You have to pay £400 a year now to share your photos on 3rd party sites,

My build thread is the same now with all photos hidden behind the "update your account" picture

Sucks mate, didn't even get a proper warning they were changing it, all direct picture links are now broken but I think you may be able to right click on the photos to see images on the PB website

You can log in to photobucket and download all your photos. I am putting my photos at Flickr, but now have to edit all the links in my project topic.

Mines still working for now? Currently pay around £20 per year...
Maybe mine will work until renewal is due?

Yes same as me, I thought I paid a yearly fee of £20 and so far mine are still showing. It is making me wonder when the last payment was though, and if this is all going to stop as well.

It's definitely not just because you pay a yearly fee as I was paying the yearly fee for the ad free version as well and now if you look at account options the only one that allows 3rd party hosting is the £400 a year one

I'd like to know their reasons as £400 is totally unreasonable.

£300 a year to host pictures really is quite expensive

Mine seems to be working, and I don't think I'm paying anything a year (at least, I fucking hope I'm not )

In the other thread someone posted a link just now. Those of you who pay 20 quid or whatever for subscriptions can keep the third party links working till the end of the year then when your subscription is up the links will stop working and you will be like the rest of us unless you pay the $400 they want.

So as and when people's subscriptions run out that's gonna be pretty much every build thread on every forum gone and that's all most people come on the forums for nowadays

Shame
