JTTHECLOCKMAN Posted July 12, 2017 Report Share Posted July 12, 2017 I guess there is no more linking photos from my photo bucket account to this or any other site unless you pay some rediculous fee. From what was free for so long has now become another money grabber. What a shame. Any of the threads where i had done this in the past are now now gone. 125 CSL and SCROLLSAW703 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sycamore67 Posted July 12, 2017 Report Share Posted July 12, 2017 I do not trust any of the photo hosting sites. And...I do not trust my computer. I back it up about once a month and alternate external hard drives. Phantom Scroller 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmmcrafts Posted July 12, 2017 Report Share Posted July 12, 2017 The cost to run a web site of that size isn't cheap.. I am quite surprised they haven't done this much sooner honestly.. While it kind of stinks to have to pay for everything.. I kind of understand too... I also do not trust photo hosting sites.. and I also back up my computer to an external drive.. and after I had a external drive crash that had thousands of patterns pictures etc on it.. I now also back up to CD/DVD disc and or zip / flash drives.. so I now keep several copies now.. Phantom Scroller 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have no fees and ads and is easy to use. I left Photo Bucket a long time ago. I got so tired of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgman Posted July 12, 2017 Report Share Posted July 12, 2017 I won't even open a photobucket file because of all the adds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sycamore67 Posted July 12, 2017 Report Share Posted July 12, 2017 The question people should ask is whether any photo hosting site is good for long term photo storage. They are all under the same pressures to make money one way or another. They all can change their teams of service any time they want to. I believe it is best to always have a backup. Photos are an interesting thing for archiving or keeping long term. I have photos that are over 100 years old. Back then, people took very few photos. I have many photos that my dad took and are still in good shape. The photos you took on your camera or digital phone yesterday...how will someone see them in 75 years. We have problems just keeping photos from a year ago. Will technology in even 20 years be able to read your current digital photos. Even if the technology is available, how many pictures to be stored. Many people shoot zillions and post them on websites everywhere. Do you keep all your pictures, do you sort them, and how can you find them. How will you pass down pictures to your kids and Grandkids. The entire digital picture storage and archive issues are huge.

125 CSL Posted July 12, 2017 Report Share Posted July 12, 2017 Lot of my car guy friends got hit with that, most it was the only source used. Now unless each wants to pay the photos are more or less being held hostage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are ads on top of ads. If I remember right I just right clicked on the picture I wanted then I went to IMUR and clicked "Add Images" then paste it to where it says to. On IMUR you need to resize your pictures if you want to post them to a forum. I use 640X480. That way they will not be to small or to large. I only have a few pictures on Photo Bucket so I guess I lost them. Oh well!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappile Posted July 12, 2017 Report Share Posted July 12, 2017 I just logged in and it all looked the same to me. I must be a very low resource user, only use around 8 percent of what I have available. Maybe they just haven't got to me yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrappile Posted July 22, 2017 Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 Just got to say, I recently joined Imgur photo hosting site, and it is nice. Especially compared to Photobucket. So fast and easy to put pictures there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
