[ferp420]

I went to one of my threads and noticed all my pictures were gone i clicked on the link and the picture came up but not in the forums it looks like they stoped hosting 3rd party whatevers any one have ideas or know of a good pic hosting site that dosent cost a fortune

they go down all the time give them a day or week and they will be back up.

Photobucket is crap but I still use it... Switching cost/time is what's preventing me.

[Habanero]

I was reading this elsewhere -that they want you to pay thru the nose now- but it hasn't affected me at all.

Photobucket is the worst. They lost 500+ pictures of mine a few years ago so I switched over to flickr. Much happier.

[JatoTheRipper]

ImageShack lost some of my photos. I'm not on Flickr as well and it's not bad, but it certainly could be easier to use and for some reason the app doesn't always do what I tell it. Overall it's not too bad though.

Yup, I still use Aggravation Bucket simply because I have a lot of pictures on there and transferring what I want over to another site sounds like no fun at all. The amount of adds that pop up when you first log in is horrendous.

I will say the Photo Bucket app really isn't that bad at all, it is pretty straight forward processes. Its just the PC side of the house that is ugly.

Photobucket no longer supports third-party hosting. That is, unless you want to pay them $400 a year that is the only plan that they have that you can successfully host your photos and Link them to other sites.

I emailed them they sead 300 a year to host 3rd party pics good luck with that in my responce i sead im not trying to rent a appartment for my pics just host them and the price there asking was just plain greedy lol ohwell

Maybe it was 400 lol

[calcagno45]

So $400 to host your pics to be able to post on RCC?

[hpiguy]

Imgur will fix all those problems.

[ferp420]

Thanks i just signed up for imgru ill give it a try

[robertjpjr]

Just got that email as well. RIP 75% of the build threads on RCC...

[Cultus]

Wow, this is unreal. All the popup adds on their site have become unbearable lately, and now they think people will dish out 400 bones? Good luck with that. Now its gonna take me weeks to fix all my threads.

[bilinvic]

It ****ing sucks...all my build threads are now useless. Photobucket can kiss my ass!

[BJoe]

So that email was real? Guess I'm going to start pulling pics of there over the next couple days and put them on my portable HD for now, any recommendations on a new host site?


quick edit, I do have this pic on there somewhere, might be the only one left when I'm done purging too..............

[Noll11]

Same here. now I have to download 3600 pics, put them on another host, and fix lots of threads. What a pain.

[calcagno45]

Justifies the $20 blue star a little more.

[STANG KILLA SS]

well that sucks. been threw this once before with imageshack
lost all my old photos :(
of course those actual files and computers are long gone. so they were lost for good.

If you have Google Photos the linked method seems to work..

They work for me. I don't know if you guys can see them.

The link that shows the how to. I have tried this method before. It didn't work for everyone, which is why I got Photobucket in the first place..
