Photobucket: It uses my own special monthly cycle.

I was getting sick of waiting on Photobucket, so I went to take a closer look and maybe even contact them to complain, and I found the problem. This is why my images haven't returned:

The 'Monthly Bandwidth' number is the amount of bandwidth you have used within the last month. The month is determined by the day of the month you registered your account.

I signed up on 09/04/2007, so the images should reappear tomorrow, on the 4th. I'm going to rehost the images from my profile and main page to my scrapbook anyway, to cut down on bandwidth usage. I also see that my images only take up 373 MB of space so far on Photobucket, so switching to my livejournal scrapbook wouldn't be such a bad idea (if this happens again, and it might not). By the time I use up my 2 GB on the scrapbook (and Photobucket only gives me 1 GB anyway), the story should be over.

So, I just might update at some point over the weekend, or maybe next week. It depends on whether I go on an overnight road trip or not.

That's just screwed up. I can't imagine the frustration you're going through. *huggles and tea*

Here's a Sims-related story that might cheer you up. I recently sent Tank and Ripp to college...

Now all I did was move Tank in with Frances. The overachieving little snot had $4000 in scholarships so that would make little mister Worthington happy. Okay, so all I did was have them wolf-whistle a couple times...



It progressed really fast. We all know face-touching = tru wuv in Simlandia.


Then...brace yourself...






Kind of proves wrong the theory that Tank would always top, right? XD

This was all on free will; all I had them do was initially flirt a couple times. They are totally destined to be together.

*snicker* Monthly cycle.

Photobucket's PMS is showing!

Aww, that sucks. I thought they operated on a monthly cycle, not yours specifically.

At least the update will be soon! :D

Photobucket is whack.

Photobucket must die!

I agree, my Photobucket bandwidth used to run out within a week or so, it drove me insane. (Also, I thought it was a little weird having my bandwidth run out so quickly) I've switched to LJ hosting (you get about 1GB with a plus account :D) and I haven't had any issues at all.

WOOT. A road trip!?

Very cool.

And thanks for the Pbucket info. That's a cocked up way to do it but. . .whatever Pbucket says, you have to do.

I guess you ended up going on the trip. Have fun.
