The Photobucket issue

I'm done with photocrap.

I dont know how anyone could have used that site in the last year with all the ads and crap that keep trying to load. Ublock origin goes nuts there.

The ads was really getting bad the last few years.

No reason to hold onto PB. I still have about 400-500 photos sitting there but it has been at least 3 maybe 4 years since I used it. They decreased my storage space, asked me to pay if I needed more, and the ads became unbearable. Use Flickr or google.

PB is also not secure. I did a search on my PB username, and found my pics on a (foreign) stock photo site. Apparently I was attributed, or I would have never found out. Since then, I put a copyright on all of my pics.

Not a bad idea to put a watermark IN your pictures also. That is, in the metadata.
Non-visible, but can show that someone doesn't own your pic.

My Pentax allowed me to write that info into the exif data. Ain't technology great.

Use the chrome extension "photobucket embed fix" and you can view the pictures. You have to clear your cache first though.

I just took all my photos down from PB, uploaded them to Flickr, and deleted my PB account. Screw that aids ridden craphole of a site. All of my photos that I uploaded here that mattered have been moved over to Flickr without issue.

I'm looking to make some modifications in the coming weeks, specifically upgrading my brake lines to SS. Pictures would really help.

Has anyone heard? Lots of information is going to be lost if the board doesn't pay.

Photobucket finaly got me.What the did last year was unreal.Time for me to pay $399. I will not pay.
What did you move too for 3rd party hosting.
