I am not sure how many of you folks still use Photobucket for, well, anything, but apparently there are a lot of people over in the UK that still use Photobucket for for Amazon and Ebay product photos. It seems as if Photobucket changed its long-established terms of service fairly quickly, and many users did not have time to react. Now people are blocked from access to their own images unless they upgrade their account. Ouch. Here is a picture of Photobucket failing uploaded to Imgur. For what it is worth, the HardForum has its own image hosting now for a good year or so, just drag and drop into the editor. Seems a lot of you are not aware of that. Enjoy.



Denver-based Photobucket is now seeking a $399 (£309) annual fee from those who wish to continue using it for “third-party hosting” and is facing a social media backlash as a consequence.
