Photobucket now wants $399 a year for third party hosting
« on: June 30, 2017, 11:50:40 PM »
I saw this on another site. Photobucket is breaking image links and demanding users to pay $399 for third party hosting. I've checked a couple of my old threads and so far so good for me. However, I did notice Rollguy's signature has his pics blocked by Photobucket. I'm downloading all the pics I have on Photobucket in case they lock me out. I have pics all over the net and it would be next to impossible to fix the threads I have linked pics from  Photobucket.

Just for the record. At the den you do not need a third party service. Just hit attachments and other options button and choose your photo. That button is right below the box you type your message in.

Found this article in today's Denver Post about Photobucket and their new policy plus all the backlash they've taken:

Flickr and imgur can be a good alternative to Photobucket.
