I'll be damned if I will pay a fee for that kind of service.
I went with Imgur instead. Works MUcH better and faster and no daily spam.

Were you paying for it or using the free one? Their response may well depend upon whom they’re dealing with. They may also have a legal obligation to paying customers if secure backups are part of the terms. I doubt they’d bother pushing a button for a free user, let alone restoring a backup.

Don’t get me wrong. I’d never use PB.

No, it was before they started the extortion thing. They supposedly worked on it c couple of days.
It actually happened a few months before and they got them all back. This time couldn't fix it.
I was stupid for not backing everything up..

In all actuality, this is the only site I have to employ a third party host. All the other sites I visit are direct download. Consequently, I don't post pictures on here

Only if you have a Truck camper.

Is there a way to get my photos out of photo bucket and into my iPhoto on my mac?

I see my pics on Photobucket are now longer displaying but instead a message shows that says I need to update my account and to go to a website. Once there, they want a lot of money to continure hosting. Is there any way to fix this?

Official RV.net solution:

Another option is one of the pay for use sites like Smugmug. It costs me $60 a year but it has great features and unlimited storage of full size, original images. $5 bucks a month is, for me, worth every penny because of the huge number of photos I have stored there. Also, their mechanism for sorting and storing photos is the best I have found.

Download the photobucket embedded fix extension. This allows you to view the pics you cant see from photobucket in some forums that didn't do the fix themselves..

Yes I too got rid of photobucket.

But I only use those sites to host pictures on forums. I in no what keep my thousands of pictures on web based storage.

I have two 3 TB hard drives. ( My own cloud basically)
