Use Imgur

Where you link direct to the photo. They only want you to post a clickable link. Although, it's OK if you pay $300 a year.

I just spent half the night transfering all my tnttt photos to Imgur Haha

Yes.. it will take a me some time, but I will edit and replace links. No way I am going to let them extort $$ like that after it was a free service and we had to endure the endless pop up ads. I'd pay a small fee for the service, but they want a lot for that all of a sudden. I am done with them.

I am going to talk with TNTTT admin and see if they will do a search and replace where just the link path is changed. I have all the photos on my PC with the same file name. I will figure out another way to host them and just change to path. Else I'll need to edit each post with a picture.. that's alot.

I started the process last night and it shouldn't be too bad. First I downloaded all my pics from photobucket. They all came into my computer as a zip file. This way all the pics are sized and edited just as I have them on here. Then uploaded them to Imgur and started replacing them. It is helpful to place the new link above the old one and do a preview before deleating the photobucket link. One nice thing is Imgur allows you to copy the link with the img brackets in place. Saves a little time.

Well, this crap about photobucket truly creates a massive vacuum

Not being all that great at figuring out computer "stuff" I reckon it'll probably
some time next summer when I can get it all sorted out. Well, one way to beat
the heat, stay inside and try not to throw the laptop through a wall.

Well, I got my pics and links for my ctc build all transferred to Imgur!
Now to track down all the other posts I have made over the last 10 years.

I deleted all of my photos and then deleted my account. $400 a year is a ridiculous amount of money for a simple hosting service. Too bad all of my posts on this and several other forums are broken, but so be it.

Using AdBlocker, it would block approximately 30-50 ads per page on photobucket. I still got pop ups every time. The service was snail pace as well for the last several years.

Good riddance. I'll use Imgur or something else. I just have to fix the threads I want to stay relevant.

interesting.... i didn't get the email... and all my pictures are still up? ... i did finally pay the $15 year cause i was tired of the long uploads cause of the pop ups

Start migrating to IMGUR, you probably bought a bit ore time is all.

I finally found on their website... under terms..I must be grandfathered in ... it said if you did not get a letter you can continue 3 Rd party hosting until Dec 2018

mrwall1, Howdy;

Would you please be so kind as to find that nugget of information and post a link?
May prove helpful for others.

Thanks,
