I'd love to know what you're doing right. All of my posts show broken links because of this...

Cut and pasted from their site: "Each individual Member gets one free account that provides 2 GB of free storage or space available for your original photo files, or videos under 10min. The free account does not allow any image linking or 3rd party image hosting. If you are interested in image linking and/or 3rd party image hosting, you will need to subscribe to one of our Plus Accounts described below. "

"o Plus 50 Plan: 52 GB of Storage for $59.99 / Year. The Plus 50 Plan does not allow any image linking or 3rd party image hosting.

o Plus 100 Plan: 102 GB of Storage for $99.99 / Year. The Plus 100 Plan allows for unlimited image linking but does not allow 3rd party image hosting."

I'm not paying $100/year, sorry old posts. Hello imgur!

I can't help you Russel, but my PB account is still good here too.
I've been using it for about 6 years now, have used approx. 2.5 gig, and it tells me my storage is 64% full.
I'm able to link all my photos and vids.
I've had good luck contacting them in the past. Maybe you could salvage your broken links by contacting their support ... ?

I have 7 gigs of free space due to being right place right time with photobucket several yrs ago however in the last 2 years PB won't upload images, video files over 2 minutes long take up to 4 hrs to upload and if I tried to pst on some forums or Facebook pages I would occasionally be denied posting privileges including both on Canreef and Canreef FB

So last year I switched to Flickr aside from a picky user interface I've had zero issues posting

I've been using either my Windows Live or Google+ accounts. Both offer a generous amount of free bandwidth for files/photos and they are unlikely to go away any time soon. Another forum I'm on is more difficult to share photos on with G+ so I use Windows Live (One Drive) which has an <embed> option. Works very well and allows you to resize the image when generating the link.

Photobucket changed 3rd party viewables now none of my photo show up

Looks like my images are about to go away too.
Got the e-mail from PB today. I'd be willing to pay $20/yr but $400? Go pee up a rope. I see them losing enough clientele to then lose their advertisers.
VERY smart business move :rolleyes:

I think TinyPic is a branch of photobucket and it seems to be working fine. Had to give up photobucket as the ads would crash the computer and phone.

Ok, I shall repeat.... why restrict yourself to photo specific cloud storage when there are much better, unlikely to disappear or change drastically options from major players like Microsoft, Google, Amazon.....?? As mentioned most of these come with more free storage than the photo cloud rip off artists and you have the option to store & back up many other file types other than photos. They also allow you to access files pretty much anywhere you have an internet or smart phone connection.

Here's a link to a review of the major 'players'. A good chart showing options for free storage & what it will cost if you need more.

As mentioned in my previous post, I have Google Drive & Windows One Drive. More storage then I'll ever use for free. And again, I've found the Microsoft One Drive <embed> feature the most flexible & best method to link photos on forums etc., once you figure it out....
