I'm sure a lot of bloggers are now aware that Photo bucket have decided to stop 3rd party hosting unless you pay a fee. Now I am rather angry at this money grabbing stunt. Unfortunately this means none of my photos are viewable. Now I'm going to have to look for a new host of my photos and decide if I have the time to go back and fix all of my links. Bearing in mind this blog has been going for well over 6 years, that is a lot of work which I have little enthusiasm for.
The blog may be quiet for a while as I sort a few things out.
What they are doing is very bad. I can´t see why they would make such demands and hope that they wouldn´t loose customers.
ReplyDeleteWhy Didn´t you host the pics direct to the blog? At the Moment it´s still free.
Going to move everything to the PC and start correcting the links
DeleteI appreciate you alerting the rest of us to this situation. This is very disturbing.
ReplyDeleteYep, just checked mine Scotty, 3/4 are missing. I have them on hard drive but lots of work to get them back on. I will never use these pricks again and I would hope they go bust!
ReplyDeleteDave.
It's a pain. Started to re do links but a massive job. Got 524 pictures just for the WSS
DeleteI've always hosted mine direct on blogger so I feel your pain.... The business model is BAU.. build your base by offering free and then start charging.. don't doubt blogger and Facebook will go the same way eventually... :-(
ReplyDeleteSteve I wouldn't be surprised if either did end up charging
