Xcitdcruiser Posted April 5, 2014 #1 Share Posted April 5, 2014 HI! I was hoping someone can help me - I've started a detailed review with pic's - after a bit of googling i went ahead with Photobucket to host my images. Now it's saying i've exceeded the bandwidth & none of my pics can be seen! (& unable to post any more :eek: I went to increase the bandwidth but its a set cost per month - ongoing. I figure it i stop paying the amount my pictures in the review will go missing again? Can anyone help?? Happy to provide my username & p/word to photobucket! Would really appreciate it...

Rare Turtles06 Posted April 5, 2014 #2 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Hmm, not sure what they mean here by bandwidth. They have storage limits. I have a lot of images uploaded to Photobucket's free site and haven't come close to using my storage limit. Are you uploading huge megapixel files? I generally reduce the size of the images I upload, since the images are only going to be viewed on the Internet. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Xcitdcruiser Posted April 5, 2014 Author #3 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Size...... not sure. I'll jump in & half the size of a few to see if that makes a difference. As my luck would have it the pictures within photobucket aren't loading -making it very difficult to edit it :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poffles Posted April 5, 2014 #4 Share Posted April 5, 2014 This this will explain the issue. http://support.photobucket.com/hc/en-us/articles/200724504-What-does-Bandwidth-Exceeded-mean- Looks like it's a monthly dynamic measure and will reset the usage to 0 again each month, the alternative is to upgrade. I use Photobucket myself and didn't realize there was a limit like this, sucks. You could always post a link to all your photos for now for everyone to go directly there to view. Loses the affect of them being in the review though :( and it's such a good review. Too good it would seem :eek: Posted this on your other thread too.

I was in such a state that i never thought that the Photobucket website itself could provide some answers :/ I've decided to go ahead & upgrade. What good is a photo review with no photos?? The second thing is that my images are too big. I played around & adjusted some random ones to 1/2 its size, but this means the dallies are too small to read so ill play around with what is legible. I'll go back & adjust all posted so that i don't have this problem again. I'll keep my premium account at least until i finsh the review which is when ppl would view it the most. If i notice the readers reduce i'll cancel the subscription - together with the smaller images & monthly re-set it shouldn't be an issue. Really appreciate you taking the time to help out - i'm home most of the day today & intend on posting some more! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare markeb Posted April 6, 2014 #6 Share Posted April 6, 2014 It's the one drawback to Photobucket. There's a monthly bandwidth limit, and popular, photo intensive posts on sites like this will kill you. I upgraded to pro years ago for that reason. I think all the sites have some sort of limit; Photobucket's fees aren't too bad, fortunately... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoyed reading your posts on the Ausralian/NZ board. Your pics are amazing - i was hoping you may be able to help me as I'm having trouble. Many thanks! Appreciate the above comment from Xcitdcruiser on my live/blog. It seems that the above comments and summary by the Northern Virginia poster would be about what I would share' date=' also. I did the Pro upgrade as I have lots of pictures posted on these boards. Needed the added room and flexibility. We got off of the Celebrity Solstice in February. Check out these postings for more info/background on this nice ship, its entertainment, food options, these exciting ports, etc. Yes, we super loved your homeland, plus NZ and Hawaii. Great trip. THANKS! Enjoy! Terry in Ohio[/font'] Just back from doing a 14-day Celebrity Solstice, Jan. 20-Feb. 3, 2014, Sydney to Auckland adventure on this ship and getting a big sampling for the wonders of "down under” before and after this cruise. Go to: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=1974139 for much more information and lots of wonderful pictures on these amazing sights in this great part of the world.

MDSue Posted April 6, 2014 #8 Share Posted April 6, 2014 The same thing happened to me right smack in the middle of a live review. I had no choice but to pay up if I wanted my pics to come back and post more. Between paying for expensive Internet minutes on the ship and paying Photobucket, it was a pricy review!
