Photobucket being utter bumholes

Post by becca » Mon Jul 17, 2017 7:03 pm

:evil: :evil: :evil:

So I'm guessing others have noticed too that photobucket no longer seem to be allowing 'third party hosting' unless you upgrade for $400 a year...

Does anyone have a solution for this? My ENTIRE build thread is photobucket based images and now nothing is visible at all, didn't see any warnings for this over the last few months either... I know a lot of you also have photos hosted on their for this forum and probably others too.

I'd imagine the 'how to' sections of most forums will be the hardest hit and it's going to make so many threads completely useless in those sections now unless someone can access and reupload the old photos some other way?



Statement on their site:
3rd Party Hosting Specifics

1. What plans offer 3rd Party Hosting?

Only the Plus 500 plan supports 3rd Party Hosting
Upgrade to Photobucket’s Plus 500 Subscription by visiting    http://photobucket.com/pricing
or http://photobucket.com/p500

2. What do I get with the Plus 500 Plan?

Unlimited 3rd Party Hosting
Unlimited Bandwidth
Full Resolution Photo Storage (We do not compress your images)
High Capacity Storage
Dedicated and Priority Customer Support
Photobucket.com Promotional Opportunities

3. What users are affected by the changes to our 3rd Party Hosting
policies?

Moving forward, new and legacy free account users will NOT have third party
hosting available.

If you were a Plus Account subscriber in good standing as of June 1, 2017,
you will continue to have all the privileges you have enjoyed including 3rd
Party Hosting until December 31, 2018 as long as you maintain your
subscription.

Non Plus 500 Account subscribers that purchased after June 1, 2017 will not
have access to 3rd Party Hosting.

4. Are my pictures still safe?

Yes! All your photos are still available by logging into your Photobucket
Account. Photobucket has only restricted the ability to view your photos on
3rd party sites.

5. Can I download my Photos?

Absolutely, at any time. It is an easy four step process:

Step 1. Login to your Photobucket Account

Step 2. Navigate to your library page

Step 3. View a photo and click the download button

Step 4. The picture will be saved to your computer

Ahh I did try to search but it said it was too vague a search term / too many results so I checked the relevant forum sections and couldn't find anything :lol: Didn't think to check 'general chat' :oops:
