Photobucket.com has committed suicide, if you want to view pics supported by them you now have to pay them! I for one will not be using them and if you want everyone to see your pics on your post, and pics of what your selling I would sugest stop using Photobucket.com
Agreed. The new picture posting feature is nice but limiting it to two pictures kinda blows.

Been that way for near 2 months now.
They will be in a downward spiral with all the people leaving. That site was horribly slow the past few years anyhow. There are much better options. I tried Imgur, but prefer Flickr. Once you get to know it, it is simple to use.
Imgur is the answer you seek...
Postimg.org
If only you could short P$huckbucket stock. I let them "have" my account and told them where to stick it
Yep, Photobucket has really screwed up a lot of very informative posts on many forums. There were many, very well illustrated "how to" posts on a lot of forums that are now useless.

I've switched to Imgur and have been slowly downloading my old pictures from photobucket to my local drives.

I have the photobucket app on my phone so that all my pictures automatically upload. Do any of the other sites listed have an app that does the same thing?
My guess is that they have done the math and proceeded accordingly. That said, I was not pleased but, in a way, could give a ufukk about posting much as time has gone on in the way of posting photos.

No more photo posting for me.

This news is so old even CNN archived it.
Alright folks, I signed up on Imgur. We'll see how it goes.

Flickr has an app that will auto upload... but you may need to access your camera through the app. But I prefer to upload only photo's I've checked and I only want to upload photos when I have wifi to save data usage.

Be Safe,

Thanks for the answer. I signed up for Imgur. I haven't played with the app enough to see if it will automatically upload my pics. I may keep my PB account and just use it as cloud storage since it is free for that and use Imgur to store just my pics that I want to upload to other sites.
The truly sad part is the plethora of visual information that is no longer available. Doesn't matter if it's this site, or another, any post that had a PhotoPhuckIt link is now pretty much useless. Even sadder, is that many posters have yet to realize this, and unless they re-post the information and/or images with a different image host, those of us who may wish to view or use their info are at a loss.

Fast, simple, secure, free. It's the easiest way to go at this point.

Sound nice but still the problem is if you dont have a Photobucket account you can't see them, unless you don't care who gets to see your pics on your classifieds and or posts
We'll see how PB makes out in the next few months. Udoubtedly millions have left.........................

Very true, its like what is the point of posting pics if most of the people cant see them?

Very nice!
I would have liked to be in the boardroom when Photo-bucket-of-sh*t decided to fug all their customers. Their greedy azz has been prominent for over a year with all the badgering ads they posted trying to get their customers to go ad free for extra $'s. Truly glad I never gave them a cent! In MHO their integrity and reputation have been forever destroyed.

I think from this you don't know what third party hosting is. That's putting your pictures on Photobucket, then posting a link to them here on 24HrCampfire. That's the only purpose most of us have (or in my case, used to have, 'cause I punted 'em) ever had for a Photobucket account. Are you doing something different with yours? I'm curious, if so, what other function you have for Photobucket other than third party hosting.

[quote=tack]Guys,
I cant understand why Photobucket is charging you; yet when I log in and toggle across the menu bar to "PLANS", click on it, It says my plan is FREE up to 2 GB of storage. It then proceeds to advise me what the rates are for excess storage . and I believe third party hosting.

I think third party hosting pic's are the problem. When you post pic's on campfire(or elsewhere other than PB) viewers can't see pic's unless they pay for third party hosting also. You may be able to see your pic's on campfire though.
just think, every 'substitue' photo that Photobucket shows, constantly reminds everyone who sees it how bad Photobucket turned out.

Can't have a bigger more negative advertising campaign than that!
What about Google Photos? Already on my phone.
Flickr

No you can no longer see anything you posted,
Just used imgur for the first time. Works fine from a computer, but the phone app won't give the correct link to post.. I'm one of those hacks that use my phone as a camera.. so now I load it from the phone to the app, but if you want to post it you have to do it from a computer by logging in to your account on imgur website .. not a huge deal but not as convenient either.

Is there an app from anyone that works like photobucket did?

I've tried flickr, tinypic,imageshack and imgur . All work fine, from a laptop.
+1 on switching to imgar and keeping POA PB as a cloud file as long as my free ride lasts.
