Effective Immediately - Do Not Use Photobucket
June 30, 2017
Until further notice do not use Photobucket. Photobucket has decided to impose a fee for third party hosting, the very service that they promoted. They have, without notice, eliminated the ability to view photos from this and any other forum, blog etc unless you pay an annual fee of $399.99. This is not a ransom....It amounts to Extortion. We no longer recommend Photobucket under any circumstances.
Please consider using other hosts including "imgur" which are still currently free services. We will continue to explore alternative methods for photo usage on this forum.
It is highly recommended that, if you are able, to download your photos/albums from Photobucket to your own computer.

Shocking - I'm not sure what logic they were using/not using when they set this price: surely they will lose most of their customer base?

Open an album - on the centre right of your screen should be a group of Actions where you will see Download Album. It creates a zip file for you to download...Ian Mc wrote:How do you do that?

Thanks.
Is there a way to transfer pics within Pb from a general page to specific albums?

Re: Effective Immediately - Do Not Use Photobucket
I download every single picture ( 1000 + ) in less than an hour. all copied back to my laptop now by clicking on a folder, opening the picture, then on the right hand side click download. OK i had to do this lots and lots of times but it was pretty easy.
I did this very quickly for each folder and now have every single picture i ever uploaded to photobucket and can now send them all to Flickr or anywhere else i please. Whilst still leaving a copy of them on Photobucket for when they realise they have been arses.

Re: Effective Immediately - Do Not Use Photobucket
I doubt photobucket will be around much longer at this rate. U suck photobucket. Uve sucked for years now. Bloody adverts. Crashing my phone when I'm trying to upload or download.
I miss all the great things that may never be.

Sorry, I tried editing your post to insert IMG tags, but all I got was the little unavailable image thing (white x on black square and "image" inside dotted lines.)kiter65 wrote:Help...anyone know how to post pics using imgur on iPad only seem to be able to post link

Re: Effective Immediately - Do Not Use Photobucket
Now I cannot even download the albums. I cannot tell if it is the proliferation of ads or they lead you to the promised land only to block you.
