Well, all my Photobucket stuff is now on Imgur. Let's hope they DON'T follow the footsteps of Photobucket.

Shame that "Hidden" Account Files on Imgur are limited to URL Links, and NOT allowing direct IMG Links... However; since I'm NOT quite sure of Imgur's "Copyright" policies, I don't want my newly Uploaded images auto-deleted like Photobucket did with my short B-5 Videos... I think I'll suffer through posting URL Links, for now.

Anyone care for a Jelly Baby???




TL

EDIT: Monday, did as you said, and in Preview here at SETI I get a Broken Link...

However; with the URL Tags:

Jelly Babies.

This Link WORKS!!! :-)

So, I CANNOT, and WILL NOT rely on IMG Tags EVER working 100% with Imgur while my Account there is set to Hidden/Private... If people here want to see what I'm posting, they'll have to click the Link from now on.

Just like using Photobucket.

In Photobucket, I DID NOT have my Account "Hidden"/"Private". So, IMG Links in Photobucket always worked there for me... But, again, due to Copyright rules, I don't want Imgur to auto delete something from my Account that "THEY" Find in violation.

ALL of my photos and images were obtained FREELY from various fan based Websites, (except for the Jelly Babies, and my .gif Files), and I would hate to suddenly have these photos and images removed by some auto-delete tool on Imgur for some obscure rule they may/may not have.

As stated, Photobucket took it upon themselves to auto-delete short B-5 Videos that were free to Fans from TNT's site, back when B-5 was being hosted there. I no longer have access to those vids, 'cause the computers that contain them are all in storage. (If they even still boot; they are circa 2006 or older...) So, I've taken the precaution this time to make my Imgur Account Albums "Hidden"/"Private".

[EDIT:]

I've now Saved these modified Imgur Links into TextEdit on my MAC for easier access. The file will remain Open so that I have access from my Desktop, and NOW won't have to even Login to Imgur to get at them. :-) :-D

Oh yes and the reason they broke all the links to my photos on the internet was exactly that, they wanted everyone to pay for using bandwidth.

So once you have paid, they won't charge you again for using the bandwidth, how nice of them.

And which are these "other services", I have found the top three are totally free.

Seems they are indeed feeling the pinch, but what did they expect!!

Sorry but even if the offered it free, I would not go back to them.

Reviews of Photobucket
Not good, not good at all :-)

Yup, they really stepped in it, didn't they?
Then they slipped and fell face first into it.

As far as I can tell, PB has not reversed it's policy or fixed the tens of thousands of websites and forums they royally screwed.
