How are you guys posting full size pictures, mine always look like thumbnails and I can't figure it out.

Thanks guys but I'm not going to take a chance of having my photos held hostage..

ditto..............what a nightmare photobucket caused. That's a company that does no way deserves to be in business. Not necessarily the route others may take, but you have to ask yourself why do they do this for free?? Why take the chance? it's the old "fool me once, and it's bad on you, but fool me twice and....." So many forums with long, involved, time consuming to do, thread over the years that became totally useless and lost(some forever) when photobucket held them hostage. If nothing elso, think of the time guys (like Joe here) have spent putting together the threads to share with us. How many guys on the HAMB now deceased that the pictoral records are now no longer available. Not worth the chance. You have to at least ask why they're doing it for free.

Rich, they make money by tracking you and selling that info to advertisers etc..

I learned my lesson with Photo****et; every picture I post using Imgur, is transferred into a Folder labeled "Posted Already". That way, I at least have a copy of everything I post.


And just so you know, a lot of those Photo****et images can be restored. One of the other forums I am a member on came out with a fix that works. Here's a link if you're interested: https://www.fullsizebronco.com/forum/19-suggestions-feedback-site-help/467474-your-guide-surviving-photobucket-apocalypse.html
If you are an Admin and have some dead threads that you would like to save and use a different host, it may be worthwhile.
