PhotoBucket charges $399 for third-party hosted images

I can't even login to my photobucket for longer than a minute before it crashes and has issues. The site is such crap I don't even know if I want to bother with trying to switch things over.

Photobucket's advertisers are going to see what is going on and pull out as soon as their contracts expire. Then, without money, photobucket will no longer maintain all the images they have and everything will disappear whether you have paid for their service or not. I have migrated several images over to PostImage.org but I don't know if they are that good at maintaining a library, so the search for extra capacity is on.

Couldn't even download my albums without them asking for money... guess all those images are going to go bye-bye real soon

I wasn't able to access my images until very recently...looks like we can grab them and RUN now:



Can I download my Photos?

Absolutely, at any time. It is an easy four step process:

Step 1. Login to your Photobucket Account

Step 2. Navigate to your library page

Step 3. View a photo and click the download button

Step 4. The picture will be saved to your computer

Just got to be patient. It took me 20 minutes to download 3 albums! :/
