So flickr have now decided to charge for using their photo hosting site, i like flickr, it's easy to use but i will be damned if i'm paying for the usage. You are allowed 1000 photos to be stored for free whereas i have somewhere in the region of 5000 stored on there, so i may be some time as i now have a lot of deleting to do or as i spend my time wisely, putting my photos elsewhere before they are blocked and lost....*retreats to a sea of Lew images*.

photobucket all over again. :-(
I don't store anything on either - most of my pics are here on lj

At least you'll have the pleasure of looking at lots of Lew as you re-prganize!

This is a nice portrait of an older Mr Collins.

i can't understand their thinking. I have been registered with them from 2013 and there has never been any issue like this but to suddenly start charging for storing your photos is beyond me.

I am certainly enjoying seeing lots of Lewis today and thankyou for liking this pic of an older Lew.

Thankyou.

this is not good news because i use flickr to host my images prior to posting so if i don't get my images below a thousand before the 8th then i won't be posting for much longer.

On the plus side there are lots of Lewis images that are passing before me as we speak.

Thankyou.

How much are hosting plans? If it is not too shabby, I can pitch in for costs.

aww bless you but honestly it's fine. I refuse to pay for a site just to store your photos.I managed to reorganise my photos before the deadline ....so fingers crossed that i will still be able to post from flickr.

Thankyou.

I hate it when things change at the last minute and I hope you were able to get it sorted out so you can continue to look at (and share) your lovely pictures. I like the older pictures, they both aged really well and I like the idea of our B & D growing old together.

it took a lot of reorganizing and shuffling images to another site that i use for storing my images so that i can still post from flickr. I have seen thousands of Lewis images pass before my eyes in the last week or so, not that i am complaining one bit.

Yes i love this older image of Lewis and the thought of them being together fills me with joy.

Thankyou.

Lovely portrait of Mr C, but what a bummer!

Glad you got this sorted out.

It seems finding places to host stuff is getting more and more difficult...
