Photobucket images broken, $399 a year!

with their watermarks…they are no longer yours….they are theirs

I am quite sure I have deleted all my pictures when I stopped using Photo(.)ucket.
For once I am glad my old ISP kicked me (and thousands others) to the curb because of regulatory issues.

I noticed the watermark on other’s images, but I just checked and mine haven’t shown that yet. I’m not sure what my exact cut-off date is that my previously “paid” service drops to their free service. At least it’s better than losing the view of the images entirely!

I deleted all my images off Photobucket and canceled my account when they pulled that nonsense over a year ago. I’ve been happily using imgur ever since.

Edit: I see I already posted on the first page. I guess I’m going senile. Oh well. My advice to you young people, Don’t Get Old! lol

The watermark only shows when the photo is displayed on a third party website (like BLF). The watermark will not show if you are viewing the photo on photobucket’s website directly.

Correct. I checked posts on BLF with pics still hosted on PhotoBucket and they’re not watermarked yet.

Just wanted to say if anyone still has “Photobucket Embedded Image Fix” installed in Chrome, it was producing random ad popups for me when I visited sites like Aliexpress and eBay. It no longer appears in the Chrome store and I assume that’s why. Took me ages to track down what was causing the damn popups.

Dang good to know. That’s the kind of good info that justifies a necro.
