Do you pay or waste lots of time going on to the various forums you post on, re linking to an other free photo provider.
The new provider in a years time do the same. The old addage of if it sounds to good to be true, it probably is too good to be true, comes to mind!
How long before Google and Microsoft do the same with storage and email.
I will end up with my own server - if I can still be bothered with all this IT carp...

As per Chopper 22. It's so long since I used the account though I might have a bit of difficulty re-acquainting myself with their site (and login!) I had a Flickr account but it was one of the thousands that were hacked so I deleted it. My original albums are still there I notice but I can't do anything with them. I think I will have to use my own server too. ~iw

This is a ransom demand. If they imposed new t&c's from a current date I would have some sympathy, but to impose this for all current images and demand a subscription is simple blackmail. I won't subscribe on principle.

No issues here. Working as normal.
I upgraded to Add Free a while back, £2.10 a month is worth not putting up with lots of irritating ads.

I shall move all my photos to another hosting site, associated with my email account.
Can't update the links to here... Any recommendations??  As per Chopper 22. It's so long since I used the account though I might have a bit of difficulty re-acquainting myself with their site (and login!) My flickr restored with a change of password Graham, I hadn't used it since 2010 it told me.

£2.10 for ad free is one thing but the price for "third party hosting" is $399.99 a year. I'm curious that it is still working okay for you Peter but I wouldn't guarantee that lasting for long. ~iw

I'm wondering if it has a number of 3rd party share counting function for the ultimatum, I first noticed the rev counter screen on someone's avatar a couple of days ago.
Flickr works o.k. at the moment.

Well I have got used to using Photobucket and have backed up all my iPhone photos on it instead of Apples icloud which is too small without cost so I have just spent £22.99 for a year continuing to use Photobucket

I've managed to restore my Avatar after some buggering about, using postimage.org
The problem though is that my how to posts are now bereft of images, which is not good.
