Their support is good, but since nothing ever seems to go wrong I haven't used it much. Their premium membership is $79.95 per year and allows for storing up to 3500 photos or 200 mb usage. If you run your photos through an editor to get them down to about 250K size, realistically you are looking at 800 photos. Of course you can create another account (same email is allowed) and pay another $79.95 for another 800. I don't store all my photos there, just the ones I want to share on the web, so 800 has been plenty so far. I remember now I couldn't transfer from photobucket because it wouldn't let me so I just reloaded from my hard drive. | |||

Thank you mate. That was gold dust  I own an electronics assembly small business but I am slow on tech savvy. I have a total of over 25 domain names linked to one website. They are with Go Daddy & My Domain. That one website is also my email account. I just realised yesterday that hosting is in NZ with my web developer - for ease of support. Hosting here is 5 times the US cost! $200 a year for my business is a cost I am willing to pay for ease of access / support for a major marketing infrastructure. I now found that data storage space in NZ will cost me another US$200 a year and not a lot of capacity! My Domain will upgrade my email web account to include hosting (photo storage) for US$36 extra per year! Yes it is a lot easier to do than to explain etc!

Just checked & found my PB account is 53% full with 612 photos. Their basic plan is 52GB, the next is 102 GB & the top $400 plan is 502GB! I guess that people who have hi res pics and videos will chew up capacity very quickly. I need to check out Saeed's HTML option. "When the wind stops....start rowing.

For what it's worth, after my last experience with Photobucket, where I was barely able to upload photos due to all the ads, I looked around and decided to try imgur.com. This afternoon, I just replaced by trip report photos hosted at Photobucket with photos hosted at imgur.com. From what I can see, the advantages to imgur is that there are no ads (that I saw), it has a very uncluttered interface, and changing out my links to Photobucket pictures was "relatively easy" (Your mileage may vary.) Oh yes, it's free. If there are disadvantages, I'd be glad to hear about them. For what it's worth, here's a short tutorial based on my experience today. This might help you if you want to give it a try. Or not. The steps were something like: 1. Login to imgur.com with my Google account. 2. Create a new album. 3. Drag and drop the photos to upload them. (All done from my desktop computer; I have not looked to see what is possible with phone apps.) 4. Resize each photo to a width of 1024 pixels. I did this on the web interface rather than resizing the photos before I uploaded them. If I was using a slow internet connection, I might resize the photos first. Then, from accuratereloading.com, I: 6. Opened my post. and pressed the edit button. 7. I selected and copied all the text from my post to notepad. 8.  The BBCode image tags are obtained by hovering the mouse over your photo and clicking on the down caret, then choosing "Get share links"  That will give you this choice; click on "BBCode (Forums)"  Then, paste the image tag into your text file and replace the Photobucket image tag. 9. When I was done replacing all the BBCode image tags that pointed to Photobucket with new ones that pointed to imgur.com, I copied the entire revised text and pasted it into the edit window, replacing the old text.

For what it's worth, I made a 7-minute video tutorial on how to use imgur.com to post photos in the AR forums. It's in the "Forum Suggestions and help requests from members" forum.

Would it be a decent idea to pay for a month of photobook rent in order to get your photos sorted out and reposted via another hosting site? I read Saeed's post but have no idea what he is talking about. | |||

Ross, From my understanding of their pricing. You are Commited for a year. You Might pay monthly. They charge you for the year. Not sure I'm correct, but that's how I interrupted it. Best regards, Darin | |||

It's my understanding but I may be wrong that all your photo's all still there at PB, they have just shut down 3rd party use in order to gain some income from the few who will pay up, so you can get them off the site if you don't already have them stored on your computer. | |||

If they charged $3.99 per year for the 2 GB program and allowed 3rd party hosting they would would still keep nearly all of their customers. Several firms estimate Photobucket has more than 100 million users, all but a fraction are free users. If only 1% of those were to agree to pay $3.99 per year that's $3,990,000 per year for Photobucket. But to charge 100 times that, $399 annually, is absolute lunacy. I bet now they will lose nearly every customer, including enterprise customers who will now wonder just how safe they are from a similar massive price increase. . | |||

When I posted a hunt report on a bunch of forums a couple of years ago and Photobucket told me that I had exceeded their view limits so I gladly paid $29 for the yearly upgrade. I just opened up an Imgur account and I will be abandoning Photobucket. Frank "I don't know what there is about buffalo that frightens me so.....He looks like he hates you personally.

Timely thread. Main reason I had a Photobucket account was so I could post photos on forums and classifieds. PB recently disabled my ability to do this for violating their third-party hosting rule, of which I was unaware. This makes PB useless in addition to irritating. Now going with Imgur. I wonder if there is a way to transfer my photos from PB to Imgur. There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t. – John Green, author | |||

Guys, PictureTrail is easy to use and it has too be because I figured it out and I'm a Tech moron. Also it's much quicker than PB every was. The small price does not scare me. PB can go pound sand.

Sent support@photobucket.com this love note this morning, and I am sure they are getting many more. Greatly dismayed by your policy change to disallow third-party hosting for any but top-tier subscribers. You have not just become useless to me, you have eliminated hundreds of images in countless threads that I have posted over the past 10 or more years. I think this move by Photobucket will prove to be a disaster and destroy your brand — already in trouble due to ad clutter and unreliability. You have sewn discord and will reap its bitter fruit. There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t. – John Green, author | |||

I just set up a picture trail account as well...but because of a computer crash and not backing things up like I should have, Photobucket has hunting pictures of mine that I don't have access to anywhere else.  | |||

Log into Photophucket and choose Download Library. It will create a compressed zip file of all your photos in your/each library and then tell you it is ready for you to download. You can get all of your pictures back, even ones Photobucket doesn't let you see. Unfortunately it does not work for videos. You will have to download those one at a time. . | |||

Thanks for that, I was going through photos one by one trying to save the most valuable ones. This saves me a ton of time. For all non-computer guys like me: The "Download library" button is way over to the right under the links that you use to post photos.

And may I suggest that anyone downloading their photos gets a download manager? Makes it much quicker too. | |||
