Photobucket
« on: February 04, 2018, 11:25:59 PM »
I don't if anyone here knows about Photobucket or not but so far, I just recently learned that whenever I tried linking my artwork to this forum, the pic would keep showing "Please update your account to enable 3rd Party hosting".
From what I learned from others, the site has changed and in order to get your pics working again, you have to pay a ridiculous amount of money.  -_-

Since I can't afford to pay for it(unless I'm filthy rich like Paris Hilton), how am I going to show my artwork here? Please tell me! D: Is there other image sites like Photobucket? Or something?

Indeed there is! Imgur is a really useful alternative to Photobucket and you can use that without having to pay, although I'd recommend uploading your images to private albums on there just to be safe; the community is... well, it's too early in the morning for me to put it in polite terms. ;)

There are lots of free image hosting sites :) Personally, I use Flickr because it's easy to get things off my phone, onto the app, then use the website to post it. For Flickr, just create an account, drag in a photo from your computer, make it public, click share, and use the BBCode option :) You can also download the app to import photos from your phone or other devices. There are other sites too like Imgur and even an album on Facebook. Lots of options :) And there is a whole massive thread in Sigs and Site Support about Photobucket if you want to know more :)

Yeah, if you have a Yahoo account, you already HAVE a Flickr account.  Take advantage of the free storage... :)

I currently use Imgur to host my photos, although I can't say I enjoy it very much since quite a few times I've gotten NSFW comments on my pony photos.

Yes :( it changed last June/July meaning you have to pay $400 or so to allow you to use them as a third party host.

I found I could use my oneDrive for third party hosting :)

Someone  mentioned Facebook but I DO NOT recommend it as the URLs get shifted every few months, so it's very unreliable if you want a post to last very long.

I use a tumblr sideblog. Even if the sideblog is deleted, it looks like the image stays up.
Another option is Discord does tend to allow for linking if you upload a photo...although I'm not sure if there is a time limit on how long the picture url is valid.

By default, I think everything you post on imgur is public... you want to make sure to make every album private to avoid unwanted comments. I'm always so paranoid about that kind of thing.

I do have a Yahoo account so I guess Flickr will have to do. :3
