I'm really confused now. I have a free account on Photobucket which I use for all of my 'picture-needs' on the MLP Arena. However, I don't see any pop-ups or alerts, and I haven't got any problems viewing my pictures either. In fact, nothing seems to have changed for me. ???
Just checking with you peeps: Are you able to see the pictures on my wishlist (http://mlparena.com/index.php/topic,385408.msg1630863.html#msg1630863) and in my avatar and signature?

I can see your images just fine. I checked some older pics I had that I hadn't moved off Photobucket yet and they were fine, too.. hmmm.
Maybe it only affects new pics and everything that was already hotlinked to PB is fine? If that makes sense? lunar_scythe, did you change your avatar/sig pics lately? Otherwise I'm stumped as to why some are blocked and some aren't :x
I started using imgur a couple of years ago after getting fed up with Photobucket crashing all the time.
Hmmm, I'm wondering if it might be a bandwidth thing, too. Only other place I've seen it apart from lunar_scythe's images, is just now, the MH Arena logo broke for me - it's showing up with the same image now. If that makes sense.
I googled and found some information.
It seems PB is replacing random pictures with the 100% image. So even if for example your signature picture is ok other pics in your account could be affected.
And they are asking $400 to let you use your account and post pictures again.
It's ridiculous... People around the net are asking if it's a hack or something but it seems not.
Are you still allowed to look at the pictures on your account, just not post them anywhere? I'm not sure if I should be quickly downloading all my photos (((I don't have them all on my current computer...))) or if they will remain safe for my viewing only and I'm still allowed to save them to my computer?
I'm wondering if bandwidth is how they're getting people.. if that makes sense. So far the only pics I've seen get taken down and replaced with the "no third-party linking" image, are pics that were posted in places where they'd be getting a lot of hits. If that makes sense?

I'm wondering if they're going by active logins possibly. I mean I don't have numbers for it but it would make sense. See something is going on with a service you use would likely send you to the site. But you know see what's, going try to login, and then suddenly your account is affected as well. That way they're targeting their resources to grab the people who are actively using the service instead of people who say haven't logged in in over a year.
I got an email too. Mine says I have to upgrade to the Plus 50O membership to enable 3rd party hosting. I'm not even sure I can get in Photobucket anymore.
I feel like they should be able to get into legal trouble over this somehow??? I really hope so??? Especially because they're also doing this to people who were already paying them and basically holding people's data for ransom? You can't just change the terms and services of a site like that with no warning? Especially because then users haven't actually agreed to them?
This is so frustrating. I have relied on PhotoBucket for twelve years or more!
What frustrates me even more than this is that the images that are hosted on other sites have been replaced by that banner in entirety, even on PhotoBucket's site. Images I had hosted there that I used on other sites that were on my older computers I now don't have any access to because PhotoBucket 'erased' them. :enraged:
Does everyone think we're made of money nowadays? I always kind of laughed at PhotoBucket trying to get me to upgrade every time I went on the site when over the course of twelve years I had only used like 12% of my allotted storage... but then they pulled this.

I'm the same way, I hardly used any storage and I kept getting these messages to upgrade my computer and what not to use my photobucket account. It's been free all this time why now do they want to charge people. It's like being on amazon and having constant "upgrade to prime" thrown in my face when I'm there. If they start charging me for using photobucket I'm out. I'll be avatar-less and signature-less it's fine.
How do you delete your Photobucket account?

I'm gonna have to switch. Which hosting service has the best phone app? That's what I usually use PB for now, transferring pics from my phone to forum posts without my cable on the go.
Well...can't say I've ever seen a business shoot themselves in the foot any harder than PB just has. What in the world is their team doing?! This is arguably the worst idea I've ever heard of.

I've seen something nearly as bad. Just this year too. Back in Feb it leaked that American Girl got the bright idea to start permanently attaching the underwear to it dolls. At the SAME TIME they released their very first bathroom with a toilet! :argh: Forcing dolls to go potty with their underwear on. :crazy: The AG fans revolted and the company was forced to reverse the idiotic decision.
The only way this isn't as bad as PB is because AG wasn't attaching the underwear and then charging us $400 to get it removed. What PB is doing should be illegal! It's nothing but ransom and blackmail!

The page is barely working for me. It's all broken up except for the adverts. I did get into my album for a bit but nothing was happening when I tried to download the album. Wondering if the site is slow with everyone trying to save their pics. I've got less than 1000 pics in there but some aren't stored anywhere else.I was also wondering if it's because so many people are trying to rescue their stuff from there now...
I used Photobucket for all of my hosting too. I've been trying in vain all morning to get my icon to work. I used imgbox to download it but it just shows up as a broken link.
Same for flickr. I have a huge headache right now from all of this. I really don't know what to do.
With flickr I'm going to "share" and copying the link that's provided afterwards but it does not work.

Right click on it, choose 'Copy Dropbox Link'
Bam, you have a URL. Put it in [] img tags the way you'd normally do. There's a button for it on this forum and most others to make it easier.

I use Flickr a lot, so maybe I can help? Where are you trying to share to? There are several link options provided after you press the 'share icon'. If you're posting to the forum, after clicking on the share icon, click on BBCode on the pop up and use that link. There will be a variety of sizes for you to choose from too.
It took me several tries to download my albums on photobucket. Sometimes it would let me download an album of 500 pictures in less than two minutes... other times I'd wait ten minutes and nothing happened and so I'd just try again and again.

I have given up on PB and trying to set up with flickr.
I can't find how to change the settings. Is this picture showing or is it only visible for me? (pic in spoiler)
I think most of my stuff is downloaded now. I need to go through and grab any animated gifs I might have missed. But that was seriously awful... I had to disable my adblocker to get the downloader to work and my computer started crawling there was so much popping up.
Please excuse my stupid question... I only opened a PB account in order to post photo's on this forum, so stand no chance of losing anything. However, what I would like to know is: is it necessary to use a third party (flickr, dropbox, etc) or can I post the photo's directly from my computer? Which is what I would prefer, actually. And if so, how could that be done?
Now, another thing I am wondering about is what will happen to all the historic posts? Will the photo references no longer work on them? That will be a huge pity, and will make it harder to use them for reference or research. A lot of history is going to be lost if that is the case... :(
YES.
The one I used in sig, therefore the most-accessed, got blocked not just in linking but also in the library interface within the pb account.
Here and there throughout this thread some others have stated that the image is replaced by the now-familiar guage image.
While some have wondered if the minimum-level annual subscription price restores access to such images, I don't think we have a confirmed answer to that question. To restore 3-rd party linking access to them, it requires the $399. per year payment.
What happens when you try to download that specific image? Do you download the gauge image? I'm wondering if the thumbnail is altered but the original image is intact.
because the http://photobucket.com/p500/ page says that the images are safe and downloadable-- you just can't 3rd party host them.

I tried this with the picture in sailorstitch's signature. When I clicked the link, I got the gauge image. However, when I right-clicked the gauge image and chose "view image", I got sailorstitch's original picture! :)

WOW. OK, I just checked....when I click the gauge where my image is supposed to be, I see the library entry showing also the gauge.
Looks like this is my bad... I didn't try downloading it anyway before, believing the resultant image would be the gauge not the image.
I just tried it now and I am pleased to report that I was mistaken, Yaay! The actual image arrived instead of the gauge.
Thanks banditpony for persisting on this in spite of my naysaying.
Everyone, do please make sure to try downloading your images even if they show the gauge because in at least this one example, the actual image was still there even though it was hidden under the gauge mask. Sorry I was so quick to despair on this.
Just now reading up on this. Imageshack did the same thing a couple years ago.Yeah. I lost all of my images on imageshack. I think I had warnings, but the time I looked, they were gone. Lots of weird things that didn't make it past computer upgrades since 1998.
And yes, yes, always keep backups! Keep backups of backups!! Just, in general, on the internet, if you think you'll miss it if it's gone, SAVE IT. I've lost stuff from computer crashes or sites dying (anyone remember xs.to? An old image-hosting site from the mid-2000s) before and I'd give anything to get those back. Back up everything!!

This. This whole thing is just annoying and inconvenient to me. Anything that's on my PB, I have backed up in quadruplicate in various places... Quadruplicate is probably excessive for most, but I'm thorough and paranoid about data loss :lol:
So I wasn't going to download any of my PB stuff but I did have some older things on there which I probably have on another disc somewhere but you know, just in case. So after a lot of refreshing and clicking, they downloaded.
Though in the folder they all look fine and normal, when going through them on preview, some of the images were stretched and distorted to look like they were just a long thin line.
I suggest people check their images are fine before deleting their account. It might just have been something with the format of my images, but they were all JPG images, not gif or any other format, so I wanted to just flag this in case it affects anyone else.
Again, they look fine when you open the zip, extract them and view the thumbnails in the folder, but on preview they were warped. It also might just be an issue with preview or with my PC, because my PC is evil, but just in case...better safe than sorry.

In the past I have had a few images on my computer that appeared warped in the preview and I never understood why... but I was still able to open them in some programs and they were fine. I can't remember if I opened them in a browser or tried a different picture viewer though...
I was talking to one of my coworkers today about the whole PB thing. She doesn't use PB and didn't know anything about this mess. After I explained everything she commented how this sounds very illegal. She was wondering if there was somebody we could contact about this situation. She mentioned the Better Business Bureau, but neither one of us were sure if they dealt with websites.Put your picture in your Dropbox folder.

One silver lining is that this resolves image theft issues for some people :) You can't have it on your site and link it back to the original owner but claim it's yours. :/I don't see how that works. Image theft is more of a problem when people download someone else's image and reupload it to their own server as their own (or put it on ebay as their own). If it's being linked from PB then there's a paper trail. Also, people who are going to steal are going to steal.

Right. PB terminating their free image hosting service has nothing to do with theft.
When a certain pony ID site stole my images, they downloaded them and put them on their own private server.
Unless they mean #1 most hated, that could be true now.

Still getting emails from them telling me that my account will have features disabled or whatever. It's too buggy a site for me to try and delete everything so they are welcome to do it for me at this point. I don't have anything else I need to save.
But I love that in this "we are restricting your account, pay us money" email they tell you they are the world's number one 3rd party hosting site.
I think that's before they started shutting down many of the accounts using it because of this, but anyhow...
So weird how inconsistent this shutting down process is, because I don't know why I've had the emails twice and I haven't even checked if my images are or are not affected :/
I never figured out flikr either. They were not friendly for uploading multiple pictures and easily sharing quickly. Am about to look into Imgur.
Flickr works easy for single images so if you find a good solution for larger volumes please be sure to let us know here, thanks so much!
Joyful discovery! Don't delete your pb accounts...the original images can still be seen by third parties.
This morning it occurred to me that if the ugly gauge image hides a still-existing image in our own accounts, then maybe the same is true for other people's accounts....I tested it, and it's true!
This means you can view the image in anyone's posts here or anywhere else so long as they haven't closed their pb account or deleted their images.
What you do is click on the ugly gauge, taking you to the pb interface, then right-click on the gauge thumbnail, select save image and the downloaded image will be the original picture.
It's clumsy but it works. Get the word out!

I haven't read all 15 pages of this thread yet, but wanted to pop in and drop off this info. I've used photobucket for years, and it's become increasingly crappy, from their mobile site to trying to download images and albums. So this is just the HUGE straw that broke the camel's back. Because I've been a Plus Member, they'll keep my links active until I need to renew, so I have till next May thankfully. But I've got a TON of pictures and albums that I need to download and get off there.....hundreds upon hundreds!
Now the download album link has been very quirky for me. Half the time I get the "Hmmm...something went wrong" message and unless I close everything out and start over in a new window, I can't get it to work. The download itself, when it is working, is super slow. Well, now I keep getting that message no matter what. I've used Explorer, Chrome and Firefox. Nothing will work and I'm wondering if they just flat-out disabled it on purpose.
I managed to get maybe a third of what I need downloaded and have been looking for a work-around. I think I found one that is going to make my life MUCH easier:
https://sharecoding.wordpress.com/photobucket-downloader/
It adds a new button inside Photobucket, if you use the Chrome browser. It's SUPER FAST... like a couple of seconds! The free limited version is fine for me, because I don't think I have any folders with more than a hundred images. But even at $2, if I need to upgrade, it's well worth the money. The only unfortunate thing is that it won't download sub-albums -- you have to do that separately.
Still, I wanted to share with those that are in the same boat as me and are overwhelmed with how to get all my albums to somewhere safe before I have the "It's you, not me" breakup talk with Photobucket.
Book marking as looking for an alternative to Photobucket and Facebook!Same. I really can't get on with Flickr
:yikes:
I don't have the brains or the patience to go thru all these image sites and figure this out. Can someone just tell me the easiest one to use for putting pics on this site so that I can sell the stuff I need to get rid of??
Just a note on imgur, I tried to use it to host my auction images and after a few days, they all started coming up broken. :(

Anyone else getting daily emails from Photobucket trying to sell you account upgrades? The sheer NERVE :enraged:
Okay I have a Flickr account now, set to public... How on earth do I get the images to show up? What URL do I use? I am still so lost...

Is there a way to use Facebook to post images here? I'm pretty sure I read that on this thread but I can't find it now and I've been through the whole 15 pages! I really hate to signing up to new sites that I rarely use and I already have a FB account.Yeah, you have to not use Internet Explorer as your browser because it won't give you an image link to copy. Thanks, Skeen!
