So it seems photobucket has just pulled the plug on image hosting.
Sad times
-
I read about this too, although I don`t use photobucket much anyway.
What are the options?
-
Copy your entire picture collection over to another hosting website then trawl through your posts (over the last 12 years in my case) and change every single image link
Yeah like I've got time for that, greedy b*stards
-
As stopped using photobucket as soon as they changed the layout and couldnt figure it out. Imgblur is where its at.
But i neither have the time to go through 8 years of posts to change what is gone.
Good job i have pictures of my old cars though
-
It's OK. Pay them $400 ransom and you get all your image links back.
:angry:
-
Such a shame, think of all the now redundant build threads and useful info that has been lost :(
-
Yep, they've effectively killed off historical topics on forums
-
Yeah I just come back to this
Fecking stupd!! I think most people would pay £40 per year but £40 a month??!!! :angry:
-
I just created an account with imgur. Might replace all my image links one cold, quiet, dark evening :-/
-
I used to use Photobucket, I've been using Dropbox for a while now

WE NOTICED THAT YOU HAVE BEEN USING
PHOTOBUCKET FOR 3RD PARTY HOSTING
No sh1t. That was your whole reason for being.
100 million users. Get 0.1% to sign up for insane $399 plan, make 39.9 million dollars. Retire.

:whistle: :whistle:
So alternatives are not many that I can say its the not hotlinking in T&C's that’s giving me issues!
If I can find a place to dump the pictures I've linked on here I would it might just take me a little time.
That’s what happens when a new hot shot CEO takes over photobucket a legend destroyed in minutes LOL!
Negative externalities, its criminal how does it help to usher a new age of internet usage??
Anyhoot hello peeps
:cool:

So photobucket is a cash grab now? I've always used Imgur...
