You Bet...and we can't let it just fizzle away!!! I hope that if enough of us continue to pressure them, they will at least reverse their decision for existing pics!! |

Here is what I told them: I hope everybody affected by this very loooooooong "bait and switch" contacts their state attorney general and fills out the online complaint form for their state as I am about to do ... |

It's really unclear to me what happened to Photobucket. There are some indications that they may have been hacked. Ransomware. I don't know what to believe. Facebook indicates that some people who have never used Photobucket are seeing the image we are all seeing on this BCAW site when they have accessed E-Bay or their business accounts. I always received security messages using Photobucket and felt some of their ads were unsafe. I never opened them. Ransomware can lurk within ads. The site was probably never very safe to begin with. Photoimage has been a breeze to use so far, but they assign a password if you create an account. It is long and I will never remember it. I will always need to refer to it at log-in, but the lack of ads and upload speeds are pure joy. This photo site was designed for forums and it shows. |

Dang!! There it is...I wonder how long it will stay? If it stays, then that might be an answer as to why some accounts aren't yet affected. I post a ton of pics from my regular account and very few from this one...which was set up in 2011!! hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm |

Mainly because my own forum(s) have gone. Because those forums are gone, all the pictures posted there, including the images I used for the forum styles, no longer need bandwidth to be displayed. I deleted the folder with all the images specifically for the forum style. It could all add up to low usage and therefor my account(s) are still working as intended. |

Thanks...we'll see how long it lasts... I had to risk posting to my old account as some of my newer accounts (flickr, etc.) do not provide the correct URL that the forum software can "read"...I'll have to save that problem solving research for another day!! (we may have daisies all the way through winter at this point..LOL) |

(At the host's server this forum is on I mean) That way at least the forum lay out can not be disrupted again because of a problem at a third party image host. It would go to this folder

I've already stored all the banners/extra smilies on the server (thank goodness)...that's why this PB issue isn't affecting them...I just haven't gotten around to figuring out which folder the background jpegs need to go in...not to mention, banners are an easy access in the admin panel. when I change the backgrounds I do so manually via stylesheet code . |

Looks like Photobucket finally wiped out all my prior pics today. Up to today, I hadn't been affected and all my pics were showing on BCAW. I have not logged into PB since this whole fiasco started. I suppose PB will eventually get to everyone that doesn't have the Plus Account with them. It's just a matter of time as they work through all the accounts. |

It's just a matter of time as they work through all the accounts. I never log out but I still have to log in and the page looks really wonky when I open it. I keep my PB page minimized on my computer because it seems I have to log in all the time. I have been switching out photos with a different photo sharing site and need the PB pics. |
