As an update - after all my photos disappeared in my photobucket account they came back again. I still haven't had anything about paying for an upgrade and my old photos in Charlie's thread are still there. I am just wondering if it is a bug or ransomware that is asking people to pay to keep their photos (although maybe third party hosting is a different thing?) Edit - Photobucket have announced it so it must be genuine. Still strange that my photos haven't been replaced with the icon to upgrade
