It's may not be reasonable to complain about something one has been receiving for free, but I'm going to do it anyway. If you use Photobucket you already know the flood of pop-ups there have been getting worse and worse. Now, Photobucket has discontinued 3rd. party hosting of images stored there unless you buy their "PLUS 500" plan for $400 a year. Otherwise, any image you try to post from your Photobucket account will show up like this: What's worse, all of those images you've posted over the years will no longer show up unless you pay the ransom. That's going to have a real negative effect on many forums, especially those with reference and "how to" posts. Is there any way to add a photo to a post here by loading it directly from your PC file, rather than using a hosting site?

I hadn't heard about that.
But sure just click on the 5th icon button over Upload file. Then click on the Browse button. Find the picture and click save to put in post. Then the save all files. Something like that, pretty easy. Direct from your device to the forum.

Over the last two weeks I've seen that "3rd. party hosting suspended" banner in post by others on a few different forums, but my photos were showing up just fine. Then today, I got the hammer. They will likely get to you also.

Free to store, but no more 3rd. party hosting. So you can't post them on forums, email, facebook, etc.

I stopped using them a little over a year ago when all the ads slowed my uploading to a craw and made it almost impossible to load anything. BUT......then they offered a plan to bypass all the ads. Flipped them the finger and said adios! What I don't understand about loading direct to THF is about half my pics load sideways regardless of their orientation on my computer.

If you take a pic with your phone be sure to hold the phone in horizontal (iphone would be with the home button on the right). This will take the pic in correct orientation. Otherwise likes been said edit pic to correct orientation.

What will appear in the text box is the code to the pic. If you will then click "preview reply" the actual pic should appear. Then "submit".
If this isn't it then you do need help with the process.

Same here, it's been years. Apparently some here still do. Still a mystery to me. I still use it or Flickr because I can't get photos to post directly through THF about 60% of the time. It is very hit and miss. As far as Photobucket, the popups alone are enough to run me off. I'm done with that POS.

Looks like this is for real. I just noticed my sig pics are no longer showing and are replaced by the icon saying I need to unlock my account (really means I need to pay them some money because my account is not locked). I went to Photobucket website and looked in their updated terms of use and they are in fact not allowing any third party hosting if you have a free account.
I aint paying them any money so I will delete my sig pics here in a bit.

I have seen a few other members affected as well. Not sure if they are just doing a certain number of accounts at once or what but at first my pics were not affected either........that changed yesterday along with several other members also. My guess is they are doing this in phases to keep from pissing everyone off all at once. Whatever the case may be I was done with them a year ago so no biggie to me. I figure its only a matter of time before all free accounts are affected since its clearly spelled out in their terms of use.

I deleted my Photobucket account yesterday. I have many posts on various muzzle loading forums with pictures of a variety of guns, target results with various projectiles and loads, and lots of "how to" stuff. Also, on three food plot forums with posts on no-till techniques, experiments and results. Those posts got a lot of views. It really pissed me that those pictures can no longer be viewed, rendering those threads just about useless.
I could understand it if Photobucket stopped 3rd. party hosting of new material. But to wipe out stuff that was previously hosted is really rotten.
Opened a free Flickr account yesterday. HEY! No pop-up. And fairly user friendly once you get used to their processes.

They succeeded in pissing off a bunch of people. Will be interesting to see how their business model turns out.
I paid for a subscription to their service but have sent them an email to cancel.

Well they got me today. Imageshack did the same thing a few years back. So much for free. I'll just store them on my computer and use direct upload from here on out. Not much of a pain pain but that is what I do. Only used them for Gifs anyway... I need my gifs back though dammit. You can click to download them to your computer. Takes an act of congress but you can get them. Well chit. I saved them all as .gif in a folder with the rest of my degenerate forum type things. me too brother, I also had a folder with pics of my dad saved on there and they won't let me get those back either. Bastards.

I don't get why so many use PB. there are better ways My problem is not with posting new pictures. It's with some old threads that I have saved. I did several quail hunting photo essays. They all come up without the pictures. There is one old thread that a friend did and his pictures still show up on there but mine do not. The friend no longer uses photobucket. Here you go; http://texashuntingforum.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/2974043/Quail_and_Oysters#Post2974043[quote=ET1]Last Saturday Bill, and his Cracker, Chris and his Clifford and Sandy, my wife and I and my dogs, Yeats and Zorro, did a lot of quail finding and very little shooting. We shot one bird and we will keep up that pace until this drought is over. It has rained and there is water in these pictures, but the drought is not over so we are being extreme conservationists. The dogs found eleven good coveys. Yeats (the red setter) and Zorro honoring: Yeats with the point, Cracker honoring: Cracker with the point, Yeats and Sandy honoring, my wife with flushing and shooting duty: My wife trying to flush a single Yeats has pointed. (It was a bit to her right.) Water dogs: Clifford, Yeats and Cracker sharing a point or pointing birds spread out in thick bushes: Sandy on point: Cracker on point: Two happy campers: After the hunt, there were three happy eaters of crab, oysters and shrimp. Poor Chris is alergic so he had to eat tofu. Ha!:

Either you pay $400 to PB or you do cannot post or send your pictures anywhere or to anyone - this is pretty stupid on their part - this will put them out of business -

How do you get the URL on flicker? I moved it all from PB to flicker. Select your picture on Flickr. The picture will appear in a larger black rectangle. At the bottom right corner of that rectangle is a "Share" icon - it looks like a curving arrow pointing to the upper right. Click on that icon to display the share box. At the top of the share box click on the BBCode. Copy and paste the BBC into your post. Note: Pasting the entire BBCode will add some text before and/or after your posted picture. If you want to eliminate that text, delete those parts of the BBCode that appear before the after the IMG code (i.e. before [img] and after [/img] before clicking on the Submit button for your post.

If you guys are concerned with photo storage you might think about getting a memory/hard drive to load them on rather than relying on a third party site....it's what I've done so I don't have to worry about losing photos. I use Photobucket but pretty much only for use to help me load them online for this and other sites. Currently photobucket still works for me.

Got this in my email this morning:
WE NOTICED THAT YOU HAVE BEEN USING PHOTOBUCKET FOR 3RD PARTY HOSTING*
PLEASE UPGRADE TO A PLUS 500 PLAN.
Our Terms of Service does not allow 3rd party hosting with your current account level. UPGRADE NOW
*What is 3rd Party Hosting? Photobucket defines 3rd party hosting as the action of embedding an image or photo onto another website. For example, using the <img> tag to embed or display a JPEG image from your Photobucket account on another website such as a forum, Etsy, eBay auction listings, a blog, etc. is definitively 3rd party hosting.
I politely told them to stuff it.

I downloaded what I wanted (as some of them were lost to a swimming phone) and deleted the rest. Then deleted my account. The process of uploading with them stinks anyhow. I quit using them when I started using Tapatalk. Shame this forum doesn't work with that.

Bobcat, how did you get the photo to show up? Created a Flickr account and went to photograph, clicked on the share arrow, then clicked BBCode and copied everything including [img] and everything in between and [/img]. When you copy the BBCode it copies more than you need so you have to delete everything before [img] and after [/img] when pasting it here. Worked perfect. It is still much easier to upload directly from the 5th icon from the left in the message box on this site.
