If there was a way that thesamba could prevent people from using photobucket from sales ads, that would be great. I am sure it cannot be done though.

So can we at least have a suggestion that when people list a car for sale NOT to put links to photobucket for more pictures? Use ANYTHING else.

Photobucket has so many crappy pop-up ads and spam it makes it difficult to get through the pictures.

Just a suggestion. I am sure potential buyers would appreciate it.

Good luck with that. You'll not stop people using Photobucket in the classifieds or in the forums...you just have to point out the downsides...and hope. Confused

Agree - this would be hard to enforce.

I don't like to tell people to use an ad blocker* since ads help pay for the site but I use one.
I block all sites and then selectively unblock the sites I want to support and the ones that do not have insane popup or other ads.
This includes this site and only a few others.


* I use AdBlock Plus, there are others too
