OldRUSHfan Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Don't start up with Photobucket for awhile... They're having trouble keeping things 'ship shape' as it were. And I've been there for free since I started up in the early 2000s. Now they want me to 'subscribe'. I told them "FIX THIS PLACE AND I MAY consider it" Anyway, the reason you see all the 'broken pic' images in my sig and posts, are because Photobucket IS my photo hosting site. This really SUX(6000). :banana: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Photobucket's been having problems for years. I rarely can go over there and not get 1 million pop-up pages. I usually give up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually give up. I have about 99% of 'popups' blocked on my browser, and also I have ADBLOCKER as one of the ad ons to my browser.... almost NO popups now....except the ones generated by Photobucket itself, and that's only the 'subscribe' one. http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j223/OldRUSHfan/Banana%20World/drinking%20sunbtathing%20%20banana%20sm.jpg Edited June 2, 2017 by OldRUSHfan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I switched to Imgur recently. It is free also and pretty much the same thing but without all the slowness and those weird pop ups. I left my old stuff in my Photobucket account but started putting anything new in my Imgur one. Edited June 2, 2017 by blueschica 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
custom55 Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 I hate photobucket. I'm on it but recently it's been very slow and there is zero tech support. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Babycat Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 I had Photobucket for quite a while - it enabled me to send the pics by email to the account, and then an email would come back a short while later, saying: "Congratulations! You have successfully uploaded your photo". Anyway, after a while, I tried to put in another one and this time no returning email appeared. So I checked Photobucket in case it had uploaded the image, but alas not. Maybe it was delayed, which is understandable. So I tried again with the same image and... nope. So I tried with a variety of others. Nope. Nada. Zilch. No returning emails. No nothing. In the end, I thought: "Screw this for a lark" and deleted my account. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean just ads. I couldn't even upload anything. I have pop up blocker on my computer and I still was getting diverted to funky pages. It's even worse on my phone. It's a rare day that I can go over an access my photos normally. I've heard they've had a lot of problems with viruses there. I believe it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greyfriar Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 What is this 3rd party hosting shit about? Does that mean that photobucket isn't free any longer? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Your_Lion Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 (edited) What is this 3rd party hosting shit about? Does that mean that photobucket isn't free any longer?As of now, it's only free as an online photo album...But you have to pay if you want to post those pictures on another site...which is the entire point in my having a photobucket account in the first place! I got those 3rd-Party hosting messages some time last week in place of my signature gifs.I have since closed my photobucket account, and opened an Imgur account, which, so far, I have no complaints with.

EagleMoon Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 I opened an Imgur account but it's kind of weird. Still trying to figure out what they are trying to be. It's kind of like an odd cross between Instagram and Twitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
