I'm not using it at the moment, I'm just hoping It's not true but I just thought I'd warn people just in case.

Just checked and mine's the same. Still, I switched to tinypic a while ago anyway, which seems fine.
The pics don't expire after 30 days there either when you post them on places, so it might be worth people looking into.

OH heck, I use Photobucket all the time

Never heard of the other site - but don't get the bit about your pics expiring after 30 days, mine have never done that in Photobucket
