Photobucket

Arctucas · Jul 1, 2017

I have used Photobucket for several years, linking many pics here and elsewhere.

Now, Photobucket wants $400US/year to allow me to share pics.

Sorry, Photobucket, but I will not succumb to your attempted extortion.

So, unfortunately, all the pics I have posted are unavailable for viewing.

My apologies for the inconvenience.

I just checked, and my [FREE] Photobucket account still works fine. Just like it always has.

Something is amiss there.

I use Techpowerup.org for image hosting, it's only gotten better over the years. Did you exceed any limits to your PB account?

Yeah but i am guessing that @W1zzard don't want people putting pictures on TechPowerUp.org to post them else were on other sites though.

Tried imgur back in May, could not get it to link images properly.

Anyway, I can upload pics directly here on TPU, but some of my older posts, I used Photobucket.

FreedomEclipse · Jul 1, 2017

Photo bucket has become a cancer for quite a while. Whenever i try get on there it's nothing but a flurry of nonstop ads and popups at every click. I got a lotta old pictures uploaded there but these days i uploaded them to my Google account

Reading through the site, which there isn't much to read, shows no such stipulations or restrictions.

I'm sure they monitor image bandwidth usage, but I've never had an image pulled I've shared on another forum that I'm aware of.

Maybe @W1zzard can clear it up tho.

I'd still say its a good option...my favorite image hosting site for almost a decade now! It doesn't go by account so you can't keep track of your images unless you document them that I'm aware of. Worth it for a good, reliable and free image hosting solution. Granted I post fewer images than many.

Why would you think that? TPU.org is there for everyone to use and not going away. I use it for dozens of pictures myself every day (through TPU capture). New image editing features were added a while back. Bandwidth is no issue at all

FreedomEclipse · Jul 1, 2017

Time to clean out my photo bucket account

W1zzard · Jul 1, 2017

How important is a login feature, which lets you save and manage the pictures you uploaded?

Ability to create albums?

I cant imagine what caused that, since it has embedded , direct,etc link options all clearly marked....easy as boiling water. Oh well, not important

@W1zzard
Having image storage would make it more appealing imo. Personally I never use those album features I just upload pictures and MoveOn

Fairly important. If you're willing to create

For instance if we could have some space for images alloted to our accounts. Im willing to pay a small sub for hosting

I thought that because it was a TPU service that you kindly offer for free and would hate to see it gone due to people uploading pictures to post else were.

Other than that just a matter of respect to you as a service i enjoy using without any BS.

Again Thank You.

hardware and bandwidth is so cheap nowadays. the server is also completely separate to our tpu main servers, so don't worry about crashing that.

The OP was correct.

Photobucket is going to end up going belly up. No one is going to pay that absurd price.

dorsetknob · Jul 3, 2017

Next Step" Paywall for Viewers"

That way Photobucket Extract

I would like it, even if just to keep track of previous project logs, benchmarks, results, shared infoz, etc.

Is it required? Hell no! I love TPU.org's image sharing platform as it stands, simple, effective and very fast. But it would be more a Quality of Life thing if you added or tied in accounts/login features and album creations.

A login feature isn't important for me, but I could imagine it might be important for a lot of people. Probably best to start a thread with a poll in it about this.

I would welcome techpowerup having a image host that didn't suck scrollable, albums,login,folders yes yes and yes again

photobucket just paid for and signed there own death warrant

Jetster · Jul 3, 2017

I use to have a paid account. $25 year, Left over 2Tb of pictures there. Its gone as far as i can tell. I had a bunch tagged for searches from google and they don't even come up. My free account is still active but the site is full of ads and its slow.
