Photobucket is no longer usable

[ac4760]

I guess that depends on how you use Photobucket. I am a casual user and only used 3rd party hosting to show cards here. Don't need it for any other purpose so to pay close to $500 per year for 3rd party hosting didn't require much of a debate. I'm out.

Should I jump on the wagon and switch from Photobucket to flicker??

In my opinion, I think you should. It's doesn't take that long, either.

Thanks guys, Yeah I started seeing other members having flicker, For every scan I do I store it in a folder on my desktop so should be a easy transfer. :) See how it goes

It appears that since I already pay Photobucket $5 per month for extra storage that I'm good for the 3rd party thingy until Dec 31, 2018. And I should be dead by then anyways, so it's win-win for me!

Nice job organizing! I should have done that originally. If you're missing any scans or albums, you can always download the entire album off PB. It takes like 3 seconds to do.

Lucky! That's a pretty sweet deal then. Will you switch to Flickr (or something else) now or later?

This isn't working. How do I get them to show up instead of being a link?

Click on the photo you want to share, click the arrow on the bottom right, and then post the BBCode.

Wonderful! Worked like a charm. Thank you so much

I haven't been on here in a while so just seeing this thread. I gotta say I never much liked how slow PB seemed when viewing it. Paying may relieve the creator from ads but the average user who clicks on your link gets blasted. Being an Android user, I must give a second recommendation for Google Photos. Super easy to create albums and a drag and drop re-order interface. Very quick! I can't see a way to search someone's archive for a specific player or anything, but I don't see how you could do that with PB or Flickr either. You just have to manually create specific albums I guess???
