The Photobucket issue

OhioYJ · 07-25-2017, 02:32 PM

Why would this site host images on a third party site anyways?

I pay ~$120 a year for my website, unlimited storage, I unlimited bandwidth. That's where my photos are stores and posted from.

It blows me away that so many businesses were using photobucket. This is probably why they set the price so high because they figure businesses will pay it. The average person was not going to pay anything anyways.

Third party hosting means that we have our pictures on Photobucket (or other) site and embed an IMG code in our posts.

I'm aware of what third party hosting means and what photobucket does, maybe the OP is not since he asked if this site was going to pay? This led me to believe this site was hosting images there as well, not just users. I'm on another forum that was doing that for some.images because they just didn't know any better.

So to make matters worse the whole situation is confusing people.

Gotcha.

Ticks me off that they just up and started charging with no warning that I'm aware of.
Hate being blindsided.

Yep, I thought it was the site that would have to pay in order to allow the cross linking. I guess I'm wrong.
