Aye Ellwood,

Mercenary bar stewards!   :o  >:(

Here is a link to the Photobucket "American speak" smooth highway robbery for anybody who hasn't seen it!  >:(  Photobucket_3rd_party_posting_policy_revision

However, I shall not offer any alternatives as I am a "Luddite" when it comes to using these sites, even though I am a registered 'User' of some other sites.   :-\

I am sure others far more experienced will offer consolation and positive advice.

In the meantime have a real RANT in the 'RANTS' forum if it will ease your frustration.

Good health.

My regards, Bill

CX Club having same complaint - thay are totally PB-based.

I switched to Flickr a while back when PB removed their brilliant Group Album function. Flickr pretty easy for Luddites, free so far...

I'm sure this is the proverbial thin end of the free photo wedge.
What is all the more sickening is that PB used to advertise themselves as the free photo website or whatever words you want to insert.😠😠😠
