Photobucket changes TOS - breaks images

@Bud
No idea, but it sounds like a good time to ditch photobucket.

 

Wow, that's total Bolshevik man.

 

I halfway wonder though if this is clickbait. Seems like Photobucket might have a business model in mind where forum owners can have their photos hosted on Photobucket via a module or something, so this might be more of a thing that someone buys to utilize on their forums?

I can't see it being a logical move to frustrate every one of your customers and then ransom the content to the forum owners.

 

They actually are apparently going to break image links

What is linking?

What is 3rd party hosting?

 

Time to jump ship. Sucks too because I have a ton of algae scrubber pics up on there, posted on forums I sponsor, product threads etc, algae scrubber basics...

What good is their site if you can't show other people your pics and videos? Fail

I submitted a support question, we'll see what they say. I have an "ad free" account but that just prevents the page from blasting me with ads and crashing my browser whenever I go there. Last time I went there without being logged in, I had trouble logging in because of all the crap popping up and playing, redirecting, etc

I'm pretty sure google photos will always be free.

 

Yup, not as intuitive but:

Tank Pics - Here is a picture of my tank and a few of the inhabitants in it. : )

 

Lucky for us, none of this will affect our site, or pretty much any other Xenforo site with knowledgeable admins. Someone has an addon that works around this link block they have instituted and downloads the images locally as permanent attachments. So there, photoschmucket
