Photobucket 3rd party

[longbow joe]

Now it looks like these jerks want to charge us for 3rd party use . Any alternatives. ? How much do they want ...didnt get that far.

[SEW]

I just read on the Honda Ridgeline forum that it's $400/year. It appears that most who post pictures, etc are stopping its usage. I'll have to.
I've enjoyed and appreciated getting to use it for free, but why should anybody be expected to provide such a service for free? However my feelings on that though, I'll be looking for another free service that 1) can be used with and iPad , and 2) that computer illiterate me can learn.

I'm going to be looking as well. It was great to use the hosting for free though.

How can something be free one day then $400 bucks . AAA road service for a year is 3 times cheaper lol . My gym fee isnt that for a year. I was thinking like $19.95 for the service!

If they are going to charge THEN DO NOT ADVERTISE TO ME !!!!!!!! If I'm going to pay don't track me or have anything else on your page .

[wheelie]

Can not be $400. I have my own dotcom which is $14 a year. Have a unlimited website space and it is $120. They will never get $400. I will host everyones pictures for $400 a year per person and I could retire immediately off all the members here. Start summiting the cash today! CHEERS!

I use them daily and have not heard a word about a charge unless I want a heck of a lot more storage than I will ever use.

I switchedto tinypic.com. free

Does tiny pic .work like photo bucket. ......deleating part of the code ? (For posting )

First 2 GB is free, after that you start paying. 2 GB is a lot of pictures. I have several hundred pictures in my account and I'm no where near that.

Do you have a clue what 3rd party sharing is?
It might help if you go on Photobucket and read about the different levels of service. The $400 deal is for unlimited storage and 3rd party sharing.

What we do is free as usual.

Yep, all true. I guess Photobucket is planning their "out strategy"

When I preview my post I see a picture. PhotoBucket is hosting this picture. (Free account with less than 25 pictures there, using less than 1% of the free 2gb storage)



Question: Does anyone else see picture or is it the notice from PhotoBucket showing?

I just signed up for tinypic...turns out Photobucket owns it too
