I am having trouble getting my pictures off photobucket.
When I do manage to download an album, I only get 7 pictures, even if the album has 12.
Does anyone know how do anything to make this less frustrating?

Photobucket seem to be mucking us about here especially in the UK, my pictures are working fine, but they are doing so many at a time,
so I expect to have the same treatment any time soon. They want us to Pay. I am going to try flickr they are still free.

You can resize them right on your computer. Open up the picture, click on image then scroll down and click on resize. That will open up a box giving you options to resize. It is easy.

You can open it in PAINT, click on resize, then pixels and reduce it to no more than 400 pixels and save it

I just discovered another website that some of you might love. It works much easier than Photo Bucket and it's called IMGUR (imgur.com). I deleted all of my photos on PB and now am putting them all on Imgur. It is less confusing than Flickr for me. Now I have NO pics on DF :( . I wrote to PB and told them how unhappy I am :( . I hope that everyone can find something that works for them. What a mess! They could have warned everyone at the least. I will never go back there again and I told them so!

:foryou: Hugs, Dion

I paid for extra storage, but, now Photobucket is going to charge everyone $399/year to use your own photos for any third party usage. This includes EBay, DF, etc. Boo on Photobucket. I have over 9,000 pictures on there and I guess I'm just going to lose them all.

Looks like photobucket finally discovered me... :(
Good job, photobucket. In all honesty, they were always a terrible service. I just never moved because of laziness. I think their intention has been to drive people away for a while now. They've finally figured out the best way to do that.

So unfortunate what photobucket has done. What I was told and not sure if this is correct - all paying customers have a few more months before they lose the 3rd party hosting then you must sign up for the $399 yearly fee. They will most definitely go under it was the dumbest move ever on their part. No warnings, no messages just hey we no longer will host your pics.
