    I'll fess up and tell you that I am running Linux Mint 18 instead of Windows or Mac, Is this why?

    No, Linux is not your problem...Photobucket is. You must now pay them $399 per year for the privilege to have them host your photos.

    Most photos were hosted by photobucket and they recently committed corporate suicide by removing 3rd party hosting unless you pay a fee. Its not your PC, its photobucket.

    Yup, photobucket went to ransomware. *sigh* I have a lot of photos there.
