Photobucket changed their t&c's

[devon deer stalker]

Anyone else had an email overnight from Photobucket?
The t&c's changed on the 28th June.
In one fell swoop ALL my photo's/video's have gone from websites/forums.
So i suspect so have yours.
It is easily rectified, just pay a fee of $400/year!
I won't be doing that, so what is an alternative that can be used that won't cost us anything?
Cheers
Richard

Are you sure it's not a scam?

Click on the email address it's come from to check.

Nothing changed on my freebie account as of just now.

That was my immediate thought, but it isn't, i checked and all my photo's/vids have been removed off here and another forum i post on, it states i cannot share to 3rd part sites, a bit of notice from them would have been appreciated.
On their website it states they have changed things
Cheers

I have found Photobucket to be poor recently. I have struggled to upload photos. I am yet to identify an alternative.

I got an email this morning too but presumed it was a scam. Just checked a post elsewhere and the pictures have indeed disappeared...

Imgur might be an alternative..john

Just got into my account, definitely misbehaving!
I wonder if they`ve been attacked by this cyber thingy?

Mine still seem to be appearing, or at least I can still see them.

Mind you, I've been a Photobucket Plus user for some years so for an annual fee of $29.99 I've been accessing 200Gb of storage.

These days I tend to use Flickr more than Photobucket.

mine was acting funny a week or so ago - I couldn't link any pics but is fine now... no request for charges or missing photo's though.

That's exactly what I did a good while ago!

 

[Monarch Country Products]

All my images have gone now in SD forum classifieds, however they are still in photobucket library.

Was finding it increasingly hard work to upload images to photobucket anyway, so time for the two finger salute and move to imgur.

Dont be miserable gits boys,pay the man,its bugger all in reality.

As I have been a payer for some years I still keep my $2.99 a month account until End of Dec 2018. I will then go on the $5.99 acc.

Its cheap as and there are no ads no frig ups,no complaints.

Get your calculator out and see what $60 a years works out to daily!

Perhaps you should go back and re read the new terms.
It is going to cost you $400 us per year if you want to link your pictures to forums.

I did go back and read the fine print,yep what a bunch of cee-unts,my mistake!

Well at the moment i`m paying $2.99 a month and that will last till end of 2018 thank phuck ha ha!
Its a shame as I for one have posted hundreds of pics on the SD,that will change.

Imgur? I wasn't really happy with it when I used it some time ago but it will change too I bet in the future with the migration from PB.

 

[Monarch Country Products]

Just moved a load of images to Imgur and replaced some of my images in the forum classifieds - dead easy and far quicker than PBucket.

Thanks s**tbucket for giving me a reason to change!
