Imgbb is a free site. They have more options, and you can click on the thumbnail and get the full image size. I'm sorry if my response was short. The Photobucket issues have pissed a lot of us off. I lost about 500 some odd radio photos.

I understand. I Google'd imgbb and got a bunch of Apple stuff that didn't make sense to me. I'm still running XP and I still get confused. So if you could be so kind as to send me a lead to some simple internet site, I would be so grateful.

Not a PB user, so don't know for sure...
But you actually completely lost the pics -- as in you cannot look at them/retrieve them privately? I thought the $400 ransom was to be able to link to them in 3rd-party sites like VK, not to just look at them/download them yourself. That would be bad, bad, bad.

Yes, they'd still be there unless he closed the account. And there are fixes to allow them to be seen in forums, getting around the PB limitation. So if they were left alone, and any of us added the PB embed fixes, we could see them in the forum the same way they were originally.

So for any of you that don't want to pay the Photobucket 3rd party hosting ransom, at least don't get upset and close your PB account. That only screws everyone else from viewing the images in the threads.

Don't bet on that working for long. Anyone with a PB account should be able to download their photo's to a safe place, but at some point that option will likely go away. Long ago I came to the conclusion that there's really nothing permanent about the internet. It's all subject to going poof.

Thanks for sharing that fix!

Seems I've forgotten how to upload photos.
