Photo bucket....what is this??

[stona]

Photobucket will only go under if the owner allows it to. Fox had deep pockets, but it was sold on a few years ago to a company called Ontela and we may be about to find out how deep its pockets are

I understand their decision to increase revenue and control their bandwidth etc, what I am having trouble with is the rather arbitrary way they did it. A longer grace period would be have been nice to allow some chance of a controlled change on the part of users

However, now that they have done so what will drive the success and or failure will be how many people pony up the big money to keep 3rd party links alive. If enough do then I would expect others like Imgur and Flickr and Smugmug to follow suit and raise their prices accordingly for similar services. After all the big money only comes into play if you want to keep the 3rd party links alive. As far as being an image hosting site where others can go look at your pictures very little has changed other than lowering the amount of "free" space.

Yeah that would of been best. That being said I'm on a free account and it hasn't affected me as my sig is still showing (at least for me) so who knows...

You could use the clipping tool and save it to your comp just in case.....

 

[Robert Porter]

True, because every day more users that thought they were fine are finding out it was just a delay getting to them.

I pretty much have nothing in Pootbucket so I've stopped trying access my old account.

Its already saved on my HDD (as the Photoshop file I made it with) just haven't re-uploaded it anywhere yet...

 

[Robert Porter]

I see Photobucket finally caught up with you!

 

[Gnomey]

Indeed and I can't seem to change my signature here to sort it. It's already sorted with being uploaded elsewhere just can't change it :/

 

[Robert Porter]

That's odd? Not sure why you could not edit it?

 

[at6]

Who needs Poot Bucket now any way?

 

[Wurger]

For sure,I don't....

 

[Gnomey]

I have no option anywhere in my preferences or options to edit signatures...

 

[Wurger]

Hugh, try to move the mouse cursor over the icon with your avatar at the top bar on right. There should pop-up a menu with option Signature. Click it and you should access the editing window with your current signature seen.Switch to the Basic editor and edit the URL address pasting the one for the new siggy. Then hit the Save button below.

 

[Robert Porter]

On the left side after selecting your account should be this?

 

[Gnomey]

Don't have it. Otherwise I'd of done it by now...

 

[Wurger]

Click the Personal Details and scroll down to the Settings section on left. There should be the Signature one.

 

[Robert Porter]

Actually click on your name in the top bar, what you are seeing is the profile page dropdown, but if you click on your picture NOT the link it should get you there.

 

[Gnomey]

Nope, even on the profile page I don't have it...

 

[Robert Porter]

That is truly weird it looks like you are in the right place, could it be different for you because you are an admin?
