Just got an email saying all my pics have been restored. Checked some old threads, and sure enough, the pics are back.
New owners also have a new price structure from $20/year. |

Don't know how long that will last but for 3rd party hosting costs you pay $1.10 per day.
Don't see anywhere on their site of your $20 plan, as far as I'm concerned Photobucket still charges a premium price. http://photobucket.com/plans/ Cheers |

click on the 'exciting new updates' at the top.
takes you to this page. perhaps it still won't suit everyone, but for people that just need a small amount of storage and image hosting, it seems ok. https://support.photobucket.com/hc/e...w-Photobucket- |

Thanks for the heads up Rob.
Dayum, I got the poos something chronic with PB and deleted my account. Should've just left it there, would've been happy to pay a modest hosting fee, just not the extortionate amount they were asking. The way PB went about it was very poor form. Cheers!

PB asks for a "high price" for 3rd party hosting of your photos. Everyone is angry and wants their photos to be restored. PB then has "new management" that is only asking for a "low price" for 3rd party hosting of your images. Everyone is happy to pay the "low price" to restore their images. Hmmm...

Nope they can get stuffed for screwing everyone in the first instance, redemption for them is imo restore 3rd party hosting permanently for a start with this new price structure.
cheers, Maka

Yep.
They broke half the internet with their greed. I've got free third party hosting.

I did not see the limited offer by Photobucket when I visited their site but they still can get stuffed reason being new members will eventually pay a premium price after the limited time offer expires.
Seen this type of B.S before, Once Bitten twice Shy Cheers. |

yes, it would appear that most (myself included) have moved on to other 3rd party hosters, which provide a free service, and the backflip from Photobucket is 'too little, too late'.
I wonder if they will continue to host the pictures they've reinstated if the customer decides not to sign up to a paid membership? |

Same ... I have gone through some of my older threads .... and I can see them there now .... so it seems to be allowing them to be hosted for now.

My photo's have also reappeared.
Frankly, I was never a fan of the websites clunky nature. I have been using PostImage, and apart from a hiccup last month, its far easier to upload images.

In my territory thread, I lost a lot of those pics because I used thumbnails. Bit annoying as you can't go back and edit the links. It is a lot easier to upload and/or resize pics though, I do agree. |

Wow, you're right!
Just checked out some old threads and all pics are back again. Can only imagine PB copped a huge backlash and have eaten some humble pie.

^^^They will be eating #*&$% pie & even more backlash now imo if they have those piccies appearing only temporarily for the time being.

If you can make do with 10gig storage, the special offer is $20/year.
If you sign up for a year subscription, surely they would have to honour that price for the full term. |

Biggest dog act in the history of the web. Hope everyone uses the opportunity to download their long lost pics and stop using photobucket forever

The new CEO seems to be trying fairly hard to win back old customers as they've reinstated all the photos that were previously blocked and reduced prices. So for the price of a packet of smokes I'm prepared to take up their offer of AUD$27 for 10GB storage, including third-party hosting, with no ads, for a year. Then I'll see how it goes after that.

Well I am fuming
![]() ![]() Spent a lot of time rebuilding my thread pics wherever possible, set up AFF gallery and have been using Postimage. Don't trust PB as far as I can throw them ![]()

I have already replaced most of my PB gallery pics on AFF with AFF gallery or Postimage pics so am finding it all very frustrating to say the least. The cheapest plan of $27/year with 3rd party hosting gives only 2GB. This is what I can see in Plans, http://s1045.photobucket.com/plans/#yearly
