Hi, anyone else had their photobucket account frozen saying you've got to pay $400 to upgrade to P500 or summat.

Just checked a previous post on here and my image has been replaced by an ad saying upgrade to bigger bandwidth

I'm pissed off with photobucket, even when its working it's painfully slow, I can piss faster ( which at my age is a bold statement)

PB also wants to charge for removing adverts from its site....PAH..

Flickr might be better

Its almost impossible to use from a windows desktop pc/laptop but it works well with the app on my I-phone.

just tried pb working fine
it's all the adds which f==k it up

I've pretty much given up with PhotoBucket as it has become impossibly slow over the last year or so. I thought it was just down to my ancient computer, but it seems not from what you say.

It simply doesnt work on my ipad or phone. Thats the main reason I rarely post pictures on here. Whereas Facebook .......

After some digging, it appears if you have a free account you're limited to 10Gb bandwidth a month, and if it exceeds that, the account is frozen and you either have to pay to get it unlocked ($400) gets you unlimited bandwith, or wait unit your month ends and it should then reset and everyone can see your pics again. Basically, if anyone 'views' your image on a third party site (as in this forum) it uses up whatever the image size is, say 5Mb for a pic, mine are usaully around 2Mb. I don't really understand how that works, as presumably any linked images must be constantly live on the forums, whether someone looks at them or not.

I can't find anywhere on photobucket where you can monitor your bandwidth usage. Any IT nerds on here who could shed some light on this? :wink:

The thing is my account is private and I haven't posted anything anywhere for ages, and my account starts at the 11th of each month (you have to dig down to find when you opened your account), so somehow in the last couple of weeks millions of views have happened to the few pics I've got scattered around forums, which sounds bollocks to me.

Sorry all my historic images have disappeared from this forum, maybe they'll come back on the 11th July

Don't know why you all fanny about with photobucket just add then from you PC as long as the size is OK its a peice of piss. Not as easy as posting on Facebook admittedly but still easy
