Jdesign Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 So... if you haven't noticed, all the links for images that were hosted on Photobucket.com have broken since they updated their service terms. You must now pay $400 a month to get your images back and or host them. If anyone has a work around to this, please share. I plan on slowly saving all of the images I can and transferring them to Flickr. https://www.theverge.com/2017/7/4/15919224/photobucket-broken-images-amazon-ebay-etsy-paid-update Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc43089 Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 Yep, huge pain. So Flickr seems to be the best one to migrate too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m42b32 Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 Ive been using Flickr and it works fine for me, no problems so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 I haven't lost a single picture in any of my threads so I am happy to dodge this issue. I do have a feeling that it has to be with me having paid $3 a month for the past few years just to keep my threads alive for everyone as I used up all of the free account space.

HipMF Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 I didn't actually read what changed, but all my photobucket pics are still up. It's a mediocre service at best, but bandwidth isn't free. I've thought about renting some server space and using it to serve images, but that's more because I'm particular about how things work. Uploading pics and getting links has always been overly tedious IMO (has to be, so they can put more ads in your face and not go bankrupt) REKIII and Jdesign 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to be a Google Chrome plugin fix for the photobucket fiasco. I haven't tried it myself, but others have said it worked for them. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/photobucket-embed-fix/naolkcpnnlofnnghnmfegnfnflicjjgj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
straight6pwr Posted July 27, 2017 Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 this is what happened to imageshack like 7ish years ago and I lost all my online photos. i use Flickr for photography stuff and imgur for image dumping like photos for project threads and memes and whatnot. both work great.

GunMetalGrey Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 There is a chrome hot fix that somehow dodges the issue. Just an FYI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
