If, as is being said, they're basically limiting users of the free storage to being just that alone, i.e. only viewable by that person and not able to share onto sites like this, then all the advice that I and others have given to people for years that this is what you can do is false. For me, this was Photobucket's main purpose in life, as I believe it largely would be for all on forums like this. If this is true, and it sounds so, as all of the photos I have stored there have always been stored to my computer's files first, then why bother. Just make sure they are backed up on another drive (or drives), cheaper in the long run. Peebucket, as I have on occasion, referred to them since the sale from it's original founder, seems to be, in that case, engaging in a final foot shooting excercise.
