photobucket working? | Joined: Sep 2016 Posts: 51 journeyman | OP journeyman Joined: Sep 2016 Posts: 51 | Is it just me? I’ve noticed on some old threads that some of the old pics are showing up..... not all, but some. | | | Re: photobucket working? | Joined: Nov 2013 Posts: 3,692 Likes: 32 pooh-bah | pooh-bah Joined: Nov 2013 Posts: 3,692 Likes: 32 | I have not noticed it yet. But maybe people are paying up. They have recently sent me an offer for PB, down from $399.00 a year, to a more reasonable $19.99. If they'd have done that in the first place, I might be a customer. But now that I've seen how fantastically better Flickr is, I wouldn't go back if they paid me. | | | Re: photobucket working? | Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 18,308 Likes: 569 | Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 18,308 Likes: 569 | Screw me once shame on YOU ! ..... screw me twice shame on ME !

I wonder if there is some sort of legal block because they have accepted payment from me. I don't know, but I am using them as little as possible. | | | Re: photobucket working? | Joined: Dec 2000 Posts: 3,750 Likes: 13 | Joined: Dec 2000 Posts: 3,750 Likes: 13 | photobucket ruined so many forums, they are holding everyone's photos hostage.. they want a king's ransom to show the images again.

| | | Re: photobucket working? | Joined: Mar 2017 Posts: 71 journeyman | journeyman Joined: Mar 2017 Posts: 71 | My pictures started reappearing here and there with no reason. I have not paid them anything. I have not received any notices from them, I haven't even been to their site in over a year. But some of my pics have reappeared. | | | Re: photobucket working? | Joined: Jul 2009 Posts: 6,258 Likes: 164 Master Metal Sculptor | Master Metal Sculptor Joined: Jul 2009 Posts: 6,258 Likes: 164 | Mine started reappearing too. I can still use photobucket (and put up with the adds) or now they have three different paid options (without adds). Used to be just one option. now there is a paid option starting at $5.99/mo. I still use the free one and my photos just started reappearing on here......I think they lost a lot of users and caught so much flak from users they backed down a little. | | | Re: photobucket working? | Joined: Aug 2001 Posts: 12,107 Likes: 37 Maniac | Maniac Joined: Aug 2001 Posts: 12,107 Likes: 37 | I think it is back up and working. My photos have reappeared on several sites, and I am still using the free account I signed up for over a decade ago. I think they got the picture that they would make more money selling lots of cheaper options and advertisements then selling more stupidly expensive options and advertisements.

I logged in tonight and they have several offers for hosting photos. 2GB for $4.03 a month for 400 photos; 50GB for $5.83 a month for 10,000 photos. I have a new email and tried to get it verified to go further with no luck. Any time I tried to click on one of my pics in storage, the window kept showing up to verify my email. | | |
