I was unable to access my paid account for almost 6 weeks earlier this year. It was finally restored and worked okay for a short while. For the last three days though, my images are "now you see them, now you don't". Photobucket is unreliable and and inconsistent and treat their customers in a shameful manner. In the "real" world, this business would not last 2 weeks. It's a damned shame and a sham and I feel like a fool for ever getting involved with these pirates. Run, don't walk away from these charlatans!
