Title: Photobucket - Picture hosting disaster.
Post by: sgould on 30 June 2017, 11:15:19 AM
From today, photobucket have ceased their free service for linking to pictures.  It has become a paid service without any warning.  So most of the pictures that I have linked to are now inaccessible to anyone else.  This includes pictures in older posts.

I am seeking alternatives.

Great - most of my pics are via Photobucket!

Thanks for the heads-up - wasn't aware..

My Photobucket account is now deleted.  They have given me 7 days to change my mind.  No chance.

Mine's still working at the moment. They've not sent any notification to me as yet. Says $9.99 per month on the pop-up - not paying that for about 100 photos!

Imgur?  Flickr?   Free (at the moment)...

I'll check those out - I had found them but hadn't heard of them before. Just making sure I don't choose a dodgy site!
