I'm now on a paywall with Photobucket. I can't get in for anything. But I don't recall them notifying me. I have like 700 pics in there many of which are linked here and other sites.

What do we do? Pay them for a month of access and hope I can clear everything out in time?

Photobucket has gone to sh!t. Some time ago, they started blocking third-party linking (posting a pic on photobucket, then linking to it here, for example) unless you had a paid subscription. Now, they've put limits on a free account that makes it pretty much useless. I think it's 250 pictures or 25MB (yes, megabytes).

I won't get a paid subscription because I believe that they will change the terms yet again. I don't trust them.

I could still log in and delete a bunch of pictures down below 250, but I have no idea how many MB I have. I only kept some there so I could copy them off to another location.

Also, their website had become so carp-laden with ads and full-screen auto-run videos that navigating around it is slow and painful.

So, photobucket sucks.

If they won't even let you log in, I'm not sure what to do about that. By the way, what I got was that I logged in, and it showed me the paid account options again, I just clicked login again and it took me to my pictures. Try that?

Unfortunately, my benevolent employer blocks access to most of the free picture hosting sites. I've been using imgur with limited success.
