I cannot get any links to open in Photobucket website except Finnegan's page below.
https://app.photobucket.com/u/lgoltzm/u/lgoltz

The rest say "Album is Empty" or "Page Not Found"

See all the other photobucket pages here with our members personal websites and let me know what you see.

Am I missing something?
Thanks.

Same results here.

Photobucket lost its usefulness a few years ago when it went full pop-up crazy.

See this article from last year.

I guess Finnegan is the only one to update their Photobucket account.

Apparently I am going to have to remove all those members personal websites that no longer work and that includes most all of those Photobucket sites unfortunately and there are many of those.

I will start later on this week unless I hear from others that work properly.

So, for all members with a photobucket page, please either fix it or we will need to remove the non working link in your profile.
Bummer.

Unfortunately we needed to discontinue the Members Personal Website page due to Photobucket restrictions along with other FREE Hosting sites that have quit in the past. Just got to be too much work trying to keep up with all those bad links etc.
I can't even remember how many FREE photo hosting sites have quit in the last 20 years.
Too many to even list.

On Whaler Central, your photos in your personal page, will be here until you remove them or, we close our doors for some reason in the future.
