> I paid the Photobucket “ransom” . It took awhile to display...I had to refresh the page to get some to display again.

What annoys me is that all my prior posts now come up broken by default, because I can't go back into the old FreeRepublic pages and update the URLs. *sigh*

Photobucket's site is a tsunami of ads that overwrite my screen. What a pain.

So I'm dropping them and plan to spin up my own photo (and other content) cloud server. If I'm gonna pay for a service, I'd rather pay Amazon for an AWS VM and Godaddy for a domain name, and have total control of it myself. And besides, doing that is cheaper than paying Photobucket!

I have thousands of pictures and many folders in Photobucket. I post graphics most days. 10 years of archives would be wiped out and all my files useless for the FReepathon.

I have a bad back and reinventing the wheel was just too much...The good news is that there are NO ADS now.

PS I am 84 and Windows 10 suits my needs just fine.
