A few years ago I decided to download all my photos on Photobucket to an external hard drive. It turned out to be good move but it was only last night that I discovered a small problem. I was looking for a copy of Citation G-VUEM to post on the Forum. I found it on my hard drive and uploaded to FlickR but I could not find it. I searched but to no avail. I looked at the copy of the original photo of G-VUEM and also the EXIF data. I went into Properties of the photo and clicked on “Remove properties and personal information” . You can remove the info and create a copy with the EXIF still on it. I was then able to upload my photo to FlickR and the Forum. Hope this helps. Beemer.

Steve I did a photo montage on how to do FlickR but it is best doing it one to one. I could try you with the photos, not to-night as I need my beauty sleep. If you are interested, in the mean time join FlickR then you are half way there. Brian.

I’m resurrecting this post after reading a post on another forum: This was posted on another forum: “Welcome to the New Photobucket! Photobucket has new management, and we are liberating your images! As of today, your hosted images are live. Photobucket has a new management team that wants to do the right thing. We are committed to earning back your trust and offering comprehensive and flexible image storage and hosting options for our customers. We’ve taken your feedback and made some changes to our pricing model that allows us to offer competitively priced plans that fit the needs of all of our customers.” It looks like our pictures may be back! I believe that some of our “lost” pictures are already back....perhaps members can check some of their old post using photobucket to confirm if this is true Phil  |

Photobucket along with their sidekick postimage are easy to use for embeding pictures on forums but the worst hosting sites for photo quality.
The jpeg compression engine used by them is woeful.Flickr is far superior,and very slick.
Postimage full of dating ads and suchlike, photobucket haven't resurected the photos as a favour to their users, just regaining some ground lost by search engine redirects.
In the spirit of TSB bank, "come back and use us again, everything's okay now"..dream on !
I wonder if photobucket really are resetting their moral compass and contemplating refunding the ransom money paid by some users to keep their photos viewable, I think not.
GDPR compliance may be their way of saying "doing the right thing" and restoring the links to owners material.
Handy that old posts are getting pics back though.

Still a subscription service is needed though as you only get 1 GB of storage free, unless i'm wrong.
