Title: Photobucket unlimited storage
Post by: Petrie. on June 02, 2011, 09:43:09 PM

I don't see how anyone can offer unlimited storage, but I logged in today to check on a avatar for another forum and photobucket says I now have unlimited storage for free because I'm a fanatic of photobucket.

Huh?  :huh:  :huh:

Since when was I a power user?

But anyhow....I can't be the only one...how many here have this new "unlimited" account?

Yep... same here. Odd. XD I've had my normal account for around six years but yeah... I wouldn't consider myself a power user either.

If it's really true, I should try uploading the near 1,000 photos I took on my Eurotrip last year. Would be a convenient place to store them and an interesting way to test this "unlimited" account. XD

It will be interesting to see if it is a permanent thing or a temporary one that they'll do something later with.

^ Funny you say that, Pterano...my account is pretty old too...six years and about four months.  They say they've removed restrictions on all free users.

I've noticed this too. It said I can upload unlimited images and 500 videos. But when I click on a video to upload it, the upload doesn't start. The videos I want to upload are all 1 gb or less (anywhere from 986 to 450 MBs). Only videos I can upload are a few seconds long, and those were scraps for videos I was making.
