I'm trying to fix the pictures

Sorry about the look of the pictures, I'm trying to get them fixed.  I forgot I had set up my Photobucket account with my old card that was attached to a checking account that I don't have anymore.  I forgot, that is, until all my friggin' pictures disappeared here and I got a notice from Photobucket saying they couldn't bill my account. Well duh.  Anyway, went over to get everything all switched over and changed and Photobucket will not let a person change payment methods without having them stop the current recurring payment first.  And here's the kicker, you can't stop the recurring payment yourself, you have to wait to have customer service do it.  How dumb is that?  It's especially dumb in my case considering that the recurring payments should have stopped automatically when they couldn't bill my friggin' card. I would think that if anything would stop the recurring payments, that would. Heck, I can't even switch over to a different payment method such as Paypal or checks. So now I have to wait for Photobucket's people to stop payments from a nonexisting account so I can replace it with my current account.  But of course I first have to wait for an email from customer service.

So. Frustrating.

So please everyone, for the love of buttered toast, keep your fingers and toes crossed that Photobucket's service department will be faster than say every other service department in the civilized world who responds via email.  If not, then you may be looking at the lovely white "upgrade to pro" pictures for a while.  That or I may end up having to change photo sites.  Not too sure which would be the lesser of two evils.  Or which would make me want to pull my hair out the least.  Wish me luck. 

Update: As you can see everything is back to normal.  Thankfully Photobucket works fast and it only took a couple of hours for them to get everything fixed up.

One reason I use Wordpress with a hosted solution (InMotionHosting) ... I could upload everything I wanted to my own servers and never worry about downtime or limitations. I don't know what blogging service NG is built on, but if it's WP, you can do the same easily ;)
