Photobucket Alert

Weird!
I cannot link photos.

I was able to log in again and see any pics I wanted. Going to try posting to see if it works.



That seems to have worked. My account says I have used 40% of my space, which is around 500 shots. Wonder why I can get in and others can't? Only business I've ever done with them was ordering a canvas print from them last Christmas. That can't be enough to give me any kind of "membership".

Did your Administration terminate yet another international agreement?

Frankly, you know it's possible!

Obviously they've walked back their earlier message, since I only have a free account and yet I can now do it again. But that meter shows you have used up 100% of your 3rd party hosting capacity, whatever that is. How many images do you post at TB? Lots more traffic there. And do you share directly from Photobucket to FB? If so, that could account for some of it too.

My account settings show I'm only using 5% of my free hosting capacity but it says nothing about how much 3rd party hosting I've used up. So I'll be using Imgur for future hosting to be on the safe side.

Mine says 3% of storage used. Everything seems to work fine. Maybe they just think Minnesota guys are cool...................
Where it says, "We have updated our terms of service; "LEARN MORE"", I have never clicked the LEARN MORE button. I was wondering if by clicking that, they would consider you officially notified & terminate your third party service. I use to receive emails from them occasionally, but not for a long time...............

Sounds to me like they and their technology are floundering around.

I've seen some posts on other forums displaying the same meter that Mark's photos show. There doesn't seem to be a way to know when you're near the limit since it depends on how many views you get. You could have plenty of storage capacity and still hit your 3rd party limit.

Sigh - I would imagine that none of my pics generates the same stampede of interest some member reflections here do!

I think that comment is a bit below the belt to be quite frank... er... George...

I figured out how to download albums from the Photobucket account. 

Click an album title and on the lower right side of that page (once you get the ads cleared off) is a link to Download Album.

THEN they put you through one of those agonizing "I'm not a robot" exercises where you click on pictures for a couple of minutes. Makes me nuts.

Finally, you get to the "Please Download" link, where it will compress the files and download them as a zip file.  More waiting for this step.

Note: if a folder has sub-folders, those are not downloaded as part of the mother folder. You have to click on each of the sub-folder titles and download them separately.

It all moves slower than molasses in a deep freeze, and I have to log out and back in pretty frequently when it stops responding.

I'm headed to Imgur once I figure out its interface.

Just thought I'd test drive imgur..................

I tried Image Link, trying BBCode.................



Looks like BBCode is the ticket.

I don't know, look at the two instruments you posted - they look as if they have gotten quite edgy and weird

That's the problem with 20/20 vision....

For those of you bothered by the fact how my leather jacket obstructs the view:

I am bothered by the fact that you are obstructing the view of a Hiwatt...
