PhotoBucket Update
I just discovered this, so I know very little. I only know that a lot of my images are replaced with an image stating:
3rd Party Hosting Has Been Temporarily Disabled.
To Unlock Your Account Visit:
PhotoBucket.com/p500
I don't know if this means I have to pay a fee or what. If I do have to pay a fee, I'll probably just delete my boards instead.

Re: PhotoBucket Update
What in the ever #&%@ing #&%@?
No. Just, no. We have been recommending them for years, and now they're wanting how much for an account that allows hotlinking? Are they #&%@ing serious? Anyone could buy their own hosting for a tiny fraction of that cost. What are they even thinking?

Re: PhotoBucket Update
PhotoBucket Terms of Service, updated June 28
Looks like we need to find another image hosting solution.

Re: PhotoBucket Update
It is _so_ going to be a major pain in the rear end.

Re: PhotoBucket Update
Well, thanks, Photobucket.
They'll be surprised how many users they'll lose.
I even tried to order a print of one of my own pictures with them. It was impossible. So they fail.

There is confusing and contradictory information concerning the sites free trial service. In one month we will see what the truth is...

Re: PhotoBucket Update
I wonder how much it would cost to share Amazon server space? Make it so that only some people can upload there, maybe?

Re: PhotoBucket Update
I'm gonna try and download all my albums. Hopefully, I haven't lost any images.
