 Topic: Photobucket
Posted: 30 Jun 2017 at 10:02pm |
|
I just received notice that photobucket wants to start charging me $60 a year for using their service. If you try to see any of my pictures here, you can't (not even my avatar). Is anyone else being extorted by them? What other site can I use for posting pictures here?
I appreciate any assistance!

read the new agreement terms they published the other day, that $60 won't give you third party rights, which is what you'd need to post on a forum, they got my stuff a couple of days ago, I had a bunch of stuff out I couldn't loose host to, so they got my money for the moment, in full hunt for their replacement now. If I can post for anyone just email picture to me and I'll put it up.

Yeah, I've had about enough of Photobucket's bull too. You can still have a free account, but it seems you can no longer link the photos to other sites like we do here with that free account. So stupid, why else would I want to have an account?! They are getting greedy I guess. I'll have to figure out another site as well because I ain't paying for their fancy upgraded account. I'll welcome any suggestions as well, as I hate to see my posts have dead pictures, but I don't know if I'll ever take the time to redo all of them.... sigh.....

Someone in another forum I visit told me Photobucket wanted $400 from him. He posted linked perhaps one picture a month. I wonder where they came up with their price schedule.

I decided some time ago, I would not be held hostage by others with my pics,,,,so I keep my pics on my hard drive and occaisionally transfer them to a thumb drive. You can now buy thumb drives with up to 156 Gb for only bout $20,,,,and that's a LOT of pics, emails notes etc,,,,,  The problem with using places like Photoshop and others is exactly what they doin now,,,plus the big possibility of the new crop of hackers, scammers and low lifes takin these companies down and then ransoming you big time.

If you don't use photobucket, how can you post pictures on the forum here? I'd like to find/know of a different way to do it. Thanks, Dave

so, do you just click on the picture on your own computer and paste it onto the forum? I didn't think that would work? Dave

I hate the photobucket site. It's so slow it's painful to use. So many ads pop up you can't get anything done. Every time I resize pictures I check the replace original box before I save, but it never works. I always end up with two identical pictures and I have to figure out which is which. I'd post pictures more often if it wasn't so much trouble.

well, I just tried to see if I could copy a picture directly from my computer, and am not able to figure out how to do it. I right clicked on the picture, selected copy, then when I come over here it will not let me paste. What's the trick for doing this?

 Pretty simple task to copy from your own files onto here, just have to go into file manager every so often and delete the older photos so as to not use all your available space.

I just checked and you're allowed 50MB of 'file space', so that's at least 150 photos, if they're about 350KB in size( email quality....)
Now if you register for a Gmail account, they allow LOTS of space for 'files'.
Smart thing is to buy a big flashdrive or external HD and copy what you want. Actually you should backup everything every month or two....just in case...

I found the same thing out this afternoon about the photobucket. I have a lot of my pictures on that site. Most of the Semi loads of tractors. Trying to use Google photo today for the first time. Here are my test pictures. That did not work. Guess try to figure out later

When you want to post a picture from your computer, click on the "tree" icon at the top of the Post reply page. Click Browse and find your picture, click upload and the OK when it tells you to wait. A file name will show in the left hand box. It has to go to the right hand box to view it. If you have a file listed in the left side just copy that file name and paste it to the URL line at the top of the right side. Then, click preview and look at the width and height numbers. If it is over about 600 wide, it won't all fit the page. You can downsize the pic by dividing both of those numbers by 3 or 4 or whatever it takes to get 600 to 800 wide. Once you are happy with the preview, click OK at the bottom toward the right. Sounds kinda involved but is fairly simple once you try it.

I have some old pics on photbucket, but haven't used it in years. I was using Picasa and liked it, but Google decided to end it in favor of their Google Pictures account. I still have ace's to all my pics there, just have to learn a new way to do things thru Google Pics . Seems like everybody has to keep changing things that work, to make it a forever learning process to use a puter.

Ok, followed CTucker's instructions and got it to work. Thanks for the step by step. That's what I needed. Would never have figured it out otherwise. Computers!

trying again just to make sure I've got the sizing thing also figured out. The picture file for the prior picture remained in the "box" when I uploaded this picture. Will it go away or how would I delete it from the box?

Any pictures you upload will remain in the left side. (hint) name them before you upload them or you'll have a bunch of numbered pics you'll have to look thru to find a certain one later.
As long as they remain in your image file, they will show up on your old posts where you shared them. When you run out of space to upload more, you can delete files, but they will no longer show up on your old posts.

Exactly, and this is why some of us need a place to store pics online to share to sites. I prefer to run my threads like an archive, where people (and I) can refer back to them for years to come. There is nothing worse than researching something in an old thread and the pictures are dead.

I've been using Photobucket for years and have never paid a dime. I backup my pictures on an external drive. The only pictures I put on Photobucket are the ones I post on this sites.

OK, not out of the woods yet. I need to fix my avatar (the little picture for my profile). It says 100 KB max size, but the picture I want to use is 1470 KB. How do I put it on a diet?
Next issue: How do I post videos? The method described above does not work for MPEG files.
Thanks again. I am getting closer!

Ok, I gave CTucker's instructions a try. I don't think I did the resizing the same way, but easier than photobucket. I hope there's a picture on this lol.

I'm by no means a computer wizard but I discovered years ago I could simply upload my photos to this site from "my Pictures" off my computer. All of the pictures I've uploaded over the years are stored here if I want to show them again....which I've done on many occasions. By clicking on the "insert image", all of my previously posted pictures are available for posting again. For example: A 15 year old me on a neighbor's "B' with hood ornaments.
