Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Photobucket sucks

Seems to work fine. No one tried to charge me for it, either.

13 years... was a good ride while it lasted. No more PB account for me.

Just down size your original avatar to 80x80 max, and down load the avatar in your profile section straight from computer hard drive.

It's coming don't worry, I received notice yesterday...and locked out of pictures already that were posted.

What the heck is 3rd party hosting?
I hate being told I need to give up more info. As if we need them to do us a favor.

So I deleted all my photobucket pictures and they can keep their site. I acknowledge that I know next to nothing about the internet, but I do know that many sites are giving up all their info to the government and that alone is reason for me to not want to give in to this kind of manipulation.

So---------------- anyone know another site that is not run by jerks that can be used to post pictures?

3rd party hosting is when you post a link to a photobucket image on a website like this one.

Someone on another site today said the photobucket site was hacked. Apparently some are getting emails saying they need to pay $399.99 to unlock their accounts or something to that effect and enable 3rd party hosting.
I did some browsing and it looks like a $59.99 UPGRADE. I'm going to wait a few days and see what happens but free hosting on PB may be a thing of the past

I could not use the "open" function of the attachment feature, but a drag and drop of the *.jpg file did work for me.

Convoluted, but functional. Hope Photobucket comes around on this as it's a shame to lose the historic links. Some of Photobucket's direct links are still up. Either folks have the buy in accounts, or they've not gotten around to screwing the whole crowd yet.

This current process probably puts a bit more stress on Mr. Rick's system.

Thanks Gringo Loco,

Check out this pic FROM Phb -- same as I get FROM Phb. Upgrade to 500 plus is $399.99/yr. - FROM Ph B

I just deleted all my pictures, albums, and closed account...fugg em

I refuse to give them free advertising with their inserted PB ad on my missing pictures.

wish it was easier to upload pics here

PB has been getting progressively more annoying to use over the years. This was a good "last straw" to drop them, which I did yesterday. Screw 'em.

Impress me.....post a pb pic

Give it about one day

Ted- the reason ours are gone is because they started with the cool people's accounts first.

Day 3

I join the ranks of those thoroughly unhappy (read: completely pissed off) about Botophucket's new business model. That being said, I find it interesting that, historically on the 'fire, if someone complains about the price of something, let's say gasoline, the immediate response is to rally the villagers, light torches, pile kindling around the stake, all the while emitting cries of, "If you don't like it, do your own prospecting, drill your own wells, build your own refinery, etc! Damn commie - what do you have against Capitalism?" In this instance, there seems to be the opposite response - interesting.

I have no problems with them charging, I have problems with their 'thief in the night' approach.

And their exorbitant hostage fee to get them back, a reasonable rate wouldn't have bothered me.
