Dave, I did the "beta" version on PhotoBucket some time back and pretty quickly opted back to their original format, but as you say they are now forcing the move. Having some experience with the development package I'm not bothered with the format, and I've not seen anything that would cause me any concern, yet... Based on what you've posted I'll be watching. A friend of mine uses Fotki exclusively, but so far I've been OK with the bucket.
