I went to use my photobucket account today and I got a lovely little message telling me to disable my adblocker or else. I am unable to log into my account and I can't even access my photos. I guess not enough people are paying for their stupid premium plans so they've resorted to locking down the accounts of long-time users until we agree to display their malware-serving, browser-freezing deluge of ads. Whatever. Hilariously enough, even when I whitelisted them just to access my content, they're STILL giving me the "turn off adblock or else" message.
I've already given a long list of reasons in other threads for why I block ads, and I refuse to uninstall my adblocking software because i consider it a security essential.
If I can get my pictures and download them, I need to find another photo hosting service that isn't run by a bunch of greedy, knuckle-dragging morons.

just sigh

Wow, they're aren't just satisfied with a whitelist? Normally adding a site to the whitelist would be enough to not trigger the adblocker prompts.

Yeah I too would think that whitelisting them would be enough. If you PM me a link to your Photobucket, I can see if there’s anything I can do. I’m pretty good at figuring out ways around Photobucket’s greed, so maybe I can help you with your pics.

It's 2018, use imgur

^ Agreed. Photobucket is so 2008. PostIMG is another good one (even though they did give us a bit of a headache with their domain issue).

I'm not gonna worry about messing with the uploaded images. I've got them backed up on my hard drive and I don't want t have to go through the hassle of relocating them or having to post all new links. Any future images will be uploaded to a different website.
