Went back to my Contrail HP42 build thread from 2010 and the pics are back!I refuse to pay them anything so why the sudden reversal?
Yes cant trust them and the restoration may only be temporary,but fir now it is ok.
it seems to be only on FSM at the moment , just tried pete coleman's site , it wasn't happening there .
My old pics are back up, good for them. Still won't touch them with a barge pole.
I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

I read, on another forum, that the genius behind the $400 membership fee has been turfed from PB and replaced. PB has restored 'free' hosting for the time being until they get all their ducks in a row Once they have things figured out (in a year or so) they will probably charge some form of hosting fee and it will never be a free service again.
When this buffoonery started at PB, I deleted all my photos and then my account. I won't use them again either. You can't take back a kick in the groin. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
Retired and living the dream!
Since I went to postimage, I find I like it better than PB. That flap about latel overdue payment was quick. Site was back in operation before I even heard about it- my pics were there by the time I checked.

tempestjohnnyIt's nice to see the old pics and threads they destroyed back up and running but I'm not going back
Modeling is an excuse to buy books.
Quite interesting information. Thank you for posting it, philo. Not sure I'd have known otherwise.
It is a big deal on the internet in general to have these pics back, so many ruined threads and killed information. But as discussed above, will it last?
Heh.... PB finding out they’re losing money and subscribers and attracting new subscribers. A bit too late to make amends doncha think? Nope never ever going back to PB.

Yes,did they really think that people would tolerate the stuff they pulled?No Way!
They may be providing the linked images again, but they have not changed anything else.
There are no free accounts, and still only one of their paid accounts offers 3rd-party hosting. That's the Plus500 account, the most expensive one.
When I access PB now, at least I can log in, which I could not do before. But I get a message that my account is restricted, that I have exceeded my storage limit, and prompting me to upgrade my account.
The bigger the government, the smaller the citizen.
Frankly, the best news is that everyone got their links restored and that a significant portion of what's online in this hobby makes sense again.
Unforgivable- initial action to kill links and proposal to collect $ 399.00 to restore them.
I didn't spend much time reconstructing old posts I'd made.
I have no idea what the future will bring but I am done there.
I copied all of my images and walked away.

This is good news. I just checked my Mayflower thread and it's all there. So yeah... links restored. We'll see for how long. Probably a mistake!
That's what its about to me too. Now we hold our breath, like everybody already said.
Read about this on another forum. Too little too late. They ped off too many people by now. Would't touch them with a 42.2km pole. I deleted my account and I am using imgur now.
Looks like its back to the way it was... I heard about previous P-Bucket links working again, so I checked mine, and sure enough they were. I actually posted some images here in the aircraft forum about 3 days ago.
However...
Today, 26 MAY, I can't even open the P-Bucket website, my browser just times-out without the page opening, and all the images I just posted to the thread are gone.
Like several other modelers I know, I'm done with P-Bucket. I have back-ups of all my photos, and a paid ImageShack account, so I just need to sepnd some time this long weekend redoing the links so they work.

I think everyone is done with Photobucket. It's been suggested either in this thread or another one about this latest PB move, that they must be bleeding revenue since their disastrous decision, and that's why they started honoring 3rd-party calls for images again. If that is true, it makes sense.
I can't think of anyone who would actually pay PB now, $400 a year for 3rd-party hosting.
I hope they fired the marketing genius who came up with this whole idea.
