[Del the cat]

The limb twist thread seems to have lost it's pictures...
Maybe it's me, but I'd looked at it a few days ago and it was ok.

That looks like he reached his limit on photobucket storage.  They did that to me also.  I switched to imgur.

Unfortunately with Photobucket and possibly other photo hosting sites if the account is dropped or a pic is deleted they are deleted everywhere they were posted.

Photobucket has locked me out of third party picture sharing, they want $400 yearly to unlock my account.

I checked my past threads like my flintlock build along, the pictures are gone, what a shame.

[Marc St Louis]

Yes it looks like I have been struck with the third party hosting blues, which means all the pics on my threads are gone as well.  I guess I will be saying goodbye to photobucket

[osage outlaw]

They blocked all of the 3rd party hosting links until you pay to unlock them.  It looks like every picture posted with photobucket has been removed.

I was familiar to photobucket and just signed up to imgur but can't figure how to take a picture off imgur and post it here.  When I copy the info I get a url instead of a picture in my post.

[Pat B]

Is this Photobucket thing some kind of ransomware? Boy, it sure feels like it.  I guess I'll loose all the pics I've posted on PB because they won't get $400 from me.

I have been using flickr, and it took me a while to figure out how to edit the image url I got from flickr to have it display correctly here.

That 400.00 fee is ridiculous.I ran out of storage space to photobucket some time ago.They asked for 30.00 to enlarge the space.I finally did.It enlarged it quite a bit.I'm still going on that.I think.I'll check once.Mine are still up.Eventually I suppose the will delete my pics too the way it sounds.

Is it posting from a phone that is the problem? I'm on a PC and post directly to PA no problem.

[osage outlaw]

It's when you use the website photobucket  to upload the pictures and then copy the link to PA. 

[DC]

I'm afraid I don't understand. Posting directly to PA is very straight forward. Why use a third complication. I'm not trying to be argumentative, I just don't understand

[Pat B]

DC, it is Photobucket that's the problem. IMO. I use a PC. I don't own a smartphone.
 Are the other photo hosting sites gonna do this also somewhere down the line?
 I always pushed Photobucket because PA didn't have the capacity to hold all the pics posted on there. Hopefully we can get another option but all of my pics are lost to me and any I put on P A and elsewhere. Photobucket all of a sudden brought this about without warning. I've been on that site for years. They were a pain every once in a while but now they are holding everyone hostage. I think I was at about 60% of my capacity so I still had plenty of room available to me.
