    :) Advice please
    I keep getting pestered by Photobucket as they say I have used 99.9% of my usage and they need me to pay 2.99 dollars per month to continue.
    Does anyone pay this?
    Should I just delete a few?
    Or should I just pay up?
    Your views would be appreciated.

    I never pay them for storage, I just weed pics out every so often :) I guess it depends if you still use/need older pictures?

      Why not just open a new pb account using a different email address?

        I think I had a similar request from them which I ignored but started creating different albums in my account & it stopped...I now have 20 something albums in there with 1000s & 1000s of pics.. The more albums you have the more space if you get my meaning John... :SUNsmile:

          i have just opened a photobucket account for pictures that I am going to post on forums just to be able to trace things quickly and upload fast.
          In my main account there are mainly more "precious" pictures that I wouldn't want to loose while fiddling about and maybe clicking the wrong button.

            I agree with Marley ... but I'll call you Rod rather than John ... unless you have changed your name ... ;)

            I have two accounts as I have two e-mail addresses and each have 3,000 plus in ... but all in different folders relevant to the photos, just as I keep on my computer. I certainly don't pay them anything.

            Nice pic from your holiday ... hope you enjoyed the warmth and sunshine. :SUNsmile:

              I've started opening more new albums, mainly because since their new board the pics are going to random places in the existing albums, getting all jumbled up instead of uploading in chronological order.
