my membership from Gold to Platinum when the time comes.

**BFIIGhiaZF6** · 08-10-2019, 01:52 PM

Why are all the PB pics blared all of a sudden

Yeah, I'm seeing a lot of blurred pictures here lately. Thought it was me.

**FoxtrotGolfXray 5.0** · 09-10-2019, 02:21 PM

Surprised Gaso didn't chime in with "try postimage.org. Free and easy to use."

Is another option to imgur.

**Peuty** · 08-10-2019, 02:38 PM

Yep, trying to get people on board for paid memberships. All mine are blurred too.

Oh well, I had a good run.

**BFIIGhiaZF6** · 08-10-2019, 03:26 PM

Greedy BASTARDS

, go with the AFF Gallery, PostImage or Flickr, I use all of them.

**GasoLane** · 08-10-2019, 03:42 PM

Did you renew your annual subscription?

I did mine last June, for the original discounted price and my pics seem to be ok.

Yes mine is set on auto for when the subscription is due and mine are okay. If members want free photo storage try imgur.com for a free account.

**PG2** · 09-10-2019, 10:59 PM

Just a reminder to everyone, that if you want to move your photos that have been blurred by photobucket over to another hosting site contact a moderator for that area and they will re-establish your new links so they display.

Venomous1 · 10-10-2019, 08:44 AM

I've been using Imgur so far what you goes think of them?

**BFIIGhiaZF6** · 10-10-2019, 09:13 PM

So once again PB

, have ruined the enjoyment of all forum members and are holding their users to ransom

whilst continuing to post a free advert for themselves on a blurred pic

.

They should not be allowed to continue getting away with this behaviour!!!!!

They deserve nothing less than to be deserted by all of their users and BLACK BANNED

cat007 · 13-11-2019, 11:41 AM

I'm using https://imgbb.com/

Works great!

HI PSI · 14-11-2019, 02:38 PM

I used to run an extension on Chrome that allowed the picture to still be viewed. Does it not work anymore?

**BFIIGhiaZF6** · 15-11-2019, 10:01 AM

Plenty of free alternatives to PB

,

I'm using AFF gallery (limited capacity), Flickr https://www.flickr.com/ (limited capacity) and PostImage https://postimages.org/ (unlimited capacity) all free.

Fed · 15-11-2019, 10:23 AM

I upload straight to the forum after first running the pic through http://webresizer.com/ setting the width to 800.
Need to remember how to display full size now.
