Let's see if this works and how long it remains on the page.
That didn't take long.
Oh yes, I can Andy, but do you have any idea how long it would take to sort through all the albums for the last ohhh, 12 years? lol
Lots have gone in a new folder in my documents.

I have all my old photos on my computer. I edit/resize all my photos in paintshop pro before I host and post. So I have the original digital pictures off my camera and edited pictures in folders. I will try to rehost and replace as many of my recipe thread pictures especially the tutorials.

I don't like what they're doing either, and if they're going to charge, I'm out. I have to wonder how they're choosing who to put the screws to first. I only have about 5% on my bucket, so maybe they're going after the accts first who have the most to lose/most pic's. I've had some problems, but it still seems to work with a little finagling.
There's always Flickr.

My bucket says I'm at around 1% and my pics are gone.
Why does it say Free on the left side? Free to store BUT pay to share!
this is what mine says @ 32%- all pics are still there.
They want you to download the app, Peeps?

Now I could swear the pics in posts #3 and 4 were showing before I logged in here.
It's all becoming so

ahh okay. App for your phone.
When I looked there a while ago, did a search for free anywhere on the page.
On the part of my page under my name where it shows 32%, it says Get More < they want you to click on that.
Once you do that, it shows the Plus 50, Plus 100 and Plus 500 plan offers.
Another note of interest, clicking on the customer support link took me to a pop up that says;
Oops.
The page you were looking for doesn't exist.
You may have mistyped the address or the page may have moved.
Take me back to the home page.
Didn't mistype anything, they're being flooded with complaints methinks.

If you do pay, then you can.

Look at the Plus 50 plan (in the cropped pic) - storage and no linking
Even more of a reason to say to heck with 'em.
Before this whole thing even started, I was having some problems with it stalling out, not accepting reasonable sized photos- sometimes there would be a black box and I had to check back later.
I have been working on saving every pic in the bunch that is of value, then deleting the rest.
