Photobucket changes terms of service

[daryldoak]

Not sure if anyone else noticed or not, but photobucket no longer allows 3rd party hosting using a free account.  All of the pictures in all of my build threads on CCG, ACD, BF, and BHG are now broken.

I guess you get what you pay for.

Bummer!

Lame.

It used to be such a great hosting service. It's gone way downhill the last 5 years though. It's slow and full of adds. I dread clicking a link to them these days. Such a shame.

Super lame. Tons of pics are going to broken all over the place. Ugh.

It's weird. Mine are still working on the main RL forum, but I see that there are  notices about the upgrade.

I paid the subscription almost immediately when I launched mine because the ads were driving me crazy.  Glad I did that.

Photobucket has been driving me crazy too! It broke a handful of my links a while ago that were on the New Member thread. I was able to re-upload them, but now it won't let me copy past direct links to any forum! I've been using PB for YEARS! I tried Flickr, but the links weren't working for me. I might just have to break down and pay the $2.50 a month... Unless anyone else knows of a better images hosting site?

I've always and only used Flickr. If you need help with links, I'm your gal.

I second this. Good image hosting and settings so far

I started using Flickr too because PB is getting full.  I have trouble with the Flickr uploader at times and have to use the old one that takes forever.  I think it's my PC.  Anyhoo, thanks for the lead on Imgur. 

[RainTrooper]

Imgur it is! Way easier to use  Thanks guys!

I've got over 1800 build thread images from all of my droid builds..... and all are photobucket.  I have an older Photobucket that hasn't been blocked yet, but it's coming. 

By the way... if you read the photobucket terms for the new agreement, only the $399 yearly gets you third party hosting.
