Got Charged for a CLOSED Photobucket Account - How about You?

Free is good!

Wayne

I still have an active account at Photobucket but things don’t seem to be functioning the way the “old” Photobucket used to work.

One thing I’ve noticed is that when I click on a P-B photo and I’m taken to their site the photo does not open in a larger format the way it used to.

Still, other photos have a large “Photo Hosted By Photobucket” watermark splashed across them. Maybe these are former paying users that have not renewed?

I recall clicking on a photo submitted by a Photobucket user and the photo was enlarged to a point where fine details could be viewed. That no longer seems to be the case.

Cheers, Ed

Ed, most of the ones I post will enlarge if clicked on, and should enlarge further with another click (sometimes the photo, when clicked-on, will appear on the photobucket site, and a click on the magnifying glass icon should yield a full-screen image).

Here’s a couple…

Wayne

I tried them all, and one click got an enlargement within photobucket, and a second click on the magnifying glass gave a somewhat further enlarged image of the last photo, and full-screen images of the first three.

This is what I got from the photo of the hoist area:

I used to get the magnifying glass but it hasn’t been there since Photobucket made the “big change”

When I click on the photo of the coal-dump shed I get this screen but no option for enlarging the view:

Regards, Ed

Wayne, when I click, this is all I get.

But, it is good enough for me. [;)]

When I click on it, I go to Photobucket, and the regular Photobucket size picture comes up, no magnifying glass.

After I logged into my PB account, I get the regular Photobucket picture, and I can advance, but it doesn’t go to more of the Dr.'s pictures, it goes to pics from other members???

You used to be able to look at all the pictures a member had in there. I guess that’s changed.

The ability to view all of a photobucket member’s photos is controlled by the person to whom the album is registered. Mine was originally “Public”, but when my bandwidth useage shot-up dramatically, I changed it to “Private”.
That may account for the lack of enlargement capabilities, too.

I supposedly now have unlimited bandwidth, so I’ll temporarily change that setting to “Public”…here’s a LINK.

If you visit, please let me know if the enlargement feature works, as you should be able to get a full-screen image of most photos - there are some older ones there which will not enlarge. Also, try the four photos posted here earlier - perhaps they’ll work now.

I will likely revert it to “Private”, but will wait to see how it works for others, for now.

Wayne, it says folder is empty.

I just looked at mine, and it is unlocked.
