Just received an email from Photobucket stating some features of my account have been disabled. Apparently they changed TOS this month & they no long allow 3rd party hosting, meaning you can't embed your photos onto webpages, forums, blogs, etc using img tags or html. Well what else would you use an image host for, storage? Heck no, I don't store my photos primarily with anyone online.
Luckily Nelson has set up this forum to archive photo in case the image host goes dead so all the photos affected will still show up here. But not many forums do this & not all forums allow you to upload pics to their server to post in threads.
I've used PB for over 14 yrs, later they added advertisements which got annoying but I lived with it. Now they want $399/yr if you want 3rd party hosting, screw that!
So all my photos embeded in posts over all these years on various forums have gone dead. Well you can click on the pic to view the pic but is very annoying in my build threads that have numerous of photos.
What image hosts do you guys use that are good? I'll upload photos here directly but I need to find something for other places. Well it was a good run, all things eventually come to end.
Sorry for the rant & thanks for reading.
