beware - photobucket issues

[DSG2003Mach1]

Photobucket has become ridiculous in their efforts to drive revenue. Their website is borderline unusable due to all the adds unless you pay them. They are also limiting bandwidth to photos posted on websites/forums as well as embedding images on other sites (like this one). From what some are saying if you want to embed images you have to pay a monthly fee.

I have downloaded all my content stored on PB and pretty much expect that if all my photos posted here arent already not working they soon will not appear which royally sucks with all the info Ive posted here.

Im going to move to a new host (probably Flickr) and I will put a link in my sig for anyone looking for images Ive posted but theres no way Im going to go update all the photo links.

another option for people wishing to post pictures here may be to use the Tapatalk app since I believe the direct photoupload/attach feature isnt working here.

seriously though, if you have content stored on photobucket and dont have a local copy I would download all your albums NOW. NOTE THAT VIDEOS AND GIFS MUST BE DOWNLOADED SEPARATELY, THEY WILL NOT BE INCLUDED IN YOUR PHOTO ZIP FILE! Personally I would take pics on my cellphone, upload to PB and delete from my phone so I had no copies.
