Photobucket Bandwidth

Ah cr@p!

All my photos have disappeared because my measly 10MB of Bandwidth has disappeared. I can only imagine its where I'm posting all my profile thread here and on a couple of other forums, in particular Prelude Power gets alot of traffic.

Have people come across this yet? I'm only at 68% of my 2.4GB storage capacity annoyingly.

The 10GB renews on 10th of the month, so I'm short by 4 days, but the problem is only going to get worse the more I upload.

I have my own hosting accounts for customers, but can I be bothered to transfer it all and change all my posts links? Probably not.

Ideas people? I can see me paying the £2 a month for the extra space and limitless bandwidth. :?

I was experiencing this a few months ago. I spread my pics over two photobucket accounts now.

Do you have a gmail account? If so you'll have Google+ which has photo storage and there's nothing stopping you linking them externally.

I could quite easily setup an account with someone else (including me!) either as a replacement or to carry on from a cut off point. But it's the hassle factor.

That could be the answer Merlin. Seems a bit of a pain though but I guess that's the best option.

re upload the pictures in a slightly lower jpg quality (or resized, or both).

bit of a hassle, but you can keep all the links the same that way (unless they get some unique URL change when re-upload with the same filename).
