[RESOLVED] Photobucket Links No Longer Working
« on: March 28, 2017, 03:12:38 AM »
Recently, in the past week or so, it seems that links to images on Photobucket are no longer showing up. Case in point, the two in my signature.

I checked to make sure the URLs of the images hadn't changed, and tried setting the album they're in to public, but that didn't work.

Test:

This one showed up in the preview, but when I post it, it goes away.

Hmm that's strange.. It doesn't work for me either.. It shows a corrupted icon symbol. Although I can confirm that the link actually work since if I right click on it and press "Open image in a new tab" it really shows me the image on Photobucket..

Might be a similar issue as with image link to FA pictures. Unsure, though.

Might just be Photobucket's new system. They don't allow hotlinking, which may be necessary for displaying the image.

Yeah, the issue is with Photobucket. They now want you to pay them money to allow you to link to images uploaded there and thus  have intentionally broken most/all links.

This too, and another part to it. Photobucket links that D0 work just redirect you to a page full of ads--more ad money!

Photobucket wants more money thus they're gonna make you pay to link.
Change sites is my advice

imgur's my go-to for this,  links (almost) fine. There's other stuff that links a bit better,  but imgur is quick and convenient so...

That's pretty cruddy of Photobucket to do. I'm using Imgur now. Seems to be working well.

Yep, I deleted my almost 10 year old PB account, stating this and various other BS things they've done as the reason, like how they gave me lifetime free unlimited storage for photos just to revert it a couple months later when they updated their subscription plans back in 2011-2012...

Ok, we've established it's Photobucket's fault :P
It's unfortunate, but I hope Imgur or other sites can provide a good home for your images you want to share.

Will marked this as resolved now then.


PS:
I saw with the preview image of the first post when editing the title that it showed:
"Please update your account to enable 3rd party hosting."
So that pretty much covers it, I see now :/
