For users of Photobucket

I wasn't aware they had stopped the ability to right-click on an image to get the image address. Is this on desktop or mobile?

right click works on mine... but have noticed some thread photos worked yesterday aren't working today
I also think it has to do with how much bandwidth you've been swallowing..

I'm using Flickr, had the account for years but never used it. Seems a lot less messy than PB.

I'd make copies.. I can't see them deleting accounts.

BUT
Free account : .....  If a free account Member exceeds their Content Limit, their account will be immediately suspended and they will need to become a "Paying Member" (defined below) in order to continue accessing their account.

Does this mean you'll be locked out and lose your photos

I have backups but I still have 100's of photos linked online in various places.

I am only using 5% of my allocated space and thats taken me 11 years so I should be ok in that regard.

Just checking my photo's & saw that both of your entries in the "Splashes of Colour" photo comp have now disappeared

yep I have been doing some looking around and my images on another forum that gets a lot of bandwidth have been pinged too.

What a bunch of wallys, as if I am going to pay 400 a year to keep using them. Its almost criminal that they allow us to link to forums for a decade and then do this. Im off to find another image host service.

Website hosting isn't that expensive anymore. thats what I'd be looking at...sadly http://www.dannyg.com/ has been taken

I feel that most of the "free" hosts will want their share of the pie, so you'll go and change and then update all your broken links, and in 12mths be ****ed again

lol yes but dannygelston.com is in use....although not been updated for a while.

You have a point. I was just in the process of moving my images over to imgur but I think you are right, it will most likely only happen again in the future.

It might be easier to just put all my images on my own server that I use for ozisuzu.com.au as we have massive amounts of space and bandwidth.

and has a broken fotobucket link at the top front
I didn't look any further as theres only 2309482348932098 places on your page I wanna go to

I didn't think anyone could break the interwebs... Well done to Ontela!
In December 2009, Fox's parent company, News Corp, sold Photobucket to Seattle mobile imaging startup Ontela. Ontela then renamed itself Photobucket Inc. and continues to operate as Photobucket.

Seems just like another form of ransom ware to me  have to wonder at just how legal it is to back date terms and conditions

Hi,
    Desktop, I haven't figured out how to right click using the tablet.

It's like this. Basically a contract is an offer, an acceptance and a consideration. Without the last bit it aint really a contract that has any legal teeth re compensation for either party withdrawing from what is just an arrangement among friends. No legal system forces you to be friends for life and besides that might be considered harsh and unconscionable in many cases

So has anyone been locked out of their account.. chattin to mate on MSN sent me this link...

http://www.patrol4x4.com/forum/6110945-post8.html

I am one very pissed off person right now. Ive been using photobucket for over 10 years and I am now locked out.
Every pic on there was prior to yesterday's change of policy.
They are holding my pics for ransom and want $399 for me to retrieve them. Alot of them are only on photobucket as I lost a heap of data a few years ago.
According to their new terms and conditions. Even if I pay yhe money. It does not guarantee that I can get my pics back as their new terms say that even if I pay the money they can lock me out for no reason. Ffs im taking this further.

"Photobucket reserves the right to terminate your Membership at any time (even if you've paid a monthly or annual subscription), without warning for any or no reason, with or without prior notice or explanation and*without liability, and can even take legal action if needed."

Not that I'm aware of Bird, I'll check soon, but I was ok last night, just cant link them via a third party.

Not that I'm too concerned, most pics I kept the originals anyway, no way would I use any 3rd party to keep my originals. They are stored on multiple hard drives and kept in different locations - the best backup plan, if a little tedious and cumbersome.

I note earlier someone mentioned google pictures. As my blog is google, that was my thought too. Having a play around on another forum this arvo before I came here and read that suggestion, I found how to embed the pic. Open the pic, then right click. select "copy image location".

Then add the image tags by clicking the add image button on the text box you are writing in - (its underneath the Bold font button) and copy that image location you just copied (Ctl + V) in between those tags. The last part of that copied link text will be -no   

what you then have to do is add  -tmp.jpg after the -no bit. That worked on that other forum.

And if it works here, you will see my black fella feet:

[sharkcaver]

All good, pic from google pictures has embedded in this forum too. So I'm thinking Google Pictures will be my solution.

Your google account will allow up to 15Gb of storage if you select "original quality" as your upload resolution.

Select "high quality" and you have unlimited storage.

The question now is how long will google pictures last in this format??

I worry if photof@ckers get away with this, the others will eventually follow. So I just hope Google will be a better proposition.

F@rk me, do I have some pictures to now resize, upload and link back to my blog. I'm not going to redo my forum posts, they are now dead.

Just checked PB, looks like my pics are safe, but far out its slow. Once I get over the shock of redoing everything, I will have great pleasure in deleting my Shit from there and giving them my sayonara, arrivederci, one finger salute or just plain ole F@rk u - select which term suits you best.

[Bird]

if you open your albums then on the right side under ACTIONS is DOWNLOAD ALBUM

I'm downloading all mine

few users in that patrol forum thread have been locked out of their accounts!!

[Bird]

I'm wondering what PB thinks at the moment with everyone running away.. wonder if that's what they expected..

[sharkcaver]

Trying to charge a non commercial entity $400US per year, I cant see how they could have thought any less would happen. Thanks for the download tip, That might just save me having to resize crap again. I'll give it a whirl 

[Rumpig]

Haven't checked my account to see how it is, but if I get locked out I have all my pics saved at full res here at home anyway.
