PhotoBucket now charges $399 for third-party hosted images

What's weird is....haven't we ALWAYS used PB for 3rd party hosting? Doesn't everyone that uses it use it for 3rd party hosting?

I had no warning that I saw....it just all of a sudden happened. grr

I've been doing it for the past few years.
Just started noticing a problem with sharing pics here ~a month ago. I think I even started a thread asking if something changed with this site.

Wonder why they have done this??

Let me know which site you decide to go with.

I don't understand it Kat - why it's working for me not you. I posted direct link into the image icon.

I'm not having a problem with it...I don't think....it's working here...

I love walking through the woods in the fall.

I do also, that one was taken at Coopers Rocks

Is that near the lake?

No, it's the lower picnic loop...near the end of the road.

Here is another view of it in the winter:

The reservoir is nice also:

All the images are working so far....and I'm not paying them a cent.

I guess I will use one or both of the ones listed in this thread. They worked great.

They're trying to hit me up for the same amount, $399/yr.. That's not going to happen.

Here's what Photobucket says about it: What is 3rd party hosting?

It says if you use the <IMG> tag...but I didn't...I used the direct link option...could that make a difference?

 

[Kat]

No. I used it as I always have. I have never had that message before. According to the article I posted in the OP, it's something PB is doing.



Imgur Is good too.

 

[tycho1572]

Whelp.... I'm going to check out a few other threads and hopefully have a little fun.
I'll try to behave myself. I promise.
