Get your ransom note yet?

[missdiane]

If you have photos hosted on photobucket and you haven't yet gotten the email scolding you for using them on third party sites, go immediately there and back up your pictures. See article for details. It had been getting worse and worse for months with the absolute WORST glut of pop up, pop under and pop over ads to even see your pics or do anything. I had a sneaky feeling they were going to try something else so the other day I did the frustrating process of downloading them all (at least the ones I give a crap about) and backing them up on a flash drive and uploading them to google photos. Then this morning I got THE email.



I had already deleted my photos from their site before this so I had the great pleasure of going to their site and formally deleting my account. In the "reason" field - I cited their hamhanded extortion tactics and also pointed out that I have spent hundreds of dollars in their print shop having artwork, cards and gifts made and that I will never use their services again. I hope they go under.

In other news, PT went well enough. No real answers on the evaluation but hopefully they can make me stronger. The woman noted how flexible I was which sure, sounds good, but flexibility without strength is what keeps knocking my back out. So FIX me. I was also wishy washy about wanting to incorporate use of the pool. I don't object to being in the pool, it's all the annoyance of wrangling myself into the suit and then struggling out of it and smelling like chlorine. We'll see. Have another appointment this coming Friday afternoon and I have homework which I need to start doing this afternoon

The ads have been annoying me so about a month or so ago, I switched to the lowest paid account. Good thing I did. No ransom note and it seems I will be able to cross post for another year or so.

After that, who knows.

They do suck.

You got the one that's $10/month? If you got the plan that's $6/month, you aren't allowed to link the photos anywhere

I got the smallest one BUT because I got it before June 1, there's apparently a legacy thing. It said I can link until 2018.

Hmm, I guess I should do that one of these days, although they haven't said squat to me about things.

If you don't already have the pictures saved in another place, you'd better download ones you value. Because what happens is that they block you from getting to the picture until you pay for a plan

All my pics are backs up on my hard drive, an external drive and a full back up of the hard drive (and kept in a fire proof safe). Trust me, there is nothing they can keep from me.

I loved pool therapy at Toronto rehab, once I was in the water. But getting into a swimsuit in those tiny cubicles was a freakin' pain sometimes. I feel you, m'dear.
