Might be a stupid question, but I just have to know.
Now that we can't see photos posted with photobucket, it makes some post useless.
Is there a way to make the pictures show?????
I'm not-to -good with this computer thing.

If I understand correctly, the only way way to see them would be for each photograph owner to either pay Photobucket $400 per year to get their photos to show up, or get their photos off Photobucket and host them elsewhere.

Photobucket stinks. I removed my photos and closed my account.

It would take the original poster editing their post with the pictures hosted elsewhere to fix it, or pay the $400 Photobucket wants for third party hosting.

the deadline on their ultimatum is Dec 31 2018.
I would think that if their gambit fails, which is likely, then they may change course.

I did and it has worked for me. I am seeing all of the photos that have not been deleted from photobucket.

Yes thank you. I had no idea that was possible. Maybe I shouldn't have deleted my account.

It kind of felt good though, telling them what they can do with their $400 fee.

now would be a great time for each user of photobucket do their own fix (move your pics to a different site) and cancel photobucket account

Thank you

It'll be a cold day in hell before I pay photobucket to utilize my own intellectual property. Like Jon I believe their gambit will succeed like enron and kodak.

I intend to clean out my account over there before the week is out.
