| Put down that Photobucket and use IMGUR for Pete's sake =)
Not sure why so many people use Photobucket here.. There are many better alternatives, namely Imgur or Flickr. Welcome to year 2k, lol. |

better yet, spend the 20 bucks and support the site, then you can upload pics directly here with no issues...

that forum is not my taste... no classifieds, no vendors, except rc4wd which is to be expected with the company forum..besides the more this forum is supported will make sure its around for a long time...I can buy things here that I cant buy on ebay and other places. Not all vendors are selling on other sites like RPP and such.. I like the little guy approach to most of my crawler purchases.

People used photobucket in the past because it was free and worked well enough. In the middle of last year photobucket disabled third party hosting unless you pay them hundreds of dollars each year. This change effects all pictures posted in the past unless the person who uploaded them pays the new subscription. Photobucket shafted many more forums than just this one and I hope they go bankrupt.

+1 for imgur. As I recall, with photobucket and their ilk, the base issue was when you uploaded your images, you were provided with a hot link back to your image, that you then would paste into your forum post. That way anyone clicking on the image would be forwarded to the hosting site, where they would see who was hosting the image, and the supporting adverts, and that was their business model. What (in part) broke their business model was when, rather than using the provided hot link code, you (particularly with the free accounts) simply right-clicked and copied the address for use in your forum post; you removed the click-back to the host, and they received zero advertising revenue. I don't know what photobucket's best plan of action should have been, but what they had was probably going bankrupt. |

Actually photo bucket worked just like Flikr does. You uploaded your picture to photo bucket and then copied a link that had BBC in it that allowed the picture to be viewed on whatever forum you posted it. No clicking was needed and the viewer never went to photo bucket unless they wanted to. Even if you don't go there to view the pictures the poster always had to go there to upload their pictures and therefore view their ads. Apparently the advertisers there decided the traffic wasn't worth what photo bucket was charging them and started leaving so photo bucket had to do something....this is all speculation btw. |

yep i got caught with pants down with photobucket like everyone else. i tried both Flikr and Imgur, and it was a no brainer for me. Imgur was by far most user freindly. in uploading, organizing, and quickness of getting the all important forum img tags for posting. |
