Photobucket

[genna8]

Hi

All my postings with the exeption of my most recent - Ivy Manor- were uploaded using Photobucket. They have now taken down every one of them in an attempt to get me to buy a premium service. They can of course go to hell after all the inconvenience they've caused me but what I want to know is is there any way I can upload my images again using a more reliable service without having to have all my postings deleted and starting from scratch?

I'v been of there for years.

I thought you had to pay for Flickr too.after so many images

 

[Newage]

I pay for a pro account, no adverts and no upload limits, but just need to read what they have to offer.

Flickr changed that two or more years ago. It's unlimited now.

There's no easy way to do it I'm afraid genna8.

Thank you krela. .I know I pay about two dollars a month for photobucket..maybe time to change then.

I used Photobucket before too. Changed to Flickr because I preferred the interface and layout...then that changed too Cest la vie.

I Have uploaded with both but I prefer Flickr. It has changed a bit over the years but is still the best and a great source of inspiration.

I've always used Photobucket both at home and at work. The interface is definitely a bit clunky, but I've never got sufficiently irritated to transfer evverything over to Flickr.

At work, we get a warning when we get near our (free) limit, so we download and archive old stuff. Which is a bit of a pain.

They are seriously out of order deleting your stuff without warning.

They don't delete stuff without warning, they block public access to images for a few days if they get x number of views within a certain time frame in the hope that you'll upgrade to a paid account so people can view them again.

It's a free service and it's all in their T&Cs. You get what you (don't) pay for...
