Photobucket no more Image hosting

[AcuDefTechGuy]

I recently tried to post some pictures on the forum with Photobucket like I've always done. But it didn't work.

It seems Photobucket no longer allows FREE "3rd Party Hosting". You have to pay like $36 per month for this now.

We should just get BSA to do it. He's not doin' nuthin'.

I ain't doing nothing. Got a job a month ago

Imgur I guess I one of many options

I use imgur for the pics over which I want to retain control (like pictures of my gear), and postimg.io or tinypic for the disposable uploads (winisd graphs, snarky animated gifs, etc). As far as I'm aware, none of them have ever become the red x placeholder.

We lost a lot of pics on our Mercury Veradoclub Forum, when contacted they quoted a price of $400 annually

I have used Smugmug for years.

I just uploaded a picture from Imgur. Looks like I'll be using Imgur from now on. Goodbye Photobucket.

They have lower levels, but those don't support 3rd party. It is $39 a month for 3rd party, but you have to pay for 1yr up front. So that isn't happening.

It would be one thing if they made it a reasonable price, but just because they don't know how to run their business doesn't mean they can charge some ridiculous price for hosting. I think if they made it inexpensive, ESPECIALLY for long time users, they would keep some of their user base. This pretty much will price them out of the market, see ya.

I wonder how many of us use that 3rd party hosting feature? The only time I use that feature was when I was posting pictures here on Audioholics.

I guess the last time I posted pictures here on AH was about 2 or 3 months ago.

So now EVERY picture I have ever posted here on AH (probably like 1,000 pictures) from Photobucket cannot be viewed at all unless you click on the picture and it takes you to the Photobucket website!

here is what I use. Its free. It works well with the AH editor. It was recommended to me by someone here on AH. postimage.org. just open an account with an email address.

FREE PICTURE HOSTING

Yep I removed all of my pics from Photobucket.

imgur here as well. I started using it about 2 years or so ago when photobucket started becoming overburdened with ads.
