I uploaded over 300 photos from my vacations on imgur.
The only complain is that they all go on single page, so when you are on slow net, it is taking a while.

Seems like a lot of work just to get a email from the new host that their policy has changed too. Wish there was a way to preserve these things...even the older ones with out having a private server like Cal does.
Yup, p/b broke the internet. Suprised you only now were notified. There is no 'fix' to continue seeing the linked p/b pictures unless you pay the ransom fee. There are many options moving forward. Requires effort on your part to change links from p/b to new host site.
Initially I opened an account with Imgur.com, free simple IF you have a backup of photos stored on p/b. IMO The provided Imgur quick link works for simple one time uploads, but to access again, storing etc an account should be opened. I have multiple photo backups but I was able to download all albums from p/b to keep album structure. (It appears, at least on my p/b account, now you cant even download entire albums? insult to injury).
However I ended up also going to Smugmug.com. Primarily, though cost involved, it keeps original file names which simplifies re-linking older posts.
On older threads that are closed that you cant edit, there is no 'fix' to keep pictures alive.
Threads that are not closed and you can edit, you can relink pictures to new current host.

I pay $6/m for my private web site hosting. That includes the site plus mail servers, and other services that I don't use. Other host companies charge less.
Images on my site belong to me, and will never be arbitrarily moved, changed, or deleted. Links to the images, pdfs, and other things, can be used on rv.net and most all other real web sites.
May be too much for some, but it's basically trouble free and worth it to me.
