Sony ImageStation is closing

[anna_66]

February 1, 2008 Sony ImageStation closes.

Although they are going to transfer my 11462 pictures to Shutterfly, I'll be loosing all my captions, comments and favorite albums.
Not only that, all the threads here on PT with pictures will be gone

This sucks

[Hellow]

Too bad...
At least i use Photobucket and not Imagestation!

[Husky_mom]

shucks!!...... well It means new threads need to be made or just change the links once they are on another site........

I hate when Zoto closed my account...... I didn´t pay for it either but still .... thankfully they gave me the choice of saving my pics before they erased it.....

WOW! What a mess! I tried using the Imagestation process to transfer my account to Shutterfly and during that process it asks me to register for Imagestation! It's really messed up! Also Shutterfly doesn't allow linking (although technically Imagestation didn't either). As I have all my pictures on my computer anyway, I think I just might go over to Photobucket, which is what everyone uses anyway, right?

Thanks for the heads-up Anna, I've ordered a disc. Just the other day, when I uploaded the zoo pictures, they were asking me to renew my annual subscription, glad I didn't!

Thanks for the warning. At least that gives me plenty of time to deal with what is still there.

I hated Imagestation from day one. When I was looking around for sites I could upload pictures to I made an account on Imagestation. I liked it for a week or so, but logging in one day, I found it deleted ALL my pictures! Boy was I mad! I then switched to photobucket. Photobucket is OK actually lol. I like it alot.

[RedHedd]

Ok, I guess they fixed it. My transfer to Shutterfly is now taking place. I have NO idea what will happen to my sig block whilst the transferring is going on. Later this week I'll start using Photobucket instead - I have a ton of pics from my vacation this weekend and from Mishi's last days to transfer. I'm on vacation this week and was planning on working on photos anyway; I just didn't think it would be this much work. Oh well.

Thank you for the info. I'll wait Sept.11th. for multiple images downloader.

[lizbud]

Oh poop. Should I expect an email from Imagestation? Guess I better
switch all my pictures.

[jazzcat]

Wow, thanks for the heads up.

[jackie]

Oh no!

Guess I have to get my butt in gear and change over.



EDIT.

I just deleted every uploaded image by mistake, there goes loads of puppy pictures that I lost when my computer crashed last year.

Sometimes ago, Imagestation lost some of my albums. Now there are quite a bite of "This Image is Temporally Unavailable", does it means they are definitely lost?
