Anybody else having issues with photobucket lately? It's so clogged up with garbage ads it barely loads for me even with 60 M internet, and it often locks up and crashes. What a waste of time it's become.
What are some of the better free alternatives for photo storage?
I used to use Google plus, then they changed their formatting and hot linking quit working easily...so I went back to photobucket and have the same experience as you Ben, it is frustrating for sure but I guess we get what we pay for. I have so many pics on photobucket though, it'll be hard to leave and go anywhere else...have seriously thought about becoming a "paid" ad free member justs to see how much faster it gets.

Thanks for the input folks. Looks like Picasa has been absorbed by Google. Still gotta check that one out. Shutterfly appears to be free with unlimited uploads while Amazon is free for 12 months and has a pay scale according to usage.
Ironically I got a feedback email from photobucket today. I told them the problems associated with the ads ruin the website experience and their customers will be leaving as a result. They probably already know that and are hoping folks will pay the fee to make the ads go away rather than leave, sort of forcing us into to paying. That's pretty crappy customer service. It is what it is I guess.

Yeah, for the last couple of months, PB has sucked!
Do you guys having issues with photobucket run ad blocking software? I do and have wondered if the long delay when it seems like nothing is happening is because of my AdBlock app.
For what it's worth, once the initial long delay happens and whatever ad is in cue finally pops up...I can make it go away and then it all seems to work fine. it's just that initial delay when you are trying to post a quick picture up that is such a pain.

It's so cheap and easy to use, why beat your head against the wall? The pictures never move, they are easy to link and imbed, no ads, more importantly no waiting for ads to load, and a great app so the pictures are always available if I have a signal.
All of the for 3 bucks a month.......a dime a day.
