Photobucket !!!!

I used PB for a while a few years back but got sick of the crappy website and performance so I now use Imagur. Imagur is good but sometimes it hangs due to overload from users. Still, it's much better than PB.

+1 for imgur...never had any problems with it.

On my forum I am currently test an add-on to convert hotlinked images to attachments, to save hundreds of threads with no pictures as a lot are picture heavy.

It's all about Imgur. Photobucket is just too slow and clunky.

Admiral Huddy · 30 Jun 2017 at 14:05

Gone right downhill over the years.. Shame as it was once very easy and simple to use.

Delvis · 30 Jun 2017 at 15:19

Personally don't have much problem with it, bit clunky now with ads everywhere. But serves it's purpose for storing.

If I want to just upload something (for here for instance) I'll use imgur

What a joke! LOL

Switched to imgur.

Thats been a lifesaver when looking at old forum threads that have photobucket images that have been 500 nuked. Seems to work for the most part.

Thats 2 very detailed project logs the they ruined, + various other things, well not impressed, as i guess thousands of people are.....

Dont see their thinking behind it either, not like there are not plenty of other free hosting sites to choose from

Photobucket threads are as rife as eBay threads in GD.

People, you must have seen the signs?

Lol. Photobucket. Do you also use AOL and MSN?

Internet Explorer just posted an update.

Honest question - why would you use photo bucket?

Photobucket, AOL, MSN and Internet Exploder all fall in the same basket - obsolete crap.

Users of Photobucket and Imageshack - start using Imgur or Postimage.
Users of AOL, Prodigy and Demon - start using Virgin Media or PlusNet.
Users of MSN and AIM - start using Jabber or IRC or if you really insist... Facebook chat

Users of Internet Exploder and Edge - start using Chrome, Firefox, Opera or Safari.

They reorganized and after all... demanded users to pay crazy money (like 500$ for sharing pictures ? lol... go back to caves). There is NO PHOTOBUCKET for normal use since.
The same is with their "child" - TinyPic.
Timewasters.
Went to GoDaddy for some cheap hosting, so now I can share my pics in my own domain ;-)

[FnG]magnolia · 28 Aug 2017 at 00:33

Why is their logo not a picture of a bucket being photographed?

NO I DON'T WORK IN MARKETING DAD. UHHHHH!

Pixel · 28 Aug 2017 at 05:44

No one uses Photobucket anymore as they decided that attempting to fleece anyone who comes within 2 clicks of them is more important than providing a good service.

Long live Imgur.

Because I began using PB a decade ago I was always putting off downloading all my pics but very glad I spent the time and moved on from PB. It helped my 7 year build thread on a car forum was also deleted when the forum ended.
