So all my pics now have "please upgrade to 500 plus for 3rd party image sharing" which is $39 a month (US $ probably) .. Looks like I won't be posting pics ever again...
Cheers, Scott.

Scott you don't need photobucket to post a pic here
Photobucket has become worthless in recent times. I've pretty much abandoned my account. Now they want you to pay for it. Maybe $39/year, but NOT $39/month - no way!

Thanks mate, I'll have a look into that. As it stands though all my previous posts with pics now have that stupid upgrade icon on them, and I have 700 odd pics on photobucket that I can now no longer transfer to anything unless I pay for them. Photobuckets basically blackmailing their users, if you want your pics back you need to pay. :mad:
Cheers, Scott.
I stopped adding photos to Photobucket a couple years ago because they got stupid with their new interface.
Now they want me to pay for a free hosting site? Um, no. They can take their offer, fold it until it's all sharp corners, and shove it where the sun don't shine.
Anything I really want to link I will simply upload to Imgur instead. Only reason I'm not deleting my account immediately is because they might figure out what a bad idea this is and change their mind.
Sounds like they are going the way of My Space.
Something like this happened with "WebShots"and I switched to photo bucket. I hope they don't cut their own throats here.
Plus I've got a load of pix on the forum that were posted thru them. Good grief what a mess this digital age is.
My account still works. When I opened it up it said "upgrade to ad-free for $10/month". Maybe you need to move to the US to get free photo hosting.

When I opened mine, it gave me a lot of trouble navigating and making a link to my pics.
I just put some oversized pics up for unclrob, by my old way of resizing the photo in PAINT. And then posting them.
Seeing threads on every forum I visit. Good article:

Seems to be the way the whole worlds going these days Danny. Slower, less efficient and more expensive. :wacko:
Cheers, Scott.
Not even worth a flush.... :winkin:
