Dear Photobucket,

I'm not worried - I'll post my photos elsewhere.

    Photobucket restricts ALL accounts. Many people post photobucket links and since I am not a member of PHotobucket or user, I can not see them, it says "Access Denied"... So please do not use photobucket to post photos.. Use Dropbox
  • I also just tried and had no problem.



    I don't know where you are getting Phtobucket.com/p500, but when I typed it in directly, I got the same page you did.

    If you are hitting this EVERY time you click your favorites or bookmarks, then clear the cookies and cache on your computer and then go through the log in again.
  • I haven't been to my photobucket in years and I have a LOT of my pics there and not backed up. Just logged in and all my stuff is still there.

    Whew! You all got me worried I lost them all. :C
  • I've been able to post my links just fine.. What I hate is when I go to my free account, it turns into this ads site and I can't even see my own pics without clicking/closing several ads... Once I can link one, it still works..

    Anything I have on this site, is NOT my only copy of that pic... It's only to be able to post them on forums to share with you folks..

    I still have the pics on my computer and backup drive, so it's not like I'm using them as my only photo storage place...

    They suck for sure with all the ads, but that's the only way I can post the pics I want to post on the interweb.. I guess I could find another pic hosting site, but I'm lazy... ;) But, I can still link just fine..

    Darn typo corrected, thanks for the input!

    Keep using photobucket for free and see what happens. I assume that soon my various pictures won't post.

    I understand their desire to have me pay for their picture hosting and my desire to not pay.
  • Just pulled this from our Photobucket free account....so at least for me, Photobucket is still working.

  • Dump them. They lost all of my images and just said "Sorry, it happens sometimes."
