Sounds like they’re doing something that will piss off their paying customers. I’ve always found them a hassle to use, and they have popups that get around my blockers too. There are better image hosting sites out there, but a pain in the ass to move if you have tons of stuff.
Aye, I think the ‘DVD Covers, Disc Labels, and Other Fan Artwork’ section of the ot.com will take a big hit from photobucket being very very annoying on this - lots of ‘3rd party linking’ in there.
It took me most of an evening to re-link most of my covers (thankfully I don’t have that many) - and links to others - and there’s still a fair few I’ve likely missed.
And the amount of adverts now popping up intrusively is very annoying too. Can’t see them surviving or doing well from this new ‘business model’ for very long…
Hopefully imgur will be ok/decent for picture hosting for a long long time to come… 😉
