Got my Photobucket brigandry email today. No way I'm going back & trying to identify what pic was shere on multiple hobby interest internet forums over the years. Just lost now.

How does that work?
Click on the upload button:
Then this window will pop up. Click on "Choose File", then select the pic you want to upload, then click on "Add file from your PC". Once you're done uploading, click "All Done".
I usually just use tinypic.com though, no account you just upload and copy the link. I have posts on here from 2013 that still have the pictures. Tinypic.com is owned by Photobucket though.
I still have all the photos I put on photobucket, but every pic I've posted the last few years won't show. Starting afresh, like I'm a newby on the internet. Just annoyed that they were the ones talking me into using their services, telling me how great they are, then they pull the plug.

This is the SIMPLE way to do it.
I just found out this method last Month after years of trying to use hosting web-site.
Another Photobucket refugee here, I've also switched to Imgur.
The problem with upload is I'd need to do it at each site I want to post a picture too, and some sites don't have uploading directly, so I'd be using a hosting service anyway.
Yup, after over a decade of using them they tried to strong arm me into paying too. NOT! I am now trying out imgur. Not crazy about the UI there but totally free and can show on other sites. Photobucket can kiss my butt.
As mentioned, you can upload pics directly from your computer to the site. But once posted you have no control over your photo gallery, unlike other websites.
