chops1sc Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 So I got an email from Photobucket about 3rd party hosting and how I needed to upgrade my account. It seems they are forcing us to pay $400 a year to be able to put our pictures on message boards. Am I reading into this correctly? Is anyone else having this issue? I noticed all of my posts with pictures have the special thumbnail talking about upgrading. Poor decision on their part IMO. I have used Photobucket for over 10 years. Looks like I will be getting my pictures back and closing my account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Bowtie Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 One of the hunting forums I belong to have had several posts on this topic also. I guess there are some other sites to use, but don't know anything about them. Since most forums have upgraded, I haven't had to worry about using photobucket to post my photos. One sad thing on the hunting site I visit, a guy had a very large post on how to mange your land with a ton of photos. He has since passed, so now those images cannot be seen.

Yeah a bunch of car and motorcycle forums had a ton of useful "how to" threads with a bunch of pictures. And now we cant see them. Since theyre so old, its highly unlikely theyll repost them too.
