I have used Photobucket for years. But then, a few months ago, Photobucket went downhill fast. So I did a bunch of research on free image-hosting sites that allow hotlinking.
I decided to use Abload.de, and I love Abload! The website is in German, so it isn't for everyone. To translate the site, I use a combination of Google Chrome and Google Translate, and I think it's worth the effort.
This is the shootout that convinced me to use Abload:
In the comparison of six image-hosting sites, the clear winner is minus.com, but the article is from 2012 and minus.com is absolutely horrible right now. Abload fairs pretty well in the article and it's a good read, so check it out to see how much better Abload is compared to Photobucket.
Bumping this thread because I can’t get my Google Drive pics working…
Well, if you click on the link you’ll see the picture but they don’t appear directly like Imgur or Flickr pics… :
I am done with PhotoBucket, long upload times, site is slow anyway and if you use ABP they will slow it down even further,
Stupid, really stupid
For now I am using Imgur.com

Imgur is way better than other alternatives.
There are so many posts with images missing because the hosting site like photobucket or whatever deleted them…
I had imgur and photoflushit for years. You are not immune to losing all your uploaded images at any time. Anything you upload, do not rely on the host to back-up your uploads.
The only images I have ever seen deleted by imgur are from back when they still deleted images after 6 months of 0 views, which was like 2015 or something.
Now they don’t delete anything at all.
Google photos is really reliable too, and pics under 2MB don’t take up google drive space so you can store unlimited amounts.
Never used it myself but I’m sure you can also publicly link your pics by changing the permissions.
…well that’s dumb…
Some people on this forum will mark anything as rude, because they get offended easily.
Just do like I do and ignore it it goes away after a day.
Photobucket is having upload issues. Both iPhone and iPad can’t upload new images. Photobucket says I’m not connected to the Internet :person_facepalming: . Oddly, I can link to images already uploaded.
I use to have accounts at PB and IG. Yes, it was several years back. I had accounts with both of them for years.
Imgur sent me notice (as did PhotoFlushIt) one day, and told me they were putting a cap on all accounts. Well, what? I was already far beyond that cap limit.
This was back when they were transitioning from free accounts/unlimited uploads, to paid accounts with specified cap limits.
I had YEARS of images stored on their servers from thousands of projects. I was put in a position, where I paid, or they would automatically cut my account to their specs.
I literally panic'd. That's when I went and got a nice new storage drive, and made sure I had everything I'd uploaded to their servers, archived to my drives.
Then I sent them a polite email to tell them I deleted my account.
I see nothing wrong with your post. Some members feel like their safe places are being violated when a common word like s**t is mentioned. There are more important things to worry about than a word that is said 100 billion times a day that hurts no one.
