Photobucket Bandwidth Exceeded! I Need Your Help!
Finally, it happened. Yes, it happened as I predicted.
Recently, you have seen the dreaded image “Bandwidth Exceeded” in place of your images (and my images, of course). The Photobucket site which hosts my images have informed me that the download traffic for my online material has exceeded the bandwidth allocated to each free user (25GB of traffic each month). While its embarrassing, the silver lining is that traffic on my site (and yours) have been growing exponentially resulting in a need for me to go with a higher bandwidth account (pro account).
I’m providing my blogger templates for free. Yes, it is totally free. So, if you find they cool, helpful, inspiring, or whatsoever, I guess it’ll be a pleasure to donate me some money so that I could buy a Pro account on Photobucket. The current price is $3.95/month or $39.95/year.
Please click on the button below to donate the money via Paypal: you don’t even need a PayPal account! Via PayPal you can donate money using most major credit cards (PayPal will not disclose your credit card information to us) or from your PayPal account, if you have one.
I am sincerely grateful and thankful for the support of my regular readers.

I find it hard to believe that you haven’t made $40 from advertising on this site. No one wants to pay because this was your bad decision to use PhotoBucket and not another host. Advertising is placed on sites to gain revenue for things like this.
It’s great that you made the template free but there are hundreds of other sites that do the same thing and don’t have this issue. Unless you fix this soon, I will be changing my template on InfomercialAddict.com and will never use your services again and will be sure to spread the word that people should stay away from your templates.
Thats harsh…all you need to is to upload your own images(I do that whenever I switch to a new template)
you can always switch themes nobody is forcing you to use anything
Wow, I think Dj RyB is out of line. I would of told him to them to f… off. You are helping others out and they come with a comment like that. That was so uncalled for.
Out of line or not, the DJ has his reasons. The template’s still crashed so I was forced to change my one temporarily.
I’ll continue to keep myself up-to-date with the situation, but I think the “policy” of the author’s not very wise. I think the public image of his work and his site is worthier than 35$.
I agree that this is a very harsh comment and the threat to discontinue and bad mouth is a bit unpalatable, but let us face it. He has got a point.
then don’t use the themes if you are just going to complain!
I would say that exceeding your bandwidth is a good thing too. It is kind of like exceeding the FDIC savings limit of $250k. Okay, maybe not quite so exciting, but still not an entirely bad thing.
Well it certainly isn’t as big a deal as some have apparently made it out to be.
Wow, why don’t you invest in a better host, that provides unlimited hosting space?
participated in sorrow, friend.. I hope that this problem overcame soon.. now, I haven’t any idea
Yes, my website was full of those boxes. I forgot I was linking the images directly from your photobucket site. I now use imgboot to host my images.
Kai Lo, how it’s made if it’s not a secret?
How are the donations coming in now? I hope you find more sustainable solutions too.
i dealt with that problem too.
quite easy. why don’t make a second account?
My friend and I are rather disappointed that there has been no response for the donation sent. I had to assuage my friend that you must be up to your neck with work and will sooner or later acknowledge. I hope that you do soon.
just host the images instead.. don’t ask themlib about this problem
if these people cant stop complaining and fix this them selves or pony up some cash they don’t deserve the themes.
I guess you are already making enough money to afford for that purchase, aren’t you ?
Can’t you just use Google’s Picasa or whatever it is called?
That’s quite a high bandwidth size, but you must have a lot of traffic. Have you optimized the file sizes of your images to use minimal space?
You can find many free image hoster,did you have a look on google ?
You don’t have to use Photobucket as a host site.
I agree. There are so many websites that offer free unlimited photo hosting.
I would recommend you to host your images on a free host like agilityhoster or 110mb or another with an unlimited bandwidth.
