Is there any point in using Photobucket or is it just me lately I find after logging on I get bombarded with 'adds' I cant kill them fast enough it's like space invaders ! It seems if I pay I can make the adds go away !!!

$30 a year will make them go away and it is far quicker.

However they have recently changed their terms and unless you pay a lot more you won't be able to place your images within a thread like you did previously so may be worth looking elsewhere

Same here its been going on since last year, mines unusable as a paying subscriber.

Had two emails last week wanting me to upgrade to 500+ as they think I am 3rd party hosting and would get ad free etc. It don't help with not being able to open any of my piccies logged in or not on IE.
Other email stated certain services will be stopped and my piccies will be phased out over next 3 months.
Beauty of photobucket is you can upload videos.

If its just piccies pay the $20 per year and use picturetrail. Been with them around 15 years, photobucket used for additional stuff to keep bandwidth down on picturetrail.

There are many others but don't get on with dropbox and free image hosting.
Your ISP may have storage on cloud and allow you bandwidth? Mine just dumps all over the place cant find a thing, unusable.

Last few evenings I've been retrieving my (100s) images and replacing the links in my other Forum's Threads.

Fortunately, the Forums are up-to-date modern versions and allow 'Supporter Status' with no Ads and unlimited storage.. The Moderators gave me temporary 'Edit Status' to carry out the work.

I'm glad to be able to dump them, as I've grown tired of their grossly unresponsive Website for many years.

So you could say I was 'Pushed' to leave, but would have Jumped eventually.

Regards
