Trying to get all my photos off photobucket and close my account before June 2. Of course it is locked up right now. Ugh.

I started going through mine months ago and am unable to access either account unless I sign up to pay. Heck with it, probably nothing I don't already have saved in other files. I do wish they'd at least have given me a chance to see all I had uploaded.

You can get to your account by entering photobucket.com where you see to upgrade. Then you can go through and delete old photos to get down below the free limit.
They now have a banner up saying they are working on the website so I am stuck this evening. Ugh.
I cleared out two old accounts. I think they deactivated at least one of my dead accounts. I think I have one other that I used for authentication sites.

Just tried and got big red box with "Hosting not allowed. Subscribe now or delete account. Last time, which was months ago, I started going through deleting stuff, then got cut off abruptly and have never been able to get back in. Oh well, I look at it this way- if I haven't missed anything by now, it wasn't worth saving on there anyway. I still have plenty of photos in other files as well as actual photographs.

I finally got everything emptied out.
Yea, I was getting the hosted issue with my old account. Just went in and deleted stuff. Remember if you have some forum post somewhere that links to photos in your account that could be the problem. Feels good to be done with PB. It was rather useless for me anymore.

Truth be told, I didn't even know photobucket was still around anymore...

I had a lot of photos in there from handbags from 2009-2016.
Now it is more of a backup site.

I used it many years ago, until I got a warning that they had been hacked.

I had paid account for years but faded off when they went to some ridiculous policy where you had to pay $400/yr to display photos online - something like that. I could easily host my own photos but am too lazy to set anything up on our website.

I quit Photobucket when they started charging for use years ago. I use Imgur now for free.
