Is the subscription ($15 a year) Photobucket worth it? The free service is so FULL of ads and so slooooooow! Any subscribers out there please advise, thanks. Dean

mine sucks right now 2.

No way I'd pay for a subscription to that!

Dean, IMO, yes. I upgraded to gain more storage capacity, no ads is an added bonus.

A full year for the price of a 12 pack of beer.

I think they purposely added more ads so, people would upgrade.

Yeah it's retarded terrible. I'm about done with them. On top of that I ordered some metal prints awhile back and they screwed them up, customer service basically told me to go kick rocks. Ordered the same ones from Bayphoto and they are awesome and not more expensive.

So, what are some good, free, photo-sharing/storage sites?

right now, Photobucket is working fine for me. I have always resisted their efforts to pay for it.

You're right.

Here in Canada they want $8.99/month for 100GB storage and ZERO ads. As if?

I have had zero problems with, https://postimage.org/

No problems with photobucket in over 7-8 years, ad block + takes care of the ads.

Sam you over paid by 11 beers

I applied AdblockPlus to Photobucket and it worked fine for awhile then they asked me to turn it off. I didn't and everything slowed down to a crawl.

Then they said I could go ad free for $14.99/year. I went to Picture Trail but they limit you to 36 free photos. Now back to Photobucket and turned off AdBlockPlus but site is slow,slow.

I just posted several pictures to "standard" free Photobucket with no issues.

I am running Firefox with Adblock Plus on Linux

IMHO yes it is.

Well, if ANYBODY would know,....

....and THANKS for all the wonderful travelogues and photo safaris you've put up over the years!

I run AdBlock on Firefox and have had no issues with Photobucket in the past, have not tried it in the last couple of days though.

P.

Photobucket absolutely won't work for me, hasn't for several months. Every time I hit the upload button it takes me back to the login screen.

Go to a library and then try to upload.

Highroller!

Use Flickr

It is still working here.

AddBlocker here and PhotoBucket works fine for me.

You drink the good stuff.

or imgur

Yeah right....grin

yep

Photobucket won't show me images when trying to view them on their site if I have ad block running. It's annoying.

I had my computer "upgraded" several months ago and one of the benefits was losing the ability to use Photobucket.

Last week, I spent over an hour at my local Staples store and a very knowledgeable young lady helped me restore the ability to use Photobucket on my computer. NO CHARGE.

I don't know enough about computers to understand what she did, but, I do know, it now works for me.

BTW: I'm a huge fan of TinyPic and their integrated keyboard. I've not used anything easier or more streamlined for posting pictures in forums.

And it's free.

Giving the upgraded, ad free, Photobucket a try. I've wasted $15 on goofier things! Right away it's faster in every aspect. Nice NOT seeing any ads too! Thanks for all the tips and advise, Happy New Year! Dean

That's what I was talking about when I called Sam a high-roller!

Ok, so what are the alternatives to Photobucket?

my photobucket keeps telling me to login when the page has my name and amount of photo's i have list on it. i'm already logged in.

Does the 15$ / year subscription include more storage space above what came with the free version ? I hit the 2.2 G limit last fall , broke down and tried to spend the 15$ yesterday. Log in , hit get more storage button , choose the 15$ plan , link takes me back to log in screen . rinse and repeat several times.
Tried the 35$ plan just to see if that would work , but , same circle of back to log in page....
Any ideas ?

When I upgraded, I hit the "ad free" tab, it directed me to a payment page, I paid via paypal and have been going strong ever since with no problems or issues (yet!). Increased speed and storage, so far, so good.

No problem with photobucket after many years of use.

i dumped the bucket

Zero issues with photo bucket for me.

No problems with PB.
