So PB is no longer watermarking all the pictures they're hosting? Because that would be fantastic news. It really irks me when I'm trying to do a picture search, and I find the perfect one, and there's a huge "PHOTOBUCKET" banner slathered all over it

I'm glad I stuck with Photobucket through the far less then stellar period

It was pretty bad for several months,...real bad
but I'm a patient person and like to give chances,......it payed of, Photobucket upgrade the site, it works great and I still have all my pictures from well over a dozen years ago in one site,

Not jumping ship at the first signs of trouble at times pays of

LOL....I dumped PhotoBucket when they held my pics hostage unless I paid for what was previously free! LOL....kinda raised a lack of trust on such a shady tactic without notice so I could at least back up my pics before the change!

I just visited the PhotoBucket site and found that they are offering "Beginner" for about $72 per year WITHOUT HOSTING. If image hosting is needed/wanted then the cost is about $96 per year............

Since the "PhotoBucket" fiasco a couple years ago I started saving my images to CDs as a backup if needed and started using the free imgur and Snapagogo hosting sites ever since. LOL......even the attached pic resides on imgur!

Yep, same here! Very annoying but it was (IS?) a part of holding pics hostage to PhotoBucket like this............

I've never had watermarks on my pictures

Nomadic Pirate · « **Reply #24 on:** July 05, 2020, 01:12:50 PM »

Am I paying for that ?.....man I don't know, I know I was paying 20 bucks a year,....maybe I got grandfathered in ? ...

I need to check, I sure don't want to pay more then 20 bucks a year.

YOU won't see them. You have an active paid-for account. When you go to your account, you won't see the watermarks either. However, anyone who doesn't have PB or doesn't pay PB's fees will see the watermark in a picture search online. For example, I have pictures in PB. I can still log on and such. When I'm on the site, there's no watermarks. But because I don't pay their ridiculous extortion fees, when I do a picture search online, I see the HUGE watermarks, as pictured in the screenshots above. I was done with PB years ago, looks like I will be for the foreseeable future.

Ahhhhhh,.. make sense

Nomadic Pirate · « **Reply #27 on:** July 05, 2020, 01:38:39 PM »

OK, so it looks like I got grandfathered in, but only until July 28th,

If after that I'll have to pay any more I definitely will not and let Photobucket go,

Thanks to have learned to post pictures directly I don't really need it, to bad I'll lose all them pictures,....but that's life, that's why I still print the ones I want to keep

See if you can do a bulk down load.

How you do that ? ....I have no clue, really pretty ignorant about computers

"to bad I'll lose all them pictures"
When I was recovering pics that were held hostage by PhotoBucket I found some of the pics I posted with the Bing browser using "wved airgun pics" or "nced airgun pics" the search bar. I didn't get a lot of "hits" but I did get some that were posted on the forums.

I just did a "nced airgun pics" search on Bing and these pics I posted on a forums. I right clicked on the Bing and chose "save image as", then saved it to my "pictures" folder for adding to my free imgur photo hosting site.....

Here are a few others that showed up on a "nced airgun pics" Bing search (my pics are highlighted in heavy black lines)..........

Changing the Bing search to "nced target pics" these were displayed (and others) to be "saved as" for uploading to the imgur hosting site. LOL, along with a target I also got a couple other pics I posted "way back when".........

Anywhoo....maybe ALL your pics aren't lost if you do a Bing search on your screen name with a couple other identifiers.

Good news!!!

Wish I knew about that before I lost access to my PhotoBucket pics because I wasn't about to pay the "ransom"!

Nomadic Pirate · « **Reply #35 on:** July 05, 2020, 05:32:37 PM »

Well, if you still can, pay the minimum, get your pictures and then bail

Insanity · « **Reply #36 on:** July 05, 2020, 06:00:10 PM »

Welcome glad to hear it worked. Also thumb drives are cheap now and can hold a lot. Assuming your chromebook has a USB port if not I'd hazard a guess it has a SD slot.

Nomadic Pirate · « **Reply #37 on:** July 05, 2020, 11:07:06 PM »

Ho well, the joy only lasted a bit

I was able to download one sub album but seems I'm not able to download anymore.

Yes I have a USB port,....I think

...quite sure

so do I buy a memory stick and download all my pictures in it ?

Yep, and they're cheap these days. By a bigger gig size than you think you need, especially if you have a bunch of videos.

You might be able to move them into a album or might have to dl each one individually.

Thank you to our advertisers!
