All the photos are there, they are just not allowing 3rd party linking... talk about a headache to sort through.

I guess I'm SOL. I had 1700 images linked to this forum. I just downloaded all my images in case the company goes bankrupt or something and I don't have access to them.
11 years of linked images...that's too much to go through so much for all 32 pages of my MR thread.
I would also be cautious about going to flickr, since they're probably the next company that will charge to host images 3rd party.Last edited by Losiracer2; 07-09-2017, 02:05 AM.

Right now cpmike is working on a solution. We'll see where he gets with it. If his idea doesn't pan out, Raf99 and I have been discussing another potential (but more labor intensive) solution. We're not sunk... but this does indeed suck.
I agree that the other free image hosts surely aren't far behind. Social media is killing image hosts the way it's killing forums. They're killing themselves in an effort to survive.

Thank you, CPMike, for working out a hosting/linking solution to these image "hosting" sites.
Peeps, make sure you download your pictures off of Photobucket if you don't have a copy on your hard drive!*** Think of others before thinking of yourself. ***

There is an option on the right hand side of your photobucket page to download your albums. They compress the album into a .zip file for you and email you a download link. I was able to get one of my albums downloaded but kept getting errors when trying to get others.
EDIT: Just checked my build thread on ih8mud.com and the photos are still linking to my photobucket. All the photos in this thread are hosted on photobucket.

As of right now, Flickr is the best option if you have thousands of photos (like me) for $50 a year, but it could go up in the future.

Honestly that is why I'm just working on bringing up a web server at home to just host the files myself, to the internet. I know this ins't a workable solution for most people, but at this point I'm over the image hosting sites and anymore bullshit they might pull. Or things like your account randomly breaking on Photobucket and their support not caring enough to fix your account for you. I can fix whatever breaks on my own web server without wanting to pull out my hair over other peoples incompetence.

I suppose I can transfer my important stuff over the flickr. May take some time, but I definitely don't want my main relay DIY pics and others taken down from this site.
