    Yet again, Photobucket has done their part to screw up every single thread on here. The photos show up now, but they all have a ridiculous watermark on them, as if Photobucket owns the actual rights to the photos... :rolleyes: That said, I hope guys start inserting photos as attachments, rather than sharing them via Photobucket, so we can actually enjoy seeing and reading all of the photos you have to share.

    On behalf of everyone here...

    STOP USING PHOTOBUCKET!

    I thought I was the ONLY one to still use Photobucket. I have had a paid account with them for years and they have always ****ed.

    I dumped PB right after their first attempt to screw their subscribers. I took back all my photos and closed my accounts.

    I’m guessing the fact that it’s on a paid account is why, the other posts I’ve seen don’t link the photos to photobucket, they expand like an attached file photo, I’m presuming they’re the same posts that didn’t pop up for a while for whatever reason. Any older posts on here are obliterated with photobucket watermarks, tons of great photos and magazine features completely ruined.

    Try Flickr, it's free at this point depending on your storage needs

    Why not load them to your albums here on the HAMB and avoid the h***les? Then you can add the pics to your messages using the "media gallery embed" ****on. Seems like the easiest answer to me anyway, YMMV.

    My apologizes to the fellow member for using his car to illustrate thumbing my nose at Photobucket. HRP

  12. Stick around for the next Photobucket disaster. I bet it will be them reducing the resolution of all of the photos they have control of but that is just a guess. I can't understand why anyone would not expect bad things to happen with the other photo storage sites. I think the only safe way to go is to post directly to HAMB.

    yeah, there is no reason to use a photo hosting service anymore. just upload your photos straight to the Hamb

    I'm glad the photos are back. The bug is dumb, but not seeing the photos at all ****s worst.

    Most of the photo's were posted long before Photobucket hijacked all the accounts, I had posted hundreds of photo's from the site. HRP
     
  17. I've kept my Photobucket account but I no longer "host" from there. I send over a photo that I want to resize or color correct, then take it back to my own computer. It's basic stuff I do because I'm too dumb for Photoshop. :p
