Photobucket apparently had a change of heart.

Just received this via email:

Hello,
We have listened to you, and significantly lowered the price of the Photobucket plan offerings.
For a limited time all of your 3rd Party Hosted Images have been restored. Please login to choose the plan that best fits your needs to continue hosting your images.
If a Free plan is all you want, we have it! Want 3rd Party Image Hosting for your forum, website, blog, or online store, we have it! Want more storage.....yes, we have that too!

NOTE: No "third party linking" on the "free" account (so you can't use it to post photos here).

1. And also: FOR A LIMITED TIME ALL YOUR 3rd PARTY HOSTED IMAGES HAVE BEEN RESTORED.

Huge change, all right.

2. I was going to post your three books of photos and poetry

I guess I will just download everything and store it somewhere else.

3. That would have been too cool!

I really like the following site:

https://postimages.org/

No charges so far.

5. Thanks CP

They are probably picking up all the customers Photobucket drove away. I'll check it out.

4. They've really screwed up,

I've told them so, and after I did so several times, they 'provided' me a $40.00 plan with third party linking for 1 year, but getting it to work is something else.

IDIOTS!

6. Occasionally I will post a photo on Twitter and use that link to post it here.

Where there's a will, there's a way.

7. I'm sure that's right, others have found ways around phb,

but I haven't found a satisfactory approach.

And I don't tweet.

8. I noticed my little doggie was back with me....

9. Apparently Photobucket never knew I was gone...

This was the "on" setting of Middlefingermom's cloak of invisibility:



You don't want to see the "off" setting.
