Same here.

I was on that $9.99 account too, my account was due to renew in November, the only option I had that included 3rd party linking was their $399, when I contacted them I was suprised when I got a response ... All they said was we don't offer that program any longer.
Good luck with your $9.99 renewal, I hope it goes better than mine!

To paraphrase the song -

I used to love her, but it’s all over now.

Screw Photobucket! They can suck donkey noodles.

Looking forward to seeing the remains of that company's burning carcass soon. This won't change that, for them or me.

It's odd how we can get mad a company for wanting to make a profit and going about it all wrong and screwing over the customer.

Then in a few months or years we forget all about that bump in the road and forgive them ... Kimber, Ruger, Colt and S&W come to mind

They were preferred by a vast number of users for a couple reasons I can think of right off ... cheap, easy to use, reliable (until they started getting so big)

Just saying.

Phuck Photobucket. After that ransom stunt they pulled and left millions of people high and dry like that, I'm shocked they are even in business right now and I doubt if anyone will pay them much attention anymore.

They surely did screw themselves cause there are too many free options still like postimage.org and imgur.com

Surely you jest. Did you see the TV interviews with Photobucket's jackass CEO last summer. That smug POS didn't give the impression they had done a lick of analysis in coming up with the $400/yr pricing, how many customers they'd lose, etc. and didn't give a shit that they did it all with zero warning. They had become so unstable/unreliable that I had already moved sites so I would' not have paid if it were something like $1/month or $9.95 per year. Sure as hell wasn't paying 4 big ones.

Besides, fuck 'em since they ruined the Cat Thread.

Mine is auto-renewal. Already done. No luck needed. Wink
