Photobucket is a Royal Pain

I have Plenty of space yet to be used.
But this morning I couldn't(and still can't several hours later) add my photos directly from the bucket to the forum because none of the links would work.
THEN I started getting pop-ups telling me that for a grande $399.99 I could get 5 years of photo sharing to forums, etc.
I hate it when sites just fool with your stuff to make money and get you to think the problem needs tech assistance .
To get around this and post my photos to the site w/o going into my computor files, I just
right click on my photobuck uploaded photo
view it in my browser and copy it
then paste it from there to the site.
I say to Photobucket and their marketing techniques just what
CeeLo Green sang(and paraphrased)  in his recent hit song :"Forget You".

scuse me..I am in a SNARKY mood today. Must be the barometric pressure.

I think she did.  

I believe she did.
I am learning as I go. I am not tech savvy. But I remember the days when I would call for tech help because my computer wouldn;t work and they would charge me for a membership for $100 to fix by remote(legit companies) and all it took was pressing a Smart Key or turning off the Modem/Router for a few seconds, or dumping a megaload of accumulated files. They would have me on hold,have me going into the back of my tower, plugging and unplugging my cables  while all along knowing the problem was a simple fix that would take all of 10 seconds.
OH, DUMB ME! 
Now the only time I call for help is when what I learned from them in the past fails, or there is'nt a You Tube tutorial, or I have some new software or hardware that I don't want to mess with.
Those companies know how to take advantage.

I know they do.  I have ran across that also in the past.  But I take notes and look them over first.  Then if I can't figure it out I will ask Mark.  If all else fails I make him find out how to fix it. lol

Indeed I did.  Still cannot believe they want $400 a year. 

Corinne, they shouldn't have done this to you because since you are a paying account already their new policy said you'd be grandfathered in til the end of 2018.  Sheesh, they're nuts.
