Likely yes. Sorry. Photobucket is kicking the bucket. There is a slight chance they have kept the files like last time, but they might demand that you buy a subscription to be able to access them. I hope you have a local copy of your pictures and don't rely on online services to keep your stuff forever. Bear (talk) 23:00, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
