Photobucket???

Can't use the free version to post pics on other sites anymore without $$$ upgrade???

That sucks

And if I remember from the warning email I received from Photobucket, the upgrade 'only' is $399/year.

What other sites you guys use?

Not a computer guy/nerd, but it seems silly you can't post stuff right from your phone or tablet like you can here!

I never got a warning e-mail. I guess opting out of all communication got me on this one since I had no idea.

I think they are shooting themselves in the foot though as I will be dropping everything from their site if that is the case.

But, my old images still seem to show up. Maybe it depends on how you link the images?

SVonhof I think some were grandfathered in. 😁

Given the social media platforms to post/house pics these days (Instagram and FB, etc) these independent pic-hosting sites are pretty much floundering. So I can understand why they charge an additional fee these days, but think their demise is pretty much imminent.

Yep. Figured that out last month when all my posted photos in the Shottalk forum vanished from every post. I use postimages.org now.

I'm trying that now. Does it take you forever to upload pics to the site? It's takes a long time here.

Not mine. Sloooooow, Trying to upload multiple (9) pics and it's been 15 minutes and still not close to done. I don't get it.

Ugh. I've been doing it one pic at a time. I log into the postimage app and upload from there (pull). With photobucket, I used to upload to my library FROM my PC or phone (push).

That's going better. Post image app? I'm on my PC.

App = website. Sorry.

Landon, it could also be browser related. If I try Photobucket on Chrome, it takes forever because it is having issues loading all the ads. If I use Firefox, it's much faster.

Scott, I use FF. Photobucket has gotten sloth slow as well.

Landon, I just tried Postimages.org and it was really fast! I had the images resized so they were not full res, but it was really fast regardless. Here is one:
