Title: Photobucket links working again?
Post by: Jason on July 17, 2018, 10:17:55 AM

Seems as though the photobucket pictures are working again.....or at least the links from my account. Anyone else notice this where their pictures?

Did they finally figure out that holding photos for ransom wasn't working either?

Looks like it happened back in May:

Good deal. I won't use it for any future pictures but nice to see all the old links up and running again. When browsing the website it seems the pop up ads are gone and the site operates a lot smoother too.

They have a new CEO who rescinded the $400/yr policy, sounds like a subscription model is coming...$2/month for some storage amount.

I think that's doable.

I had never lost my links for some reason. I had not logged into PhotoBucket in a quite some time and I was always receiving rate deal advertisements through my email but ignored all of them.
