Anyone else tired of photobucket?

[Naeann]

I've "Exceeded" my bandwith for the month.  WTF.  I've used photobucket for my sigs for like 5 years now and never had this issue before.  What does everyoen else use?  I'm switching to something that won't shut off my sig just cause I don't upgrade to their stupid pro service.

I've had trouble with photobucket on occasion too - you could always try imageshack although I find imageshack to be less user-friendly. I'm not sure what the policy is on posting links? Better safe than sorry though so just google imageshack if you want to check it out  ;)

I actually uploaded my sig and avvy to DM's photo gallery.  No bandwidth limit for use on DM, and the use on DM doesn't cut into my photobucket bandwidth on other sites (I use the same sig and avvy 2 or 3 other places.

[Naeann]

I'll look at imageshack.  I didn't even consider that, Kivam, because I thought that was basically for fanart.

[Far Dareis Mai]

Wow, that is so weird. I've got probably hundreds of people's sigs hosted at any time and I've never run into bandwidth problems there.

To whom should I speak about getting permission to uplload my avatar photo? I have it on myspace and I can't get it to show here. Trying to find the solution to that problem has been rather frustrating.

 

 

 

EDIT: whim=whom

I am using my ftp to host from my ISP, which is quite nice :D

[aemonkristen]

Thanks. I finally just opened the image on it's own website and pasted it here. Seems to be working for the nonce. I even opened a photobucket account and couldn't do it from there. I'm such an idiot.  :o

[Anoxanmore]

Hmm for some reason I am unable to see my avatar even though I moved it... I must fix that.

[Tynaal Consen]

I have never had any problems with Photobucket and I have tons of sigs too >.>

 

[Naeann]

I never did before now.

[Anoxanmore]

A lot of websites if you just recently signed up with them have differing standards depending upon when you sign up, for example I have a tripod website account, that still has 100MB limit, even though currently if you were to sign up, you would get 20.  They grandfathered me into it, mostly because I've had the account since '98.

 

<_<

>_>

 

I'm not that old darn all of you. :P

[Naeann]

I have had that account probably 8 years or so.

[Anoxanmore]

I have no idea then Naeann... just smack them upside the head. :D

[Liitha]

there is a measure of storage and bandwidth, why not log into your acount and check it

 

i got 139mb storage and 78 mb bandwidth according to my acount, and it shows with a bar how much i use, as well as giving a % nr of usage of either

The past two times I have been to photobucket I have gotten a virus...The first one totally crashed my dad's computer-we had to reinstall windows and everything...The second one is trying to do it again.  They have gotten through the firewall too!

Eset Nod32 would solve that issue...

*Can't remember his password and this has an "inactive" photobucket account now...

[Anoxanmore]

They do allow you to retrieve the password using their "forgot password" link.  If you remember what email they send the reminders to, you would be able to reactivate it :D

[Gerrendus]

The problem is that the email tied to that account was a dragonmount account I created which I ALSO have no means of accessing...

or if I do it's through another email account and i really have no clue how to get it :P

[Anoxanmore]

Well see you made it overly complicated.
