Ekona Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Which assumes that I don't think that the forum hosting photos is a good thing. It's a very good thing, not only because it's free to me but also because it's not me in charge of policing it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekona Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Can you imagine?! It'd be like giving a fat kid a room full of Maltesers and expecting him not to eat any: I'd be deleting stuff all over the place! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stutopia Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 If anyone is trying to follow a guide or some other important activity which requires the use of these "missing" images, if you right click on the dummy PB images and select "Open image in new tab/window" you can still view the actual image.

Mopedmark Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 I pay $2.99 a month for the upgrade on photo bucket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glrnet Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 I pay $2.99 a month for the upgrade on photo bucket Mark, as I understand it that's just for increased storage space, if you want to post on 3rd party sites sucha s ours the charge is apparently $399 per annum according to other sources.

Aashenfox Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Don't know how photobucket will carry on now. Nobody is going to use them. Unless they are reinventing themselves for some totally different purpose, I don't understand how this is a good business decision. I find it hard to believe that a lawyer couldn't argue that the damage they have done to existing internet content amounts to destruction of people's intellectual property (though I'm sure there is some fine print that is supposed to protect them, but we all know the fine print means nothing unless the judge agrees that it's appropriate, reasonable and consummate with the service provided). Not to mention they must be without a conscience. Several professional reviews of products for which I was paid thousands of dollars (total, not each!) are now ruined and I have no obligation to repair them for the people who I wrote them for (it was their decision to keep my photobucket links and not download for their own hosting) nor do I have the originals for most of those now. Even if not criminal, it's criminally stupid, cos I now hate them with an absolute passion for essentially ruining half the 'free hosted' internet. DIY guides are ruined, picture threads on every forum, it beggars belief. Sorry if this has all been said earlier, I didn't have time to read the thread entirely right now, I'll do so later. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekona Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 I read that thread on FB, I thought the author made a very valid point. Also, and this may just be me, but I think he's kinda hot too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davey_83 Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Same here, no images just a link to pay for subscription Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebized Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Been getting the email messages from PB for a few months now about the a/c being restricted that just goes to trash. Even though it means some lost images from some 3 years when I swapped from pc to apple (when I had not backed them up as I do on icloud now), there is no way I am going to take up their ransom demand.

coldel Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 My images still seem active and fine, although havent actually logged in since the P500 business started up - maybe it initiates this when you log in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I have seen on here you might get the image you see in post No.2 on this thread, instead of your pics - that is if PB have deemed you have used up your free allowance if such a thing still exists.

Ekona Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 They have millions of accounts, it will take time to get round to everyone especially once word got out at everyone started hammering their servers to download pics. Col, how many images do you have in your account roughly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliveBoy Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 I was at 3% of the storage and got an email on friday informing me that I've been chosen. It seems to be working it's way through slowly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldel Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 At a guess I had a couple of hundred pictures on there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Same as me then, and I've not been notified yet either. Looks like they're hitting the big users first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldel Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Would make sense, those are the ones that are most likely to want to hang on to their images... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
