Not yet, but I will download all my pictures off them very soon, before for some reason mine will be gone as well.

Re: photobucket account has gone bye byes
I tried mine yesterday for the first time in about a year to post the picture of my front spolier and it is working fine.
Is there a "forgot your username of password" button?

Re: photobucket account has gone bye byes
Many pictures I've posted over the years on other hosts seem to have expired, but Photobucket has still been reliable for me. As suggested above, maybe you made an error with your user/pass.

Re: photobucket account has gone bye byes
Try contacting Photobucket. Maybe there's a mistake and it can be resolved.

Definitely worth dropping them an email (support@photobucket.com) as it does look like they had some recent issues during an "upgrade". As a cloud provider I doubt they could ever truly "lose" something, but the sooner you act, the more chance you have of recovery.

Re: photobucket account has gone bye byes
A others have said, hard to believe that a company like Photobucket won't have backups, how long they keep them for is another matter.
I just tried to look at the how-to thread for ignition lock changes and was disappointed by the sudden lack of photos - hopefully it's just a glitch on their part!

Re: photobucket account has gone bye byes
Followed the procedures from photobucket and have recovered my username but their system wont recognise it.
BUT surprise
if you go to google images and type in glasgowjim photobucket you will get all my photos + a few from other people as well.

Re: photobucket account has gone bye byes
Keep trying! (i know it's like hitting your head against a brick wall). Have they given you any explanation at all?
In the meantime, I'm going to try and grab as many of your old images as I can!

Re: photobucket account has gone bye byes
never used photo bucket, always google as a back up, my photos are on my PC and a bundle of USB in the garage sos two back-ups
I use google photos as well and I think that there are some settings so that you make the photo 'public' but maybe you need a gmail account to see the link?
OK try this link, if you can see Rutheven Barracks, we're in business
https://goo.gl/photos/hKwJTmG8HKhyWrRG6
but maybe not if it still signs you in as a gmail user
might have to consider using a way to directly insert SMALL images onto this server, the other car club forum uses 'direct' but puts a size limit of say 800 x 600 and 250kB. . . . ..

Re: photobucket account has gone bye byes
I have saved all my photos before I get locked.
To be honest the vulgar spam ads have been pushing me away for a long time so probably a good thing.

That said, sometimes it's better if the image remains on the server - Means that we've a permanent record, rather than at the whim of account hosting etc...
