I've just checked and all my ride report pics etc that are hosted by PB on the free aspect of same..now want me to upgrade by paying and until I do so they won't allow third party hosting, i.e. links to forums like these.
Others should be aware before posting pic heavy How to's or Ride Reports.
PB have shot themselves in both feet I think.
Photobucket...all images on Free Accounts will not now link on forums.

Had the same issue with them and I couldn't even log in to get my pics back.
Installed the mobile app on my phone to get at my pics (thumbs)

Thanks for the info WIBO. Maybe an apt time to let you know we're in the middle of transferring all the data off this forum into a new database and porting to new forum software – the whole site is being upgraded.
Posting pics on the new forum is very user friendly. More details to follow in the next few weeks.

It's gone so horribly wrong for PB,last time i tried to use it i gave up it was so slow and congested,it used to be the pick of the bunch,more and more are deserting it,same as that Tapatalk app,that's also become a nightmare now,ive deleted it off my phone.

Thanks for that,i had thought that Photobucket was getting slower and less functional if you didn,t pay for the premium account so i cleared all the photos and closed my account today.

Re: Photobucket...all images on Free Accounts will not now link on forums.
I had PB back in the day and it was indeed very easy to use . I used it as a back up for ride reports and others can sign in and leave their pictures there after a trip...then each picks images from the collective.Boggs wrote:It's gone so horribly wrong for PB,last time i tried to use it i gave up it was so slow and congested,it used to be the pick of the bunch,more and more are deserting it,same as that Tapatalk app,that's also become a nightmare now,ive deleted it off my phone.
I wonder how many will leave and not see the adverts any more from their sponsors and such like.
Anyhow....there's a lot of people now irritated to put it mildly in all sorts of forums across the globe.
I'll keep my account open in case they change their minds and activate the image links again. I live in hope.
oh well.

Re: Photobucket...all images on Free Accounts will not now link on forums.
My PB images are all just copies from my own collection so not fussed if they get blocked or lost.
I have always found Tapatalk to be utterly useless but I do tend to use my ipad rather than iphone so maybe that's the reason.
TRF and KTM forums will be a pain to use then so it looks like flikr (I thought that was a dating website).
Thanks for the info.
