Photobucket has new ownership

Free...……...

Very interesting. I can see them b/c I have the extensions installed, but I just opened IE which doesn't offer an extension, and I can still see your photos. They must have changed their policy back to what it was before the ridiculous price increase. Either that, or they think you're very special.

Dave, I deleted my Photobucket account after I setup my account on Imgur's site during this past winter so I would have to assume all of my PB photos are non-retrievable and that I'd have to start from scratch if I was to use their hosting service again.

I didn't close my account, just left it as it was & opened a new account with Imgur.

Same here.

I checked some of your old posts, unfortunately yours are all gone.

I had an old subscription account that was $25 per year.

I never renewed it after the price increase, but my pics never disappeared.

That explains a lot but it doesn't explain how I can still see your photos linked here (in IE, without the extension available for Firefox and Chrome) even though you don't have a paid plan. Including the photo of you in of your fra-gee-lay sweater that you sent me in a PM.

Thanks for the article.  All I can say is that although I have plenty of photos there, I don't ever plan to actually use or link to Photobucket again.  I downloaded just about everything I had there, and thanks to their neanderthal download process, it cost me about 4 hours of my life.

I believe never again will they attempt something like that.  I cannot believe that any credible management consultant was ever asked about his opinion on that. 'Twas a mad idea.
