Photobucket no longer offers free Third Party Image Hosting
Georgeag1972:
The pictures I have sent until 2013 are still on the forum. From 2012 and back are not visible. There is not way to pay these money to have an account on Photobucket.
Can someone tell me how to use attachments? I have tryed it in the past but I didn't understand what I must do.
Is there a thread on the forum with some explanations?
George.
Hadoque:
I was recommended by some here to use Photobucket, but I (gladly) never did it. I prefer to keep my pics saved at my own personal hard-& software, as I anticipated things like this would happen.
Soon other free hosting sits will follow suit and you´ll have to pay, mark my words. Or you´ll get a service to pull your hairs out, like often already is the case.
I predict same will happen sooner or later with social media, even when Suckerberg keeps insisting his Fakebook will remain for free. Money makes the world go round, they say. (Though I´m sure it are laws of physics that do the trick.)
I´d like to use this occasion once again to plead for allowing larger attachements then 100KB here on PF. No need for huge pic-sizes like on f.e. fakebook, but picture-sizes same as on Klickywelt would already be a great improvement.
@George:
When you start typing a post or a reply, you see the sentence "attachements and other options" directly below the text-field.
A few CMs further down you should see "Attach:" with a button "choose file". There you click on to upload pictures from your computer, laptop, mac, Intergalactic Iphone or whatever hardware you use.
You should first resize your pictures to a max. size of 100KB. You can attach 4 pics per post. For uploading more then 4 pictures, you have to add another or more posts.

Thanks for letting us know about this, GrahamB. I saw this issue coming up elsewhere too. My threads (and many others too) are now full of those terrible placeholders. :(
bonniebeth:
I discovered this a few days ago and am pretty upset about it. It means all my photo stories, dioramas, everything I've ever posted here is now lacking pictures. :( What's worse, I don't have most of those pics anywhere but photobucket due to a computer crash, and I'm having trouble downloading them from photobucket. Very frustrating.
Problem with attaching photos here is I believe there's a limit on how many any given member can attach.
