PhotoBucket-Slightly Off Topic

[joereeves]

Many of us members use Photobucket to store photos in order to have them inserted in various forums of The Marine Engine site. I have also used it for eBay purposes.

Originally I used the "Free" portion of Photobucket but some years back signed up for the annual $25 Plus20 program. I haven't been active with the photo transferring thing due to a bout with cancer but am past that now, planning to re-enter the eBay & forum photo thing.

Recently I have been contacted by Photobucket various times and advised that they are doing away with the program I use... BUT... another program is available that I can transfer over to for approximately $100 annually. That amount is not going to break me but I really have no use for a program whereas I can store 350,000 photos... don't need storage anywhere near that.

I asked if their "Free" program would still be available but received no reply to that question.

Also, Photobucket advises anyone that has a automatic payment setup to go into their account and cancel that agreement.... I find it impossible to follow their instructions to do so for some reason.

Question: Are there other sites available to store photos for the reason I state?

Joe, I went through the whole ordeal with pb too. I am using Imgur now for photo hosting. Free, and have been very satisfied. Google "Imgur" for info.

Many thanks fellows, I jotted all those suggestions down and will certainly look into them. Much appreciated.

My "Plus20" ($25 Annually) doesn't expire until around July 12... and I did receive a reply from Photobucket a few days ago that advised me that my plan will revert to the free one when "Plus20" expires but I will lose all the frills. Actually Photobucket's new plan is roughly $8.35 per month which isn't bad but I simply don't need a plan that large.
