Away With Photobucket......Try Flickr
« on: September 23, 2008, 06:31:46 PM »
{Photobucket has put graffiti on our site. They now charge to post your photos on third party sites. Try using Flickr.}



Photobucket has upgraded their website - but while doing some technical things, they messed up the strings for adding photos to forums, the IMG is wrong at the beginning of the string. It is all in caps while the end of the string [/img] is in small. So you will need to edit the beginning [IMG] to [img] to get the photos to read when placing them here.

I notified them.

Photobucket has corrected the problem.

My Firefox addon for photobucket seems to be on the fritz. Is anyone else experiencing numerous errors?

I just tried it and it's working fine for me.  I haven't upgraded to FireFox 12. Have you?

I am using 14.0.1  Maybe a fresh install will repair it.

That did not do it. It is still broken. Will contact the addon creator.

Oh, that's too bad. Photobucket is my favorite add on. It saves a lot of work.

Edit:
I'm sorry. After my post I realized the Computer Forum is supposed to be closed on Sabbath. Sometimes I use Photobucket on Sabbath so I wasn't thinking.

Well, I didn't even know there was a PB addon. I just use PB strait up. I keep a link on my toolbar. One click and I'm there.  :D

I have one on mine, too, but it keeps showing an error on login, so I am forced to actually go to their webpage. (What an inconvenience  ;D ) I'm spoiled!

For slow computers, it is a wonder to behold. Right click on a photo, select the Photobucket option and the computer loads Photobucket in a separate tab, logs me in, and puts the photo in my album all in one step. Fantastic!

Meem's, did you ever get Photobucket add-on to work? I finally got around to adding it since changing computers and it doesn't work. From what I have found it is no longer available since Photobucket changed. Please say it isn't so.  :(

(We're on Firefox 20.0.1)

It still does not work.  :( Which reminds me to remove the addon and resume going to their website. I surely miss it!

 :( I was hoping you were going to tell me you found something much better! Oh well, at least we have high speed.  :)

Photobucket has changed it's TOS and no longer permits third party embedding of photos you were hosting on PB-----well, they will if you are willing to pay them $400 a year. There's stories all over the internet about their sudden and unannounced change, including turning off photos and replacing them with a graphic that looks for all the world like a demand for ransom. Since I have seldom used PB in the last several years, I have deleted my accounts there. If you come across posts I have made in the past that now have a place holder where a photo once was, you will know it's because the account where it was has been closed.

Does anyone know anything about Imgur? I've heard that it's a good alternative to photobucket.

Dorine, I don't know anything about imgur, sorry! But I have moved from photobucket to Flickr. Takes a little getting use to but it's worth it.
