Photo bucket o' Crap!

[voodoo57]

well,  i done what they asked with their icons on every page that should have had a photo, it didn't work, so i asked for my money back......

they replied yesterday, basically, what i bought was not for 3rd party, therefore i get to post no pictures, so, in their terms and conditions, i do not get a refund,

i have replied with, you sold me the wrong item, therefore you are at fault, so give me my money back...... I await............................................

I think many will do the same, signed their own death warrant if you ask me.

Yup. I haven't used them for a few years but my photos for 2011-13 were on photobucket. I've moved most of them and I'll close my account asap.

Have opened a Flickr account but don't know how to post an image just a link.

Have started to pay Apple 79p a month for 50Gb and am considering my own RAID server instead of using some of my works 24Tb one

they replied saying the option i chose was not the correct one for what i wanted?

i simply replied, you gave me three options, the one highlighted was not for me as i do not upload anywhere near the amount for the cost they are asking for?

and added, so where is my choice? where are my options? clearly there were no options for my needs?  they replied, the usual 'Terms/Conditions, no refund jargon' I told them to stick it! paypal suck as well! if it had been an ebay item, it would have been simpler, maybe i should meet up with them both and have a good ol' Punch up! ( but we all know they won't turn up!)

oh well, onto a different system i go!

Well I also deleted all my pics. Won't use it any longer.

Tinypic has been working fine for me since PB started ditching the links, free and easy. Don't know how long for though, especially if everybody from PB jumps across?

I'm assuming they *wanted* us to all close our accounts and walk away.

 

The way they've gone about this - 24 hours notice in my case, and no monthly hosting option, suggests they aren't interested in striking up new paid accounts, as the approach they've taken isn't going to make you think they're a good company to deal with. 

 

So my best guess is this is a one-off cash grab. Most users won't pay the $400. Of those who do, most will surely only pay it once to get them out of the current position while they look for a new host?

Click on the photo.

Theni n the bottom right corner you will see a bendy arrow. 

Click it and you get embeb or whatever options and resize as well.

good show! I am still getting emails from them saying 'we have not heard from you in a while, we hope this has all been sorted'!!!

clearly they don't read their emails with the prominent wording of **CK OFF!

Upload the photo direct to here. You won't be held to ransom by someone down the line then.
