Switched to imgur a while back, couldn't be happier as its so much easier to use with the apps. Not fun transferring images but I don't have a huge amount like some people.

Imgur's website actually provides you with the links to let you do stuff that breaches their terms of service. Just like Photobucket did.

At the start, I said I'd happily pay for a service if I considered it a reasonable price. I didn't like $400 per year. $100 per year (even if that's US$) I will seriously consider.

Google photo's. No issue (that i'm aware of) with 3rd party hosting, unlimited storage if you elect to upload in "standard" quality and no cost. Try it, you have nothing to loose. All my blog pics have now gone over there.

There is a Photobucket alternative.

Free and Australian.

well it seems adding the"-tmp.jpg" is now not embedding a
google photo file to this forum....Grrrrrr

Yet others that I posted earlier are still showing.


has there been a forum code update? or is it at googles end?

I just use Chrome with the photobucket add-on and all is well.

It appears that Photobucket has backed away from charging for third-party links.

My following post does not use "~original" at the end of the URL compared to the two photos on the previous page.

Just had a quick look at the email I was sent. For 3rd party hosting privileges the cheapest is US$2.49 per month with 2GB storage.

Rehashing an old thread......

Not sure if anyone has noticed, but the extortion PB tried to use on everyone must have failed.

PB now 3rd party host all your pics with no ~original or other workaround. They just watermark the image.

So I guess that is a win.

Pity those that deleted their pics or accounts. I left mine intact but swapped to google photo's as an alternate free hosting source. So My blog and forum posts from that era is back in business -but at some stage I will move all my blog to google when time permits.
