Photobucket linking goes away, at least for me

[bwframe]

I have never paid for it and am having no issues posting. If it's going to change is there an easy way to get my 800 pictures stored to something else or am I just screwd?

A week or so ago, when I downloaded pics they wouldn't open and were 0kb. Today, I was able to download one. They are obviously reducing resolution, but maybe that's the norm?

163kb .jpg photo was downloaded from Photobucket. Same .jpg photo downloaded from Amazon PrimePhotos was 4492kb.

A little clarification this morning. Apparently Plus Members are grandfathered in for 3rd party hosting and linking. Because I pay $3/mth for extra storage and ad-free, I can still use all of the PB services until December 31, 2018... at which point my $3/mth would have to upgrade to $399/yr for the exact same service.

At least gives me a while to decide on a better option or setup my own host server.

If you really don't like what you do for a living, and "success" means you really want your business to shrivel up and die. This is a formula for success.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but that $36 a year deal is over, right? Now the only option for us who didn't book into "plus" is to pay $399 a year, correct?

You are correct.
