I can view Photo Bucket images again without using the PB extension meaning they are visible on my iPhone and using Safari on the MAC. Hope it is not a temporary condition.

They sent me an email offering me an account for $1.99 per month. They would not have lost all their customers if they had offered something like that before.

My photos from the past suddenly reappeared about a week ago as I was redoing the photos on the EM Reilly line. No one asked me for money. However, I still changed them out on that line (Dave reopened the posts for me) because you just can't trust them. Have the photos from 10 years ago reappeared for all postings?

This company tried to practice blatant extortion...."you WILL pay us or all the web sites in the world which have used us for 15 years will be blank." They destroyed whole lines of hobbyists' postings - stamp collectors, oriental rugs, shotguns. And now they come back begging for business. Will anyone trust them ever? They'll be bankrupt in a year.

I just checked some pics I posted eight years ago on the Parker board and "presto!" They have reappeared!

They didn't lose all their customers.

Nope Stan - I'm not a bettor; But I do know that they had millions of customers and millions of clicks per day...and because of that they sold so many ads that it was difficult to navigate the site. They really controlled the market for 15 years. It was an amazing business model; by offering free stuff they made a ton of money.

Then they decided to opt for extortion. It obviously didn't work. But in the meantime 15 competitors have sprung up and photobucket will never have that market dominance again.

Went back to look at a 2010 line on Reilly. This is what you get. Yep...that's a fine fine company alright.

I'm not defending PB in any way or in anything. All I've ever said is that it has always worked for me, without ever paying them a dime...........and some others too, it seems. It's bad that so many pics were apparently lost, but when you're getting something for free, why not use some foresight and back it up yourself? Personally, I never thought of this forum, or any other, as a database that would last forever, pics or no pics.
