I've never had any problems posting pics with Photobucket,but I also pay a $20 yearly fee to get rid of the advertisements.

L What is the purpose of Photobucket anymore? Great question. I seldom use it anymore, except for my old pictures. I don't remember the last time I uploaded a picture there. 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.

I tend to post mostly on forums that I can use tapatalk on. Although if you don't pay a small annual fee there are ads on it now too.

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.

Looks like they got me yesterday as well. My pics showed up yesterday morning, but seems to show their new 'logo' from the first post in this thread. Oh well

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.

I got the hammer today, guess they will get to all of us sooner or later I'll find another hosting site or just store them on my website. Not all forums have the option for direct upload that we have here.

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.

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.
To be determined

I can't believe there's an option to not use photobucket here I didn't know about. Trying to use them is maddening.
