Looking on this forum today I notice that there are few peoples pictures that have been removed and replaced with some upgrade notice from Photobucket.
There was a topic I read a few days ago on another forum about the same issue and it now looks like photo bucket are not letting people use their photos on 3rd party sites unless they upgrade their account (which costs $400 a year in the US). I think it's something to do with exceeding your bandwidth or some such nonsense and I think it's pretty bad if this is happening to peoples photo collections. I'm not a part of Photobucket or any of those sort of sites but would like to set one up at some point. From all I've ever read about Photobucket it sounds a bit of a nightmare with their pop up ads and with this dodgy move from them I've no intention of going anywhere near them now.
Hope people who do use them can sort something out but with other hosting sits being so cheap in comparison, maybe this could be the beginning of the end for them?
