So I was getting tired to getting the irritating "Bandwidth Exceeded Upgrade to Pro Today" message when posting a pic if it got viewed too many times and upgraded to Photobucket Pro.. it's cheap like less than $2 a month. But the pics still have that message on them?



Anyone else ever experience this or know the fix?



So far I have cleared out cache and cookies and sent some hate-mail to PB Pro support.

Are you using one or more of your images hosted by PB as a background image for a blog or social website?  (FB, Twitter etc).

I have pro, and never got any bandwidth messages.

Never had that happen. Even when I used to post gif threads in BOTD where I was pushing 3-400 gigs/month.

Clear cache? Maybe the images are posting, but you got the bandwidth exceeded .jpg's stuck in your browser.

I ask because you problem is classic for folks in that situation.  Pre "Pro" status  image code is being used as a background image.

That's the last thing I said up top... even went and looked on a 2nd laptop and still the same.

I even tried totally deleting the old links and then reposting after Pro took effect.  No idea but very irritating.

Maybe there is a period before the account will take full pro permissions?

You are probably right... looks there are multiple folks that have experienced this from what I have found on Google.  Response from PB pro says within 24 hrs you'll get a reply. Oh boy.
