Well just woke up and not happy about the first email I opened.
be careful, there is a spam email going around, I just got one yesterday, looks official from photobucket and has that image 'please update account to enable 3rd party hosting'.
I never even got a specific email from photobucket about the change. I am under the usage limit so it hasn't effected me yet but I am going to be looking for a new hosting service soon.

Don't use my phone for the internet, that's what a PC is for.

Log into your photobucket and read the blue header..
Ahh so they are getting rid of ALL non-paid 3rd party hosting completely now? Before it just said it was a limit on how much could be hosted.
Their site has been annoying to use for the last few years anyways, so no loss moving somewhere else I guess, just a shame all the old info posted over the years will be with broken links.
As an IT guy, I have to be real anal now. Their "3rd party Hosting" definition is completely wrong. Photoboucket is a host. When you link to PB from another site, that other site is the client. Therefore, PB is the 3rd Party Host. They are calling the client the host. Which is wrong And it bugs me. LOL!
I didn't link many of my photos anyway. I mostly used it as a backup. So the change doesn't effect me much. I just don't trust internet storage with my only copy of something.
