Need to download all of mine, only just seen this problem today, what an ARSE!and to top it off my poxy iphone has decided to drop wifi and grey out the slider to turn it back on, done a soft reset and reset network settings but still not working, have switched it off and thrown it in the freezer to see if the myth of cooling them down actually works, I doubt it but I don't have time this morning to be fucking around with gadgets and bastard hosting sites fucking me over

It's even stranger than that!

 

They are calling hotlinking 3Rd party hosting.... Which costs $400...

 

It actually appears they are charging $100 a month to grant permission for you to create a backlink to their site. pretty much one of the weirdest policies I've ever seen.

 

Anyone already on a photobucket plan prior to the terms of service change will already be in contract so they most probably won't be able to roll out the new scam deal to you until the end of your current contractual period without themselves being in breach. I guess most are on rolling monthly so watch out for it coming soon

You can stick with them cheaper free but no 3Rd party hosting

 

You can pay em $400 to keep using like now

 

Or you can do the sensible thing and tell photobucket to fuck off and move your content elsewhere

I don't even seem to be able to open my photos at all on the Photobucket app to download them back to my phone. They're my fucking photos and they're not letting me have them. How can that be right?!?

 

What a bunch of funts!

I am totally unaffected of the changes so far I think and I don´t pay anything.

I was unaffected until today, July 1. I could still link from the PB library yesterday, when other people could not. Now I can't. They may have split their clients into subsections and you just haven't been processed yet.

After getting slower and more ad filled and buggy finally they decided to pull the plug on forum image hosting.... Unless you pay a ridiculously high fee...

 

 

 

Fuck em!

 

 

 

Problem is they just ruined 1000's of helpful guides on forums all over the world

 

The wankers

 

It'd be cheaper to send mail to every member on the forum

Currently I can not access any of my photos via browser in PC.

 

Mobile app (android) is working fine, surprisingly it is more responsive than before and it can download photos to phone so .....

 

1. I have downloaded albums into phone.

 

2. Than I realized that Photobucket folder is not visible and accessible via PC but I can see it in Total commander installed in phone.

 

3. My Photobucket folder with downloaded photos was in my Nexus located at "/storage/0/Pictures/Photobucket"

I marked album and packed it with Total commander packer (third icon from left - folder icon with zipper)

 

4. Destination for Zip file was automatically set to "Download" folder which is visible when phone is connected to PC

 

5. Moving zip archive with pics to PC was easy cake than.

 

 

I hope that this "tutorial" can save a lot of your photos.

 

Now I am uploading my photos to Flickr.

My pics still work so far. I hate photobucket too so I'll have to find another way.

 

It's a real shame about the forum guides.

 

Thanks for all the advice in this thread.

so, what will happen to the tens of thousands of websites (not just our replicas homes) all over the web that used Photofucket?

like all the blogs, ebay sellers, regular websites?

The same thing, they'll get the generic "update your account" icon where their pictures should be, or they pay he $400 and continue to show as they always have.

well....won't that create somewhat of a web wide revolt against Photofucket?
