Photobucket Images

[Meadow]

Quite a few people have Photobucket images in their signatures. Photobucket have now disabled third party hosting unless folk pay an extortionate sum of money - $400 I understand. The rest of us aren't seeing the intended image, we're seeing a terms of service image.

Might be a good time to find another third party host folks.

What's Photobucket?

It's what we used to use to take photos before you whippersnappers got your smart phones.

For the record, I use imgur, does the job.

I use tinypic. Shit for popups but it works.

Gyazo for me. Extremely efficient.

This is a tragedy.

How is Mr. Fastidious going to accidentally share fifty-three nude pictures of his wife now?

Yeah I remember this one, comedy gold

Is it possible to easily transfer images stored on photobucket to another hosting site such as Gyazo, imgur, etc?

I don't think there's a shortcut from downloading your images onto your local computer or whatever, then upload them again to another provider. Bit of a pain if you've got lots of images.

It can be done, there is a facility in PB to download photos as a .zip file, I've just shifted about 5000 photos off and uploaded onto Flickr. Took about half an hour.

Cheers for the tip, I found this on PB support, I'll be shifting the album over shortly.
