    Thank goodness!

    Maybe the cache can be varnished quicker now with all the sig pictures gone.

    Yes, I received the email today after reading about the change on another forum. I guess I will not be using it in the future, but here are the plans and fees:

    Types of Accounts, Pricing and Limits

    Visiting : There is no cost to visit the Site or to register as a Member.
    Free account : Each individual Member gets one free account that provides 2 GB of free storage or space available for your original photo files, or videos under 10min. The free account does not allow any image linking or 3rd party image hosting. If a free account Member exceeds their Content Limit, their account will be immediately suspended and they will need to become a “Paying Member” (defined below) in order to continue accessing their account. You can upgrade to a Plus account at any time.
    Ad-free Account : The Ad-free Account offers Members the ability to use the Site without seeing any third party banner advertisements when logged into your Ad-free Account (note, viewers of your images within Photobucket will see ads unless they, too, have Plus accounts and you will continue to see Photobucket offers and announcements). This account level is available for $2.49 / month, payable by the Member on a monthly recurring basis.
    Plus Account : The Plus Account offers several paid options that may give the Paying Member more storage, bandwidth, 3rd party image hosting, image linking and/or other services as outlined below. Once and during such period of time in which you subscribe to and pay for a Plus Account, we will consider you a "Paying Member." Please note that all Plus Account subscriptions are billed annually at the commencement of the service. Photobucket may also offer a monthly billing option for its Plus Accounts (see terms and restrictions, below).
    Available Plus Account Plans : Photobucket offers the following Plus Account Plans:
    o Plus 50 Plan: 52 GB of Storage for $59.99 / Year. The Plus 50 Plan does not allow any image linking or 3rd party image hosting.

    o Plus 100 Plan: 102 GB of Storage for $99.99 / Year. The Plus 100 Plan allows for unlimited image linking but does not allow 3rd party image hosting.

    o Plus 500 Plan: 500 GB of Storage and unlimited bandwidth for $399.99 / Year. The Plus 500 Plan allows for unlimited image linking and unlimited 3rd party image hosting.

    Find a new free photo site, or just start a new account -- Photobucket still offers a free service.

    For what it's worth, I host my photos at pbase.com, a competing pay site....but I have plans to host them myself in the future (once I get the new NAS configured).

    Because for a few hundred dollars you can get a NAS and not pay anyone (outside your high speed internet). As long as you don't get a large number of hits, nobody should be the wiser....and you'll save a lot of money if you have as many photos as I do.

    Hope this helps...Mike

    I would too, but it wants a URL when posting a signature.

    I have a bunch of storage space with my domain names, so I make my own albums using JAlbum.net, and upload to my GoDaddy server.

    Google photos for me. 100GB $3/month
    Posting an image as an external link is a little harder to do though. For that I upload to my website.

    PIZZ on photobucket. Every time I logged on it was pain the **** to get to my pics having to wade through ads galore. Screw em, I deleted it from my pc. Most sites I visit now allow you to drop and drag photos from your own PC and skip this other crap. They go into extinction like say "My space", yeah, good riddance.

    Never had an issue with PB. Always east to upload and view my pics. Simple but not now.

    I deleted my PB account. I normally use my own web domain server to host my photos anyway.

    Flickr is still free, and relatively easy to use. From what I recall you get 1TB of space.
