Sell out out pieces of crap have all my freaking photos hostage! For third party sharing! They want like 299.00 or 399.00 to get my pics back. My whole build thread is pictureless now along with every other photobucket picture copied.

Can't you just copy all your photo's back into your computer? I use them for 3rd party access, but I still have all the original photo's in my computer, plus I have most of them on a CD also.

Update, I just went to their site and found this: http://blog.photobucket.com/please-review-latest-changes-photobucket/ If you notice they say that you can download your pics back onto your own computer at anytime by following the four steps they outline. SO at least you can get your pics back. Looks like they just got really greedy and completely destroyed their image as a free site. UGH.

Anyways, here is a link to 12 different sites that offer free image hosting. (Well, since Photobucket isn't doing that anymore I guess there's really only 11) https://www.lifewire.com/free-image-hosting-sites-3486329

I just used Photobucket for the pics in my last post, didn't seem any different than it used to be.

I guess they are going in alphabetical order, my pics are all blocked now...but the only pics I have in Photobucket were for sharing with you guys...is there a downside to allowing "3rd party hosting"?

Everything I have on there is already on the internet.

Ah, I see, it costs $399.00/year for 3rd party hosting.

Sorry, I don't like you guys that much.
