Well i made a photobucket account in february but never used until a week ago. Apparently ive used only 80mb as storage.But i already burnt through my monthly 25gb quota. How the **** did that happen? In a week? Well i did post close to a 100 pics here in a YLYL thread. Could that be it? But even so, how could 25gb burn through so quickly.

In my account tab it shows

Member Since 02/25/2008
Total pictures and videos-347
Monthly hits-166940 (how did i get that many hits in less than a week? Do so many people view the YLYL threads?)

Album size-79mb out of 1gb.(Thats it!)

monthly bandwith 25.6gb out of 25.6gb!!!

So i was wondering since I cant use photobucket for the rest of the month anymore,if there is any better website for image uploading? hows flickr?

Anyone else ever faced this problem? Im just shocked at how fast i finish my bandwith with such a tiny storage folder(79mb)

Any advice as to what i should do next time? Even my signature isnt displaying anymore for christs sake.

If you're posting alot of those pictures here you might as well use gamepots uploading thingy in your profile, i havn't reached any limits with that and i've had some pretty large sigs over 1mb.

I used Photobucket for a long time, I've never had a problem with the bandwidth limit except when a whole bunch of people decided to hotlink to a couple of my pictures instead of hosting it themselves, so you may want to check to see if someone is doing the same to you. I also registered a second account to use as a backup incase this happens again.

I think Photobucket sucks; your sig is my reasoning... I use imageshack.us or hostanyimage.com ....

How do i know is someone is doing that to me? For example i just deleted all my YLYL posts because now they just display that photobucket "bandwith exceeded pic" . What do i do about the people who quoted my entire post? it all gets linked back to my account right?

I dont like using it mainly because you have to choose the so many tabs before you upload each pic. Also have to name it or describe it. PLus for somereason when ive tried uploading gif files they dont seem to work .

I've used PhotoBucket and have had no problems with it. My only miff is it doesn't allow .swf files for free accounts. That's why I also have an image shack account, even though I haven't even used it yet.:P

I use Photobucket for anything I want to save, but Image Shack for little pictures I don't want to keep.
