I logged in and pretty much got spammed.
Yup! My account is back up and running, but I have moved on and will not be going back.

When Photobucket tried to blackmail me into paying an annual ransom of $300, I downloaded my pictures and walked away, never to turn back. I don´t do business with people who do not honor contracts and have no business ethics whatsoever, regardless of how much or how little they now want to charge for their services.
Happy times!

If you ever fall over in public, pick yourself up and say “sorry it’s been a while since I inhabited a body.” And just walk away.

I'm just a dude with a bad back having a lot of fun with model trains, and finally building a layout!
How ridiculous!
We used to use Photobucket for free. Why pay them anything now?
I switched over to imgbb when this all started with Photobucket and I am quite happy. I have absolutely no intention of returning to those extortionists.

The people voted with their feet and Photobucket took notice.
There was a newbie post in the last week with a PB photo and I commented that I was able to see his photo without the usual 4-5 popup ads. I admit, I thought it was a fluke.

About 3 ? years ago, I signed up for the ad free version, $15 a year, and I've never had a problem.
Well, you still can get an occasional glich, know worse than this site gets, as they work out some bugs ( according to MRR customer service, had to call them this pm).
And, Fire Fox has an add-on, ( or extension, what ever it's called) that brings the pictures back to the older post.
When everybody started having trouble, I was "knocking on wood", waiting for my turn, that never happened, along with the email everybody got about the $399. subscription.

I didn't see any email but randomly decided to log in and I was actually able to get at and download photos. A few weeks ago I could not. I may try to get them while the getting is good.

Hi gang:
I just got an email from Photobucket announcing that they are under new management and, if I understand their offer, they will restore your old photos for $1.99/month or $19.99/yr. (free if you are still a member).

I haven't read the fine print, but the offer does say "....limited time....". We will have to see if the $1.99 thing is forever or just for a few months.
Edit:
I decided to sign up. I just went back to an old thread which had Photobucket hosted photos on it, and the photos were restored!
