I’m guessing it’s still a shitty website though?

siraxeman

As it always was really, its free and offers a lot of storage for your pics.....but it does seem a bit slow waiting for your page to load up when you click on a pic from your album...

Neil

Thanks for letting us know! 

bingefeller

I don’t see a pic, just a link.  I’m on mobile.  

siraxeman

yeah but on a pc it shows the pic not the linky!

Strangefan

Hmm I can't bring myself to believe it as it's come from siraxeman do you have any YouTube videos for proof? 

Bridgehouse

No thanks. No, I don't want a free iPhone 7

I would imagine it's too late and that those who can have migrated to something else, I know I have.

I'm just seeing the "update your account to enable 3rd party hosting" image.

That's a Westie called Pippy and Clapton's 'Blackie' couldn't buy her!

siraxeman

Just as well I don't own a CV Strat then! nice hound though!

OK I see the pictures now on my normal computer.

well, irrespective of price, it was to all intents and purposes unusable before. Unless they've radically upgraded their site, I will continue not to use it. Imgur seems streets ahead.

Hopefully that means a lot of old content on the web will become fully functional again.  The support of the images are intrinsic to a lot of dialogue for meaning.

It seemed criminal to me that so much pictorial support on forums (etc) could be neutralised in such a callus way by short sighted company greed.  So let's hope the legacy images are back to stay this time.

Good god no. I was happy when they stopped 3rd party hosting. You have to avoid any thread with Photobucket links like the plague on the mobile site, utter rubbish 

ThorpyFX

Regardless, i couldn't trust them after the trick they pulled.

I don't think Photobucket ever went away.

I posted all those pictures of my holiday in New York using it, but to be fair, I've.been using a PC and not a mobile device.

Trude

Please, just don't.  I can guarantee that if you use Photobucket for images in the classifieds, I will never buy what you're selling.  I've had my mobile browser hijacked by those wankers too many times.

I'd rather look at an artist's impression done using ASCII characters.....
