Since you now have to pay $40/mo to post from PB, just testing another method of posting.  Test:

When replying from my iPhone (not tapatalk), there is a paper clip icon bottom left of reply box to attach files. Hit it and select photo from your library.   It will resize automatically.

Ahh I see, it looked like it was from a phone to me. Try taking your pics sideways, that way when you post them they wont be posted sideways.

I think it only happens with vertical photos and on steep cliffs.

Exactly, it only happens with vertical pictures. That's why I like to take pictures sideways, so I can post them here with no problem.

When did PB start charging for their services? So much for photo 'sharing' eh.

I thought they only charged for additional storage space when you reached the limit.

I still have Photobucket but seldom use it anymore since the ads are a nightmare on my computer and their encoding styles SUCK!Whenever it would tell me I was getting close to my limit I would go through and delete my old pics I didn't have much use for so I could upload the new stuff.

Now I just pay $23/year for a pbase page and all the headaches are gone. Much easier to keep pictures organized and categorized this way which makes it a far superior photo hosting site IMO and well worth it.

The internet world of chat rooms is heavily damaged by photobuckets changes........they really messed up IMO.

[moog5050]

Yep, all the prior links are disabled unless you pay $39/mo I believe.  

[Adkhunter1590]

You have to pay for Photobucket now?? I have it and just tried it. Didn't say anything about paying for anything. Am I missing something? I'm not sure how you guys posted pics from PB but I just copy the IMG link under the info of the pic you select and copy paste it into the reply box here.


Pics show up on Tapatalk...do they work for everyone else?

What is the purpose of Photobucket as opposed to simply posting out of your own computer hard-drive? I know there must be some obvious benefit or they wouldn't be in business, but it hasn't occurred to me yet.

[nyslowhand]

When you want to share photos or vids with someone else, Photobucket comes in handy. Just the fact that you may not want to share photos/vids with all forum members or the entire world, you can copy the site's link of your uploaded "goodies" to a specific individual's PM or email address..

It's a good idea to store important photos somewhere other than just your home computer. They could be lost forever if something happened to your hard drive.

Take a screen shot of the pic , when you post the screen shot it will be right side up . Or just leave as is when viewers tap on it to enlarge it will now be correct as well .

[Doc]

OK.....Now I get it. But being the site's official cheapskate, I think I'll use my memory sticks for periodic back-up.....lol. But at least I can see what people are using external sites for. It does make sense.

I can see your pics, but I have no idea why it works for you.  Most have been disabled unless you pay the third party hosting fee.

Nice pic of you and your son, moog! No matter how it got there.

That's really weird that it works for me and not everyone. How are you guys trying to post the pics? Maybe it's in the way you try doing it idk but really weird.

Previously, I used either IMG or direct links.  Neither will work now.  Instead of a picture, it posts a statement that you must upgrade to third party hosting.  I have no idea why yours works but its and issue for many PB users.  An effort to generate revenue I guess.

this is what gets posted when copying and pasting the Img or direct link:

Maybe it only applies to people that have posted many PB links in the past.  I tried deleting most of my PB library and it still does the same thing.

They are claiming advertising no longer can sustain the cost of hosting the millions and millions of free accounts and in order to stay afloat they have to move to a pay for play.

They have got me by the short hairs as I have well over 4000 photo on PB and most are posted on my Airedale message board, I have the bare bones plan that just eliminates ads  They are going to let me slide for now but as of December 2018 I will have to ante up.

Man that is messed up. I don't use PB very often so maybe your right and it's based off how many things you've shared. When I share pics on here I usually just use the Tapatalk app and it gets the pics from my photo library on my phone.

This site allows you to post photos directly from your PC hard-drive, most don't.

Not sure if PB is worth $40/year to me. Are there any other reliable photo-sharing sites out there?

Try $400/yr or $39/mo.
