Does anybody here that uses Photobucket pay to use the ad free version? If so is it any better?
Cheers in advance.
Martin,
I guess it all depends on what you use it for. I only use Photobucket to store pictures that I want to include in forum posts.
You are right about the ads, pop up windows, flash videos, being a huge pain. But since I just mainly log on to upload photos, once I get my photo URL, I don't go worry about going back in there until I need to put another picture in there.
Photobucket has always been very liberal on the bandwidth they allow users for free, so I have never had an issue with my pictures not displaying because of excessive views.
So for my use needs, I would never pay for something that I can get for free.
Now if you have a more professional need or application for the pictures that you store there, then it might be worth the price. I can't really say.
