Photobucket Acct.

What is with this Site, they are now stoppin all 3rd party hostin. I have not went to see but all my pic's have been dropped n seems this is anutter way fer them to cash in on you fer $$$$$

[janesy]

Yep, there is a thread below about it. Mine is still working, but many have quit already

[SEW]

Mine are gone also.

[robertyb]

They are not really gone and it has nothing to do with them charging and 3rd party hosting. The free accounts have nothing to do with this. I thought mine were gone also but they showed back up. I think I had to sign out and back in a couple of times before they did but everything is back to normal again.

[vixenmaster]

I went n logged out n in several times, they sent me a agreement to agree to a 1 yr contract at $399.99 to 3rd party Hostin of my pic acct. Can you believe that $399.99 a yr

[Canuck Archer]

To be honest,that's why I hardly ever post a pic here...Just to much involved in getting it on the site..
The other two sites I frequent are a breeze to load pics on....

[vixenmaster]

I jus went n deleted every pic i had off of photobucket!

After my frustration with Photobucket and the inordinate number of fly-in and pop-up ads that constantly blocked the screen and interrupted what I was doing and then reading this thread, I downloaded all my images to a folder on my home computer and deleted my account. I don't see how Photobucket will last with their current business model and the amount of cheap or free competition.

Or does big dog fight or buy out the smaller companies and they all disappear or get eaten up by big corporate?. Way of the world right now. Big corporate attacking the little guys. Welcome to the new world as you will end up paying in a few years to do it anyways. CHEERS!

I tried to leave PB and joined tinypic... Only to find PB already bought them

....nobody likes to pay, for sure!....Just remember, just about everything that happens in society has a profit motive of some sought attached to it. I guess PB,after giving their site away for free, tried and hoped people would click and pay for other 3rd party vendor services so that they(-PB) could make a profit....now they are moving to a new platform and gonna charge us....It is up to us to decide to say, "chuck fou yarlie!" and leave or just bite the bullet and add yet another of the, "It's only $7.99/mo" services to our monthly expenses!

PS: They (PB) have yet to contact me...I guess it was because Cousin Vinnie gave them a call last week and discussed a few things!

Y'all really need to read the other thread on here as we have already been through this. They are not charging anyone anything unless you need to upgrade your FREE account which holds several thousand pictures.
Sorry you deleted all your pics for no reason Mike but at least you were able to access them again or you could not have deleted them.

[vixenmaster]

They sent me an email said i must upgrade my acct. to 3rd party Host. Had $399.99 per year showin i declined to upgrade. Every pic i tried to reload would do it fer a short period of time n then went to their nasty jpeg tellin me the acct. was disabled fer pic hosting

[wheelie]

Likely followed the links and seen you had a business. There for they just you down I assume. Everytime you link a picture somewhere else and one can lead to where it is. CHEERS!

[amythntr]

....well I just got my notification from PB that my account will need to be upgraded in order to "3rd party host".....well that is such an easy decision to make....free now...$399.99 to upgrade....ah, fuggetaboutit!
