DAVIDW 1,674 Posted November 13, 2018 Report Share Posted November 13, 2018 I may be the only one here that uses flickr for online photo storage . Everything has gone along quietly for years . However just had an email to say they are "upgrading" accounts which usually means bad news ! Free accounts can be maintained as long as you have less than 1000 images . For those that have more than 1000 images and don't want to upgrade to the £50 per year Super account to store more , the oldest pictures will be deleted , in order to bring it down to the under 1000 limit . Haven't checked yet but I think I'm under that amount but if anyone else in the past has used flickr it may lead to the loss of some images on here ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loppylugs 8,424 Posted November 13, 2018 Report Share Posted November 13, 2018 Seems like 'upgrading is usually a euphemism for we are going to start charging or if you are already paying it is going up. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,435 Posted November 13, 2018 Report Share Posted November 13, 2018 I've had the same email because I have a flickr account, although I hardly ever use it. They've obviously been watching the Photobucket fiasco. Now that PB have backed down (to a degree) and are only charging a small amount for hosting, flickr have obviously decided it's safe for them to do the same thing. They aren't going in heavy handed the way Photobucket did originally. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
