I'm just started using imgur also.
Question; can you copy/paste the bbcode from the iPhone app? I can't seem to find it. Works ok from my PC.

Costs me $1:50 a month for tapatalk, which includes third party linking.
Not online storage as such, but a really easy way of putting pics on forum posts. |

I don't think anyone has an issue with PB wanting to cover costs and make a profit, that's the end game for any business.
To go from free hosting with millions of subscribers, all following their terms and conditions, to cutting all links and demanding a huge annual fee to reinstate them with virtually no notice is corporate theft. Basically holding everyone to ransom, pay up or else. I'm surprised there isn't talk of legal action, particularly in the US of A.

G'day .......SEE YA PHOTOBUCKET.. I just joined Flickr . Took about 2 minutes and away you go.. As the meerkat says "Simples"..
Flickr is easy and a bloody sight quicker and more straight forward than Photobucket even for a dufus like me. Photobucket can stick their 50 100 500 plan where the sun don't shine . Here's my first Flickr photo ![]() |

G'day all ...To use Flickr.. Bring up the website and click on Sign Up..
Fill out the relevant info , and create a password , click on next when done and they send you within seconds a five digit code via email. Enter code and click next and within a few seconds you get a "congratulations ' message and you're done. Go to Upload and files with photos open up.. Load desired photos into your new Flickr library . All you need to do is open library and go to Share photos icon . The URL comes up , click Control /C and then open up destination and click Control/V and it loads the photo in destination. Bloody quick..No more Photobucket for me.. Cheers Rod.. |

Besides all that , I was amazed how much easier Flickr actually is to join and use and I'm a total goose on a computer.. Highly likely Flickr and other similar outlets will need to find a way of counteracting Facebook but I hope when they do they find a more equitable way of doing it. Cheers Rod..

Same goes for Imgur and the others.... It's a gamble.

At least the Flickr Pro account is only $50USD/year if you wish to upgrade.
Much easier to swallow than PB's extortion rates.

Since there has been such a massive backlash to the US$400 plan and most certainly very few taking it up... Maybe we could do a "group buy" by writing to them and saying something along the following lines..
Dear Photobucket Support, Plan upgrade Proposal from the members of Australian Ford Forums. Many of our members here use Photobucket to host their images for inclusion in our long running forum for Ford fans. None of our members need 510GB as we only require space to host small web sized images and require 20GB at most. However we do require 3rd party hosting to imbed our images in our forum. Consequently none of our members are willing to pay the US$400 which equates to AUD$520 at today's exchange rate. However, if you are interested, we have many members who currently have free accounts with you who would be prepared to pay US$50 a year for just 20GB of storage space each with unlimited 3rd party hosting. If you are in agreeance to our "group buy" proposal, we will then provide you with a list of those members and their current Photobucket account names. We could start with a group buy of 50 accounts or so to start. You can then email each of them with the group buy offer, and a method by which payment can individually be made. We have over 100,000 members, and we are sure if this initial group buy is accepted, many members will take up the offer. Yours sincerely Australian Ford Forums "group buy" Co-ordinator Last edited by GO FURTHER; 13-07-2017 at 07:18 PM. |

as I said above even if they came to me now offering $5 id say no and am happy leaving it dead as the way they went about it to start with hijacking every thing demanding money for reinstatement , rather than coming saying we will be needing to make changes to our policies in the near future

I've signed up with imgur.
Is there anyway to do an auto re-size when uploading from your iPhone?

Have you tried accessing the full site through the browser on your iPhone? Does iPhone allow that, I would have thought so. The mobile versions of most sites are pretty rubbish.

I've finally been bitten by PB. From what I've read here imgur, flickr looks like the best option or Google pics.
Unlike many other people though, the last thing I want is linked and synchronised photo storage with all my other stuff. Eg, Google+ with Google photos with Gmail with Microsoft outlook... Etc etc. I like having disconnected accounts etc. So I guess imgur is my best bet then...

I was using Photobucket as that is what I was told I need to use on this forum, I am part of other forums and I can upload photos straight from my computer to any posts without any need for a hosting web site.
Why can't this forum be the same??

Give Russ and the admin a little time to sort this out. As with everyone who is affected by photobucket's decision, I assume it has caught Russ and the admin team out by surprise as well. |

You can upload straight to this forum and if you're doing it on other forums you should know how, it's easy enough.

At least Flickr is reasonable if you wish to pay for a Pro account anyway.
