Post by Deb17 »

All of a sudden today my siggy pic was gone and there is a message from photobucket saying I have to pay to be able to use them to post pictures. Anyone else have this happen?

Not sure what the issue is with your siggy. I use photo bucket and my siggy picture is showing just fine.

Photobucket has only a certain amount of memory you can use. Perhaps you've used it up? Try re-uploading your picture and see if that helps, too. Photobucket is such a massive pain... yet I still use it myself. I've just gotten used to all of it's annoying flaws.

You have to sign up for the Plus500 plan now for $39.99 a month to get third-party hosting. Too expensive!!

I think Photobucket allows a certain amount of third-party hosting and when you've reached the max it no longer works.

Just looked, mine is on 75%, so when it gets to 100% it won't work? Can you still see your pictures Valerie-Anne?

Oh no. Lately, my pics are blurry on PB. Siggy is still showing. When I got close to full, I started using hubby's PB account. Terrible photo quality and soooo slow.

I can still see my pictures on Photobucket, just can post them to other sites like Doll-Fan. Not sure what to do. :dunno:

Oh, yes, you may want to back up those pictures since they are priceless. So sorry that you've lost your husband. I'm sure you continue to miss him very much.

I got the same message & my album has LOADS of space. It said if I paid a fee per year I could use it for third party posting. i don't post photos often enough for that charge. I can see if I was selling on Ebay or something. Want to check & see if there might be another way to go. I've tried to put the images on here, but it says they are too large to post.

I don't use photobucket anymore. I just upload my pictures to my computer and it's very easy to download them here to DF. At the bottom of a post just click on full editor and preview then attachments and then click on the add files. Works great for me! :D

Barby when I have problems with the size I just resize my pic. smaller until it fits.

I also us my computer to download on ebay. I hate PB. It got to be such a pain! :roll:

That's what I do when posting a picture on a specific post but what do you do for a siggy picture?

The only third party hosting I have used is my siggy picture on DF, absolutely nothing else, just 1 picture on 1 site.
