Default Photobucket hosting

Am I the only one who uses Photobucket and got the "you need to upgrade your account" image replacing every you've linked in here.

Wildly irritating.

Never been thrilled with the ads or the miserable speed of their servers but that's what I can expect when it's free.

Now they want $399/year to support third party hosting.

What do you guys use for linking photos?

Had the same thing happen to me. I also noticed it with others. Well I'm sure everyone will be leaving Photobucket now. 400/yr is just dumb.

Yup - download the app on your phone makes uploading cell pics very easy

Sounds like the plan. I registered an account on Imgur last night.

How did you go about downloading your library from PB? Their instructions suggest a one-at-a-time deal. Is there a batch downloader?

If you guys use dropbox, you can just host your own pics.
