Stop using Photobucket

[viper357]

Hi everyone.

If you are using Photobucket to upload and share your pics on the forum you will need to use a different service from now on, as they will no longer allow your photo's to show up when using their free service:

"Bulletin boards across the globe are being crippled as previously vibrant threads with detailed images are disappearing.

"People who have used Photobucket for hosting these images successfully for over 10 years are finding that they will have to literally start again with what for some, amounts to a lifetime's work."

If you have any old threads with Photobucket photos that you would like to be edited then please report the post and we will see if we can get the images and upload them to the forum for you.

Thanks.

Thanks for the heads up Viper.
Will be switching over to Google photos.

Do a test first, as I think Google doesn't allow sharing either?

Click the "Upload a file button" or drag and drop your pics into the reply box.

Does anybody know of an easy way to download all of my albums and photo's from Photobucket to my pc? I can't seem to find a way of doing it, plus that site is so damn slow with all the ads and it keeps timing out, I hate it.

 

[RiaanP]

you are not the only one who hate them.

And the Download album does not work either.

Got this off another forun

Go to google Chrome and google Chrome webstore. Search for Photobucket Embedded Image fix.
Add the add-on. It shows all the photobucket pics that were loaded before. Just tested it and works like a charm.

I haven't Personally tried it but those that have, says it works.

I can access my photos for some reason, perhaps the add, but I don't recall adding it.

 

[leslie hempel]

ok it would seem the photos on my threads are back in order again
