Photobucket Bites the Big One
« on: August 31, 2017, 08:59:35 AM »
What is the best alternative to Photobucket.

I have three different Photobucket accounts all are almost full...so this totally sucks as I will have to download and then upload to another site.  Plus, all the threads where the photo I may have linked is from Photobucket will no longer work.  Really crappy.

Flickr ?
Imgur?

I don't want to pay.  Saving for an LJ.....

Not sure if it's the same kind of thing, but I use google photos to keep all of my photos backed up. Works with my email log in and my google drive.

Flikr hands down! Gives you a terabyte for free. Nobody can touch that! Way easier than PB as well.
I've grown tired of this.

EDITED:  I saw some post/article about a plug-in for Chrome that makes PB transfers much easier. fixes broken links magically, somehow.   I have not used it.  Google may be your friend.

Good luck downloading your albums.  It's been broken for a month now.  It errors out every time.  I've tried PC, Mac, IE, Chrome, Safari, Firefox.  I read online where a lot of people are getting the same errors.  I tried to FTP to the site but it won't allow me to connect.

Good info, thanks.
I have a Flickr account so I will start to use that.

Strange though.  I just went out to all my CFR 2018 forum threads and posted an update.  The first post in all those threads has a Photobucket linked picture and I was able to see it...it was not blocked.  Really weird.

There has been a massive backlash from the user community.  They basically ruined thousands of forums and blogs.

Took weeks to get images off. But I did this like 2 years ago. I could see the writing on the wall way back when.

Hopefully the next place you go doesn't do the same thing.

I would say 90% of the photo's I have on photosuckit are also on a portable hard drive so it's not like they "have" my pictures...but I will be moving to Flickr I think.
