Webshots is going away as a free subscription to be replaced by SMILE. SMILE is going to be subscription service only. I don't mind paying but $30 a yr is twice what Webshots charged. If you have photos you wish to keep from free Webshots you need to move your photos.
There are a number of free picture hosting sites. You can request zip file(s) of all your precious memories.

Gotta run ... have to d/l my 17,000 photos and 500 videos. I know I have originals somewhere but this is just in case. What a BUMMER!!!!
