Not sure what the objection to that is. LOTS of storage, good image quality, free, easy to use.

I just finished moving all the pics I had stored online to Flickr. Photobucket is dead to me.

i'm using flickr too, but i don't think it will be long before all these sites are going to start charging for pic hosting. what it does to documented threads, like we have on this site, really sucks.

PB is like everyone else. They're trying to make money to stay solvent. If they can lure you in they'll take your money just like anyone else would. IIRC it a 2 GB limit for free usage. That's a lot of photos and whatever else you upload.

You only have to pay if you go over your limit. Delete stuff you don't want or need to make room and keep it free. I've had PB for close to 10 years and I have no problems with it. Even the ads don't bother me... I just close them out and keep doing what I want to do.

All the IMG links I use on the forums still work... until I delete the photo on PB. Other attachments I upload from my computer.

Gary, it's only free if you don't use it to post to 3rd party sites like this one. It's almost $500 a year (!) if you pay by the month. They'll give you a break if you pay by the year. 'Only' $399...
I'm in the process of moving all of my stored photos there to my hard drive then I'm done with them. Almost unusable with the popups now anyway.
Believe me, they just haven't gotten to your account yet. One day you'll open a post that you attached a photo to and you'll get the '100%-speedo' .

I am leaving all of my photos in there. I figure they can take up some of PB's storage indefinitely even if I never access their site again. Just a little payback...

Greg all I can see is the "100%-speedo"

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world.
