Photobucket costs $399.99 to link your images - not free now

OK, so now the bucket's got a hole in it, what's the next best or better site?

Imgur definitely . . . . it's what I've been using this afternoon as Postimage seems to have become super faffy for adding pictures on the forum. It's fast, easy to use and free!

Open an account, upload your picture(s), hover over the right hand corner of the image and a drop down menu appears, where there's the option of getting ' share ' links.

Yes indeed!
Old ladies can get a bit quirky...Now why does Mandy come to mind?

Quirky . . . . . I'll happily take Jim!

Especially if it means I can carry my bed around with me.

Teehee!

Though Photobucket is still working for me & many years ago I loved it. I now hate it due to all the pop ups (that some how or other get past my pop up blocker) & so many adverts that cause such sow loading

[djs]

Quite frankly, they were already well down the road to oblivion (for me) when they started spamming me incessantly for no other reason than being a bunch of greedy so and so's.

Maybe it'll collapse and the public will turn on them. That'd be good.

As someone on Twitter said

Congrats on successfully committing corporate suicide. Wouldn't it have been less messy to simply shut down altogether?

Bye, bye methinks. Ransoming your customers takes a large biscuit. Larger than a Farley's Rusk, which I feel needs to be thrown out the pram.

As indeed are the Smiley ' headers ' on the main Mixology and Photo Album Boards . . . . apologies they will have to stay until Chrissie is next online and feels up to sorting this particular nuisance out, as snow and myself don't have the necessary permissions to remove/adjust them.

Which is probably just as well in my case!

interesting.
i had a paid account for years as i had thousands of images for various forums i used to run but a couple of years ago i deleted at least 5000 images so changed to a free account.

this is what mine is showing and i can still link to them.
and below is a linked picture.
