I have been noticing some members avatars are now faded..
Daniel, pique, WTG...wondering if you need to update your the hosting site?

Do any of us need to do the same?

It shows up, but it's fuzzy.

Yes, some of them are blurry. Pique', wtg, Cindy. Mary Anna et al. But not all. Maybe just the ones from the library available from WTF?

Naw, it’s just Photobucket. They think pissing off their customers is good business

Yep. As I said, I deleted every singe image from my bucket and they are still sending me 'you are over your storage limit - give us money' emails. Sending them to spam.

Pique, yours shows up blurry with a photobucket logo over the top, so it must be stored through them somehow? Does mine show up like that?

I’ve got some of these originals on my big computer still, I’ll have to look to see which ones.

Yours does not, Jodi.

It’s a Photobucket thing. I noticed mine and fixed it.

Thread here

Think I’ll go delete the rest of my pictures there, except for the PW ABF medals and avatar. Eventually they’ll stop sending me their spammy emails.

I ran into the Photobucket problems when I was trying to send my September DOM picture to Matt. He was kind enough to provide an e-mail address that I could forward it to so I didn't need to use Photobucket.

My avatar is still hosted there and may be a little lower resolution but it's hard to say because it's a small cartoon image. That could be true of Jodi's as well.

Does anyone have suggestions for an alternative free hosting website or some other vehicle to transfer our avatars to for those of us who don't maintain a personal website?

postimages.org has been fine for me, but I'm a total low tech user.

I've switched to Flickr because you can make albums fairly easily. The downside is that each picture ends up with a bunch of verbiage along with it. It's easy enough to delete but kind of a hassle.
