I don't know what business model Photofucket were following when they began but what they've done now is to turn the world of specialist forums on its head as many of us have used it exclusively for years.

Like Ron, I've posted more help than queries and have shared information and photos from my collection with the wider community. The question is, How much would I be prepared to pay in order to continue with that ? Something in single figures per month probably but certainly not US$400 per year.

I fear that this will hasten the end of decent forums and increase the flight to Arse-about-facebook where photo hosting is a click of the mouse away.

I can't put pictures on photobucket now in any case, it says I'm using the wrong sort, but they are just jpegs as specified.

It says I'm at 21% capacity and it hasn't demanded any money yet, but whatever happens I won't loose the pictures as I have them saved on my computer.

Me too Rob. All my Photobucket pictures are in other folders on my computer. But it's as I feared today they've deleted all the pictures I ever posted on here. Ron
