Photobucket no longer allowing 3rd party hosting of images for free

VelvetGlove

Hi All,

Had an email from Photobucket this morning basically saying they want $399.99 a year to reinstate 3rd party hosting (what I use to display the images in the Comping Guide).

I've been onto their website this morning and they updated their TOS 28 June 2017 so I guess this new restriction is as a result of updated terms.

I'll be looking for another solution this weekend - as Photobucket isn't a possibility if they want to charge!

What other sites do people use for 3rd party hosting of images? (So I can upload an image and then post it onto a website etc)?

All suggestions welcome, although FREE ones would be welcomed, sat down with a cup of tea and offered the good biscuits!

Thanks x

I was recommended http://tinypic.com/
& you can resize pics if it helps.

I use Tinypic but the ads are a pain and do tend to freeze my computer up so I have to work quickly - grab the link code and close it down before the ads show!

Thanks very much for these suggestions!

I'll have a good look at them all at the weekend and see which looks easiest to move everything across to and re-do all the links back to the Guide... _pale_

For years I've held accounts at both Photobucket and Imgur and the announcement by Photobucket that I can't continue to post images on third party sites unless I pay them $399 a year means the end of our relationship.:(

For now it's all over to Imgur.com

I have a 'Yearly Ad Free' subscription with Photobucket, which I believe costs 9.99 USD. The last time I paid was in May 2017. My pics are still appearing on forum without the error message.

I can find nothing as to why this is still working for me, but what happens in May 2018?

Btw, another alternative (in German only but you can work it out): abload.de

I think that you won't need to wait till next year to pay, and will find that you pay $9.99 per month

Tried to download my albums this evening but kept getting errors or not doing anything.

Downloaded Java as it said I needed it.

Still no success.

I was using Chrome which they recommend!

Now have to go through the checklist to see if anything helps first before contacting them.
