    Gee, Matt; the body of that response/explanation you post doesn't seem at all like it comes from the higher-ups at photobucket. It's crudely written. Sounds almost like it was penned by a teenager. With all those exclamation points, it almost looks like it was concocted by a high-school sophomore.

    Anyways, it's a big problem.

    Is it time to change photo managers?

    Don't know if "concocted" by a "high-school" sophomore...but something very certainly went sideways over there yesterday.

    Expect PB management/owners have way to much invested to let users down much in future...

    5,486,585,556 (That's billions of images) as of moment ago...

    Translates to quite an army of pissed off users if they can't fix problem. :angry:

    A couple weeks ago, photobucket was having everybody change their passwords when they logged in saying there was some kind of compromise.
