    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • This forum is for placing reviews for parts, accessories, gear and service as it relates to your GS motorcycle. The key here is "GS Related". There is a bit of latitude here but we don't want to see a review on Maytag washers just because that's what you use to clean your riding jacket in.

    Keep your review as factual as possible and please refrain from personal attacks. Posted articles will be reviewed by the Editors and may be removed at their discretion.

    So let's make this a useful addition to the forum! A special pat on the back goes to Hap Call for coming up with this great idea.

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Photo Bucket attempt to redeem themselves, renewal deadline Nov 30th 2018

I needed to find an old photo today so I logged into my Photo Bucket account, well it seems they have tried to redeem themselves from the big mess they made by unlinking everyone photos who did not have a paid account.

The offer that popped up was a lot more reasonable than the $400 a year ransom they wanted back when all they first started unlinking photos.

Well today I gave them another chance and renewed my membership, $48.38 US$ year for an unlimited account (1TB), the offer was good till Nov 30th and the amount is locked in forever at that rate.

The regular price for an unlimited account shows $123.96 per year if paid in advance.

I never thought I would pay them a penny after the grief they caused, but I guess i'm getting soft in my old age.

Well if anyone else wants back in, now's the time and if not that's OK too.

I just auto-renewed this month...$59.99 for the year.

I didn't go through that situation people have discussed because I was already paying them annual fee; I did not like the pop-ups.

I have been with them for 6 years or so and when the whole price gouging began I was already paying $2.99 a month ... I have continued to pay that and I have never had my disrupted. Weird
 
Makes you wonder if it's changed ownership... or maybe the crazy $400 was just a tactic to make everyone feel relief at the $4.... Either way I don't like what they did :(
 
No thanks! They totally screwed up multiple forums I belong to. There will be no forgiveness....

ImageShack is very reasonable at $3.99 a month, and Flickr is still a great option.

Photobucket did screw us over. I see no need to go back.

I feel the same....
 
I still upload to photobucket, still haven't paid a dime.
 
Flickr is going to be charging at the first of the year as well. Totally closed PB, and to avoid having to hassle with my pictures again, I'll pay the Flickr rate. I can't remember what it is.
 
Google photos is free and unlimited if you choose the mild compression option.

I tried using google photos but could not figure out how to link photos. I would link the photos in a post here but only I could see them and only when I was logged into my google account. I liked the interface, just could not get it to work. I now use Imgur. It's free and actually has some useful editing tools.

Lucky you, it appears you don’t have the photo bucket watermark on your pictures either

To tell you the truth I hadn't looked yet. I had thought about looking through my old threads to see if they were watermarked, just never got around to it.


I really do feel it's a result of their get 10Gb?? hosting space when you signed up for their mobile app. I still use it to upload my pictures. It's a case of don't rock the boat.
