I haven't used Photobucket since the day they started charging for 3rd party hosting, and I don't miss it a bit.
It was always so slow I can't believe I hung in there for 10+ years.
I think about it every time it takes me 25 minutes less to to load and upload pics.
Photobucket was not only slow, but failed to load pics often.
The other hosting services are faster, more reliable, and they don't have all those ridiculous pop-up videos.
I'll take a look to see if there are any Photobucket pics I care about but so far there hasn't been any.
I shouldn't complain because it was free, but Photobucket blows.
I always thought it was one of those you get what you pay for.
