Good day everyone!!
Well, I have some good news and some bad news... Lets start with the bad as it is might very well become a legal issue... The following is a clip from the NEW "Terms" from photobucket...
Types of Accounts, Pricing and Limits
Visiting : There is no cost to visit the Site or to register as a Member.
Free account : Each individual Member gets one free account that provides 2 GB of free storage or space available for your original photo files, or videos under 10min. The free account does not allow any image linking or 3rd party image hosting. If a free account Member exceeds their Content Limit, their account will be immediately suspended and they will need to become a “Paying Member” (defined below) in order to continue accessing their account. You can upgrade to a Plus account at any time.
Ad-free Account : The Ad-free Account offers Members the ability to use the Site without seeing any third party banner advertisements when logged into your Ad-free Account (note, viewers of your images within Photobucket will see ads unless they, too, have Plus accounts and you will continue to see Photobucket offers and announcements). This account level is available for $2.49 / month, payable by the Member on a monthly recurring basis.
Plus Account : The Plus Account offers several paid options that may give the Paying Member more storage, bandwidth, 3rd party image hosting, image linking and/or other services as outlined below. Once and during such period of time in which you subscribe to and pay for a Plus Account, we will consider you a "Paying Member." Please note that all Plus Account subscriptions are billed annually at the commencement of the service. Photobucket may also offer a monthly billing option for its Plus Accounts (see terms and restrictions, below).
Available Plus Account Plans : Photobucket offers the following Plus Account Plans:
o Plus 50 Plan: 52 GB of Storage for $59.99 / Year. The Plus 50 Plan does not allow any image linking or 3rd party image hosting.
o Plus 100 Plan: 102 GB of Storage for $99.99 / Year. The Plus 100 Plan allows for unlimited image linking but does not allow 3rd party image hosting.
o Plus 500 Plan: 500 GB of Storage and unlimited bandwidth for $399.99 / Year. The Plus 500 Plan allows for unlimited image linking and unlimited 3rd party image hosting.
Additional Features of all Plus Accounts : When you upgrade to any Plus Account, you will also receive:
So this means every picture I have ever posted on any forum site in the past ten or so years is now useless... I have never deleted or moved any of my pictures that have been posted so they will ALWAYS be avail... This includes the first mod I did and posted the results: the rebuild of the SOHC 4.0L Explorer motor... A big "THANKS!" goes out to photobucket for destroying an unthinkable number of forum write-ups!! I need a new imagine hosting site... What do yous use??
ON TO THE GOOD NEWS!!!
I attempted to start the 6MT today... No clutch pushed in and turned the key... Nothing happened... That is how it should be!!
Next attempt, I pushed in the clutch and reset the key... Fired right up!!! YEP!!! IT WORKS!!!! Only programmed two modules and it worked!! I have the front end disassembled in favor new suspension items... The only alert light I have is for one of my reverse lights out... I should state that I do have the DSC lights since the front end is not connected... And I had the rear tires spinning with it on jack stands...
I can't wait to get it out of the garage and see if it will transfer the power to the pavement like the 540i does!!!! I'm getting even more excited about this project working better than I figured... It's not over yet, but it looks promising!
Cheers for now!!!
