Title: Photo Hosting Kaput
Post by: JW Mills on July 26, 2017, 06:25:25 PM

I just noticed that my old posts containing photos now show a message asking me to update my account. Well it seems Photobucket has decided to change how they operate and now are charging a fee to use their site for what they call 3rd party hosting. Needless to say I'm not interested in their new plan as I no longer post photos to other forums and post to this one only sparingly.
I've been using Photobucket only because I started with them years ago and couldn't be bothered changing to another site. So I will be closing my Photobucket account and may or may not open an account elsewhere for the purpose of sharing my photos.

I use Flickr which is has a free option, have been using it since 2007. There is a Pro version but no big deal for what you get extra so select the free option.
