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!
