Photobucket

I have purchased several canvas prints from Photobucket online. The results are amazing! Over the past year I have seven prints made. They have been of all sizes, from 10x10 to 16x20. The photos were all from my cellphone, and I am far from an expert photographer. Yet the results just blew me away! Every time I open a packaged print, I am stunned by the quality. These are like works of art! I have given many as gifts, and they were very well received. I can't say enough good things about the quality of work they do here! I plan to buy canvas prints every time they have a sale!

I was unable to access my paid account for almost 6 weeks earlier this year. It was finally restored and worked okay for a short while. For the last three days though, my images are "now you see them, now you don't". Photobucket is unreliable and and inconsistent and treat their customers in a shameful manner. In the "real" world, this business would not last 2 weeks. It's a damned shame and a sham and I feel like a fool for ever getting involved with these pirates. Run, don't walk away from these charlatans!

At one point, I enjoyed hosting my photos here, because it was an easy free site that I could use easily to save my photos and post them elsewhere. Then they decided to start pushing their paid accounts - fair enough - but then got to the point where they decided to severely chop back what you could host for free, and hold the photos hostage more or less until/unless you do upgrade.

I am now constantly getting emails about "Upgrade or manage your photos or maybe lose them! (This has been for multiple years now" and yet their interface to actually DO any sort of managing is just... terrible. You have to download any photos you want to keep one by one and then delete them. Without any actual, you know, clear thumbnail/image so you can really see what it is and make sure you need it or want to save it. I have waded through downloading some but I had enough photos saved here that I just haven't yet been able to deal with all the photos, and it's no end irritating to have them attempt to hold my own photos against me like this.

Just... avoid.

This business is a total scam. Says free hosting, but not on 3rd party sites.
Way to go out of business and I wish the baddest luck to everyone working there.
1:400 dollars to host on another site for 1 year? RIDICULOUS, go to imgur
2: Site is slow as hell, doesn't even deserve to exist
3: Ad ridden site and invasive as it can be, I'm not amused.
I take my business elsewhere.

Photobucket's new policy has ruined years and years of useful forum posts. Without the pictures, these archived posts are completely useless and cause me to have to pay other companies (not photo sharing companies) and people for things I previously could research on my own. And no amount of money I pay to restore MY third photo sharing abilities will bring back the literally hundreds of posts that I've already found stripped of their usefulness in forum searches. Talk about a $#*! move.

Photobucket "used to be" the place on the internet to host your photos. Many forums (especially helpful ones) were based upon fellow users who also posted photos that were hosted by photobucket. I don't know how they got their revenue... but it was their business model that allowed millions to host photos on their site and link directly to them. Fast forward to new ownership and they screwed everyone - many helpful forums now have blurred out pics that are basically useless and people can no longer find helpful items on the internet where it once existed.

This is the worst company to find its way to the internet. There updates say they notified people so they could move or save their photos which is a complete lie. I was never contacted about any changes and frankly didn't even know my email signature was hosted by them. Thank God I was able to get it back and this company will hopefully go by by

I have ordered from Photobucket many times in the past and have always been satisfied... not this time. They sent me a canvas with the face of one person wrapped around the side of the frame. It was an anniversary gift for a dear friend's parents. I did not submit the photo with the face wrapped around the side. I asked them to replace it and they said that the gets thousands of orders and that no one looks at them to see if the quality sucks... is that any way to do business? I didn't have this problem before when I submitted pictures to be printed on canvas. They refused to do anything about it so I am just letting you know what kind of company this is... zero loyalty to the customer and zero customer support services.

It's becoming impossible to use their service. If you have a free account you are battered with ads. If you have a pay account (you still might be battered with ads and their help department is sad and very unhelpful). Starting soon if you use post images in forums be papered to pay $400 for them to allow you to post! Greedy companies die from driving away customers and looks like Photobucket is on it's way down the drain.

One month late and they are threatening to delete my account? I'm deleting my account myself and will no longer do business with photobucket. Thank you.
