OT: Photobucket 'too many views'?

Hi all,
Has anyone else had their Photobucket account tell them that they have to pay for Pro so people can see the photos they have posted in the past? I'm rather miffed, since it is such a pain to upload them in the first place to post here. I realize I can open a new account, but all of the links from before seem to be broken. This feels like blackmail to me.

Which photo-sharing service do you use?

I use Photobucket and have never heard of this before. I'll be very miffed too if they're changing their policies.

Did you get it in an email? Make sure it isn't a SPAM email - I've gotten a few saying they were from photo bucket that were not.

I paid the 20 bucks or whatever it was for 2 years. no ads, unlimited storage, unlimited views, no max size on photos. cheap.

I have learned that if your make your album private only the one photo you linked to will show up.

Usually, the over limit shows up as one clicks on the photo you intended to show and then clicks to view your whole album of past photos.

HTH.

I suggest you bypass Photobucket altogether and upload your lovely (and even not so lovely) pictures to HMF where they will be available with a simple link and available to more rose enthusiasts than just the ones here at GW.

Picasa is easy and free and has no such limits. Photobucket's days are limited if they persist with that "now pay me" policy. Switch now.
