Thanks Simon
There may well be other sites compatible with Photobucket ( which as you know was
recommended for this Forum by Keith " Boss ", when it was free ) - I don't have experience of them.
Even if such a site exists which doesn't charge for " third party hosting ", that would only be useful for FUTURE uploading of images. Personally I can't imagine uploading all my hundreds of photos, complete with explanatory texts, for a second time
.
My only consolation is that the relevant threads have been viewed thousands of times before Photobucket deleted the images without warning
. Thank you to all members for your support and interest
