Title: Photobucket down
Post by: Biggles on December 28, 2017, 10:02:01 AM

For anyone still using PB (I've been paying them), they're "down".

They have over a billion of our world-wide users' pix on their servers and it looks like we've broken them.

Seems to be working okay now.

Photobucket changed their pricing/free model, so external links to free members are all now broken. Only paying subscribers can link to their photos.
I've seen broken "upgrade your account" photobucket images all over the internet.

Free account is still available. What has changed is only third party hosting which you have to now pay for.

You can still access your pictures and share them in other ways. Once I finish updating previous posts with linked pictures with new links I'll be closing that account.
