I think I paid 10 bucks a year to photobucket for the pleasure of fewer adds. Don't know if that made any difference, I can't see where it should've, with such a small sum.
Al, I never tried to retrieve my photos, as I still have them on the hard drive here at home. I guess if photobucket wants a copy of my pics, they can have them. As long as I have my copy, I don't care what they do with theirs. I always considered if I store content anywhere but on my computer, then it's no longer just mine. The copies of my photos here on PondB, belong to PondB. If I didn't want or expect that, I never would've posted them here in the first place.
But, I do realize I have an unusual perspective on a lot of things. If my photos disappear from PB forum today, no big deal as I still have them. I guess I don't consider any photos I've posted over the years as being that important, as I'm not concerned with leaving a legacy to my accomplishments and/or failures. I was just sharing in the moment.
