Hello,

I use photobucket, and recently, all my pictures crashed. My account/pictures all say bandwidth exceeded. What does that mean, and how do I fix it?

Thank you! (Sorry if it's a stupid question, but I honestly don't know...)

It means you exceeded your bandwith.

...


XD.

Nah, but if it's photobucket, I'm pretty sure it means you posted your picture(s) at too many places or whatever and so the amount of people loading it (and using up pb's bandwith) increased, and went over the limit assigned to a single peron (i.e. you).
Not sure if that made much sense, so I'll try to rephrase,
PB limits the amount the pic can be viewed/downloaded/"transferred" (this uses bandwidth - and you went over the amount set for whatever user-type you have).
If you get a premium account with more bandwith, problem solved. Or maybe delete some images :}


Probably that. xD.

Ah, okay. Thank you for explaining! (I thought it was irriversible or something. I lost my avatar, my siggies, and my posters and CCs, lol. It wasn't cool...)

basically linking your images don't really have anything to do it. nor does how many images you upload. (techincally yeah it does, BUT photobucket gives you enoguh space for all ur images) --> it's the amount of VIEWING of that link that causes more "activity" which increases or gets to the MAX bandwidth that that give you. (ie. you have a beautiful image on a website or on soompi's selling thread.. and people are clicking onto that page 100 times a day..) each view increases the bandwith for that page/image.

and that's why i pay for it per year =) it's cheap enough and you don't ever have to worry about pics crashing. and they don't crash permanently if you didn't know.. photobucket, during your NEXT month will start at a clean fresh slate with your bandwidth (since it's per month).. so they'll work after the previous month is over....

just payyyy =) and save yourself stress.

either pay or switch to imageshack (:
i use imageshack with a breeze and i don't
get bandwidth. lol.

[zhuuzhuusoba]

Lol, I would pay, but I don't have a paypal account (or a credit card). Thank you for explaining it so well, though, xx_swit_c_xx.

And I think I may use imageshack...
