Thank you Photobucket ...

... NOT!

Thanks to Photobucket's asshattery most of my icons are gone. I'm really sorry about that.

I had several accounts with them and I'm not willing to pay 400$ a year per account to display MY icons in MY comm.

Sorry about the inconvenience!

I feel for you. I haven't lost my icons since I always save them to my computer, but I did lose all my mood themes which is aggravating. I'm not willing to pay for photobucket either.

My personal icons are all saved to my computer as well ... it's "just" the ones here from my comm that are gone. Well, the older ones anyway.

That's sad and aggravating. I have saved all the icons I snagged to my computer. When Photobucket was sold the owners ruined it. I remember how easy it used to be to copy & paste the html and add it to LJ. Now it's a hassle to get my photos.

I "only" lost the old ones here in the comm ... oh well ...

Many people on LJ and elsewhere have been talking abt this for the past few weeks, so I'm sorry that you must missed the news. If you are willing to pay for one month, you could then save the icons to yr own computer and then later copy them over to another service like Flickr or Imageur (spelling). You have made such great icons that I would dislike to see them lost. :(

I've been having problems with saving stuff from PB and I don't really have the time.

I understand.
Many of my photos were lost .. not happy about it but I will not pay $400.00 a year.

[meathiel]

I still wonder if they think that people are paying that kind of money?

[naurwen]

wow, and suddenly they want a fortune from you??? they'll go from many users to close to zero in no time at all!

[meathiel]

That's what I thought as well.
