bye-bye, photobucket

[mandie_rw]

I was GOING to do a post on my finished overskirt for the dinner dress, but it appears my ten years' loyalty to Photobucket is officially done, so I'm setting up a flickr account and sending them a nastygram tonight instead. They're getting rid of their 3rd-party hosting feature on all accounts that don't pay $40/MONTH. I do pay to host my photos (not a lot, but 10 years of costuming makes for a lot of pictures, so I don't mind having a paid account) so the 3rd-party hosting will go through the end of the year for me. Buuuuut I'm certainly not going to pay FORTY DOLLARS A MONTH so I can link pictures on fricking DW, so I'm essentially going to lose 10 years of pictures in this journal. (ETA: Not to mention everything on Blogger. Arrgh.)

Unless I want to go through over a thousand journal entries and relink them to flickr, once I get everything uploaded there. I don't.

So...slightly pissed at the moment!

Alright, I did misread - photos will be embedded through the end of *next* year (2018) for a mid-level ("plus"? I think they called it before?) account, which is what I have. Provided I keep paying. :P

This sneaky little "TOS update" lays it all out. Actually went into effect a couple weeks ago, but I thought it was just a usual meaningless update, which I almost never read. http://blog.photobucket.com/please-review-latest-changes-photobucket/
