Just an FYI......
NUTS!
Lots of my K11 Tech threads and replies are linked to my Flickr photos.
So my Flickr "Pro" account will go from $25/yr (which I just paid) to $48/yr or $72 if charged monthly.
No huge increase for NOW, but who knows down the road. _________________ John & Cathy

Why am I not surprised by this..... since Yahoo was bought out by Verizon. I imagine that V is unloading off shoots that they don't want to mess with.
I was experimenting with Flikr since the photobucket fiasco, looks like I'll be dumping it now as well...... at least I hadn't uploaded my whole mcycle photo library, only 5......
Maybe I'm just too much of a tight wad and don't feel like paying for sharing photos.
If Facebook ever changes their business model and wants to charge for it............. not for me. _________________ Ride safe.

It really pissed me off when Photobucket went from free to charging after years of being free. "Ruined" years of posts all over The Internet for everyone.
I now use free website hosting from X10. I don't use any fancy software for image hosting. I just FTP the image files to my free website space.
If I want to build any pages I use local software on my PC and then FTP that to X10.
The only requirement at X10 is that you have to visit the control panel at least once a month so they know you're still active or they suspend your account until you do. But they send you an email if that occurs so it's pretty easy to keep it alive.

I have no affiliation with them other than using their free hosting for years without issue. _________________ 93 LT (x2)
