Photobucket Extortion Email

[AustinSN]

Mine are OK for now. Guess I will download a shit ton of them and move them to flickr and imgur?

My fear is that all these photo hosting sites are gonna pull the same trick.

is it photobucket or hackers? i have a paid account but i havent had to use it much lately with the new forum layout. and i believe all the pics in my photobucket are on my computer. that's where i typically upload from

It is FB, not hackers.

i assume you meant PB, not FB.

so theyre holding people's pics hostages? everyone now has to pay to use their site? $400??

 

[Steve@TF]

just checked one of my old GB threads to pull some pricing and saw that all the pics are down.

ah well. from now on ill just be uploading them directly.

The best thing to do here on SVTP is to just drag and drop the image from your device. No need for a 3rd party host.

That is what I have been doing for a while now.

Except smackdown. Why is that feature not available in SD Sid?

@ZYBORG needs to know about this and other people too. there sig says 3rd party hosting disabled.

Luckily i dont use that shit host site either.

Thanks for the heads up Serpent, had noticed PB acting a shit show lately. Had no idea about the email. I just noticed my sig acting up..

Heres a pic of what your sig looks like:

Just fixed a thread I had been posting in recently, what an ordeal to fix with my shitty internet.

 

[ZYBORG]

Thats my sig .... Roaches!

 

[ZYBORG]

I think I fixed my sig. if i use the ladies no from the desktop site, shit doesnt work. If I do it mobile and just copy the picture and paste that into the "image URL" link on this site, it seems to work.

I downloaded the SVTP mobile app just for directly uploading pictures. I was using PB because sites didnt support it. I dont think I have stuff posted anywhere thats going to get enough traffic to shut me down so I'll leave my photos on PB indefinitely. I'll just download them to have a copy for myself

 

[Dusten]

I started downloading my albums. I'm not paying $400 a year to use third party hosting. I'll use flickr

Is this only if you are over a certain amount? I just went on mine and all my pictures are still there. I only have a couple hundred maybe though. Btw to me the website it's a total nightmare. So many ads my computer barely runs. The app seems to work fine for me though

The pics are still on photobucket and accessible, but anywhere you posted them 3rd party are dead, for a lot of people anyway.

 

[Never_Enough]

Well, goodbye PB. They are doing this to me too.

We've been having issues here with them and there pictures.

 

[96dreamer]

So whats the best alternative to photobucket for 3rd party hosting? I know we can host on this site but I have build threads on a few other forums for various things as well that are now worthless.

TinyPic, Flickr, google pics, IMGUR (doesn't work here though).

 

[tones_RS3]

As for posting from a desktop pc, what site(s) are you guys using?
I might try Flickr and see if it works any better.

Seems like 4 out of 5 times I try uploading here directly from my phone, I get told the image is too large. All of my stuff was on Photobucket as well, no chance in hell im paying money to embed my images
