Title: My legacy photos on the GH and Photobucket
Post by: goodfellow on Dec 04, 2025, 06:22 PM
Sorry about the damn Photobucket watermarks on all my legacy pics. I refused to pay the ever increasing high prices to maintain a "link" account, and switched to a more reasonably priced basic account. The problem is that Photobucket now puts those annoying watermarks on all the picture in my library. That's the penalty for choosing the basic option.

A total rip-off, and I have switched to another provider, but since I have thousands of pics on Photobucket, this will have to do for now.

My apologies --

The watermarks are not the worst thing in the world. I'm actually kinda surprised they're still around.

I can never understand  why anybody would use a 2ndary site to host photos.
Just load them in you own putet in the picture  file..

On many forums you need an image hosting site unless you're a paying member, and on some one can have troubles trying to post a good useful full sized image.

I'm on post image and they have started the "hey for a few bux you too can be  a preferred member" schpeal. I got sucked into the photobucket, "oh yeah, we will be foreva free!" until the weren't nonsense too.
