So called photo sharing site. I've just discovered that they've disabled all the free accounts, meaning I have no access at all to any of my images, just grey boxes. Evil or Very Mad

No warning as far as I know, others said they only found out when they went to the site.

271BP - Before Photobucket.

https://postimg.org/
These are probably the best free one which allows Albums if you create an account - and direct links so you don't have to go to a page with *interesting* adverts.

Be aware it's Russian based and might be best to use an email you don't much care about.

Or this one, less polished but seems to be always up.

You could tell that company was shit because of their website and I think they had adverts on their website, just like tinypic but not as bad.

I use Google photo's because they have unlimited storage and it auto uploads from my old phone. I have 1000's of old photos on flikr who give you 1000tb of photo's and videos.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ImageShack

Quote:
Although ImageShack previously had a subscription service, the majority of its revenue was produced from advertising related to its free image hosting.[2] In January 2014, ImageShack announced that it was switching to a subscription based service and would no longer offer free uploads.[3]

Images stored in free accounts were still available until January 31, 2016, and free accounts not converted to paid accounts were deleted after that date. The new website interface does not allow direct free web-based access to the original image resolution, but images can be bulk-downloaded at original resolution using their SkyPath application


Suggests this happened a while ago and there was plenty of notice.

Just don't believe they hype.

You still get bombarded with advertising (animated and popover) even when you have a paid for account. It's just they advertise photobucket crap on it instead of third party stuff.

When I complained they explained to me that this isn't advertising, it's "offers". Rolling Eyes

Photobucket is getting increasingly annoying.

I've just noticed my Amazon Prime account has photo hosting, might try it.

The most annoying thing is how it orders the pictures according to the EXIF date and time rather than the upload time.

So if you upload an old picture, you either need to edit the EXIF data or go looking for it in the depths of your bucket.

I'd stop using them if I didn't have so much content hotlinked all over the place.
