Photobucket limit reached.

I've managed to exceed my bandwidth with Photobucket, thus my previously posted images have been replaced by a bandwidth exceed notice.

Apart from paying for the "pro" version, does anyone know of a workaround for this ?

I have another Photobucket account with a different email address but this still leaves previous posts "molested".

I had this, then all of a sudden, it seemed to reset itself & the account works again.

leave it a week or so, see what happens.

They're a business, if you use over the preset limit then buy the Pro version? :/

That's good to hear, thank you.

No thanks, unless you pay for it

Agreed!

Just get your own hosting. For a tenner a year (if not less) it saves having to use such garbage services.

I have my own "space" but enjoy the ease of use of the Firefox-Photobucket uploader combination.

Looks nice, any idea of allowances, size etc? I can't them.

It resets after a month. I'm a pro account user. £60 for 3\4 years (i think) does not sound too bad, its finally expiring 09/08/2011. I wont be renewing it again, there is no need imo.

Me like.

StoutMeister · 16 Feb 2011 at 17:26

If I start to use imgur, I presume I'll lose all image links to things I've already posted on the forum?

Anybody know if there is a way around this?

Your images should still be hosted at photobucket?

Although there is an extension for firefox & chrome that allows 1 click rehosting with Imgur - just right click on an image, click "upload to imgur" and it copies the path to your clipboard

So, so simple

Yep, imgur is the best. And probably cheapest. Been using the subscription since they brought it out.

edit: and get the addon - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/imgur-uploader

I won't be going for the "pro" account, but thanks for the month-reset info...reassuring.

On it now!

Thank you overclocker peeps for passing on the multi quote info, ahhhhhh!

If you've for example posted a popular project log, and you get a massive number of hits in that month - just pay for a 1 month Pro account, which will get your pics viewable again, and then probably next month it'll be fine, and you won't need the Pro account again.
