Hi,
Just had an email come through from Photobucket saying
" some features on your account will be disabled," because
" We have noticed that you have been using Photobucket for 3RD party hosting"
The last time I used photobucket was when I posted a photo of Megan on her Gotcha Day in April.
Just wonder if any of you have received an email like this? they say I should upgrade to Plus 500,
is this a ply to get any cash?

I had a similar email.
I only used photobucket to upload to COL, and I can now upload via Tapatalk on my mobile (I think), so certainly won't be paying them anything....

I guess it may well mean a lot of older photos disappear from the forum over time.... seems to me Photobucket is shooting itself in the foot, though.... I suspect there will be very few people willing to pay photobucket now that most people can store photos on phones and in various clouds, and can more easily upload photos to forums....

I cancelled my photobucket last week and now use the Imgbb as recommended on here. The photos are lost but I only used it for this forum anyway. Imgbb is also free and I find it simpler to use.

I had the same message too. I rarely use Photobucket now, so I think I'm going to make sure I have those photos elsewhere and then close my Photobucket account. I certainly won't be paying for it!

Thanks  for your input, guess it's that old greed coming out again, will try Imgbb,
going to see how I can save my photos that are on photobucket
