Well, hello there, Mr. Aragorn-a-day...
Jan. 7th, 2019 09:45 amIt's been a while!
Yep. I don't know what exactly Photobucket did nor when, but suddenly all my Aragorn-a-day posts have photos again (and I'm assuming all my other PB-related posts, like the Bucky Bobbles ones)! Granted, there's an ugly "proudly hosted by Photobucket" watermark in the corner, but hey, NOT COMPLAINING!
I won't be restarting the A-a-day... I've pretty much moved into the "remembering with fondness" stage of separation from that fandom duty, but I'm very glad to see that PB finally came around to their senses in offering a "free" version that, though limited in storage space, nonetheless works. They now offer tiered monthly plans that are quite reasonable that include removing the watermark. I might think about signing up for that. I have nothing against PB needing to charge to make some money--it is a business, after all. But the ridiculous approach they took when they decided to charge an outrageous amount to be able to embed photos still rankles a bit. But seeing as I've never found an alternative to photo storage and sharing that I've liked as well as PB, I may well end up paying the smallest monthly fee. (I also need to look at storage limits as well; if I've exceeded the limit, I'll need to start paying, I suppose.)
I'm just tickled pink my LJ is whole again!
