Default I hate Photobucket!

I hate bloody photobucket, why do we keep using it when others can't see it without paying their membership fee.

Hence my move to Flickr in the meantime at least.
Is so much easier to use at least.
And if you need to upgrade ... it's not an extortion like PB is.

Photobucket has been manure for years now. Slow, full of pop up ads, generally unpleasant. Can't entirely blame them for this latest move however, I believe individual users were becoming less of a factor for them given the rise of intagram and facebook and they're now targeting businesses, like eBay sellers etc which have used their service heavily. Or so I have read.

While limited in storage space, for posting photos here on AFF... The fastest (loading time) and totally backed up secure way would be to utilise your member gallery space.

Use Google Chrome as your internet browser and download the Photobucket add-on and you will still be able to see photos.

Is Flickr a good alternative?
When is upgrading necessary?

Firefox is supposed to have a similar plugin. I just haven't tried it yet.

I reckon this is the best idea. What sucks is because I am not a 3rd party host, I cant view the photos either, which kinda makes the entire post useless.

Hi Maka, if you have definitely downloaded the right photobucket add-on for Google Chrome, go to the add-on manager in your browser and make sure it's turned on. Then maybe restart pc to complete process.
