I dunno... I wish they'd have given us some warning as to what they were doing, I don't recall getting any heads up from them though.

 

I'm in the process of swapping over to imgur.

I made the change to Imgur a while back when Photobucket first started having issues.

Photobucket was never the best option but $400 a year to link onto web sites is beyond ridiculous. They have been rather obnoxious in pushing getting a paid account for some time so this is not really a surprise although the tarrif they are charging is.

I saw PB heading this route for a long while now and switched to imgur several years back. Flickr is also an option. Not sure what people are saying about tinypic these days though.

I plan on switching once I have access to my PC again but that could a few months.

I've got almost 25 years in customer service, and I would call off work rather than deal with the flaming :etc_swear: storm that this is going to cause. SOOOO mad right now.

use imgur
Sign up is easy, no annoying flash ads and it's almost never down.

Holy crap, photobucket has gone down the drain.
As if their uptime wasn't bad enough, you also got really annoying flash ads that took forever to load and to put the cherry on top, it shrunk your photos down to some useless blurry size like 800x600 or something.

Google+ is also supposed to be a good option.

Imgur is and has been the best option for a couple of years, photobucket became greedy and did the same errors as imageshack and now both of them should be avoided now

Last time I used it we were still in the 2000s, now I use my DeviantArt sta.sh for everything (does more than just images)

I working on download any pictures I don't already have and uploading everything to Imgur, once thats done I'm deleting all my pictures off of PB and sending them a e-mail to jam my account up their asses. I've been planning moving over for a while but I have allot of pictures on there and their site is already soooooo slow
