Just FYI,

I went over my Bandwidth.:cursing: I didn't even think of it.
When you have an account with Photobucket keep in mind you have a maximum bandwidth that you can use per month.
Since I switched over to Photobucket from Putfile I swapped out my photos too fast which used up my bandwidth way too fast. They will be back in 2 weeks when the bandwidth resets on my account set up day of the month.

Lesson learned. I though I would share my story so no one else runs into the problem.:(

To see any photos from any user over there bandwidth, right click on the photo, goto properties, copy the link, open another tab, insert the link and view.
 
i ve never had that problem, bit i opened my pb account just after they opened, when it was all free, no limits. so i may have a grandfathered plan with mine. ive never been over bandwidth.

I think its because I switched it all over in one day?

I'm thinking no. If you uploaded all of the videos, and I'm guessing you did, that shouldn't count against your monthly allotted bandwidth. The viewing of videos over and over and over from people over the net I would think would do it. My monthly bandwidth is 25gb and so far this month only 117mb has been used (less than 1%). My storage amount is only 1gb.

How many videos do you have? Check your account options and under "account dashboard". How large are most of your videos?
 
I would have to agree there is something wrong here? I just logged back onto my photobucket account and since I posted this it jumped to 32.8gb from 24.5gb. How the heck? How did I get 86,970 hits? Anyone have any ideas, I am screwed here?:helpsmilie:

How many places do you have your videos posted online? Is it just LSF? That is a lot of hits.

Go to Google and do a search on your photobucket user name. See how many different forums pop up with your videos and pictures. You'll probably find that your vids are linked in places you didn't expect.

Also, do you have the ones you don't want people to see (your private pics/videos) in separate albums that are blocked from users?
