I guess in our busy lives we don't realize how fast time flies. My dad dad reminded me that this website has been online for two years today, so Happy Birthday Photobucket! Its always fun to look back and see how far we've come.
I feel that the best is still to come as we have many exciting things coming over the next year. Many image hosting and online photo album sites have come and gone over the last few years. However, I can assure you that we aren't going anywhere!
Thanks to all of our members that have suppported us through the years.

First of all, congratulations on your two year anniversary! Second, we appreciate your being here. It has made it so much easier for me to share photos with friends and family and I'm thankful for that. A little inconvenience every once in a while is well worth it for the services we receive free from you every day. Thanks again and keep up the good work!

Hey, Photobucket, congrats on your 2nd year. I must say, though I'm a new Prenium user, I'm begining to love this photo hosting site. It's fast, easy and most importantly, extrememly affordable and cheap!
I was thinking if it would b better if you can include some web templates to beautify our album? Or perhaps we can include our very own HTML codings? I don't know if it would b possible but it's just my suggestion..
All in all, a VERY BIG thank you to Photobucket that my images can find a PERMANENT home on the web... COntinue growing and all the best!

Hello,
I've been displaying the same link button in my journal for a couple of months now and was wondering if there were any other "official" ones that I can use. Thanks

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Photobucket.

I actually have a question about something. I use Xanga(Xanga.com), and I use your site, to upload my pictures, and post them on my xanga site. But just recently, when I go to post the pictures that I have uploaded, they say 'bandwidth exceeded' If you would email, and let me know if somethings wrong, or something, that would be great. Thanks

In regards to this I was HIGHLY upset that your site was down for an ENTIRE weekend. Unfortunately I entrusted the photos for several E-Bay auctions to your site. These particular auctions ended that weekend (last weekend). And I found myself scrambling in an attempt to find another photo hosting service to save the auctions. Unfortunately with E-Bay, if an auction was already bid on you can not revise a photo...and I had to place a text message on the auction directing posible bidders to my photo albums on Picturetrail. I know that I lost potential bids due to your site being down. Actually if I could find a way to get my $20.00 back form you I would as I will not be using your site again over this as I feel it can not be trusted. For cripes sake!! I work closely with MIS and Development as a QA analyst for a major testing firm. If our systems were down for an hour much less several days there would be Hades to pay!!!!!
I am severly dissapointed...
