    Flickr going the same way as Photobucket.......

    Just received notification that the Flickr free accounts will now only be allowed a maximum of 1,000 photos.

    Free accounts will soon be limited to 1,000 photos or videos. Flickr isn't Flickr without the contributions and participation of our free members, and we remain committed to a vibrant, free offering.

    *Free members with more than 1,000 photos or videos uploaded to Flickr will no longer be able to upload new content after Tuesday, January 8, 2019 unless they upgrade to Pro. After February 5, 2019, free accounts that contain over 1,000 photos or videos will have content deleted -- starting from oldest to newest date uploaded -- to meet the new limit. Members may always choose to download content over the limit at any time prior to these dates.

    Not quite as harsh as the Photobucket saga......photos remain on the free account but you can't upload any more ! I wonder how many free accounts you can have ???

    Not quite what photobucket did by a long way. The writing was on the wall for this, and I think it’s not a bad compromise. As has been said, 1000 pics is a lot, and even if you have that many, it’s $50US per year, not $400US that photobucket wanted.
    If you need to contact me please email homestarrunnerau@gmail.com - thanks - Gav.

    I don't need photobucket or Flickr, I'm more than capable of losing my own pictures.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    Just checked and I have over 1,000 photos already and I only started after the Photobucket saga......

    Time to start culling the older pics.

    At least the time frame is quite long - you've got until Feb to do it I think.

    I'm only hosting the photos to post here so that might work.
