Photobucket app has about 70000 ads on there so I'm surprised they arent making enough dolla off that!

probably the cost to expand their digital storage isn't sustainable, look at how much facebook has to increase their storage a day.

I use Photopucket.......being paying $2.99 a month for years to use it and I far exceeded their free limit within a short time. No idea who is paying €399 though??.....my subscription hasn't changed....yet!

I don't mind a few quid as I don't even consider that a cost BUT charge me €35 a month and you can look at my build thread and imagine what the wheels like as I won't be posting pictures anymore.

I wonder how long before Facebook and Instagram start charging?! 

They'll probably justify it with another convenient flood at the only place in the world that makes hard drive controllers  :grin:

Chaps,

I dont know if this works for everyone but Ive found a workaround that works for me. Its not neat, but it works and will be useful for some of the 'How To' guides at least...

(Im using Google Chrome if that makes a difference)

- Right click the photo and click 'Open in New Tab' (When it opens in a new tab it will still show the Photobucket ransom message)
- Hold Ctrl & press F5 to refresh the page and once it refreshes you should be able to see said image
- Said image should even now show up in the post you were viewing originally (may have to refresh it)

Let me know if it works for you :happy2:

Another shout for Imgur over here. Works fine for direct linking.

There is a Google chrome extension that will make photobucket images work, but this is probably only useful for viewing on pc.

Yeah I noticed that yesterday.

It's a good idea so the page isn't littered in links but the downside is if I were to write my thread again with photos using imgur, I wouldn't know what photos to include as reference.
