I posted an emoticon (a smiley) that I keep on Photo bucket and now Photobucket are blackmailing people that have a free account with them to try to get them to open a paid account which I wont be doing. Here is some info about it.  https://www.theverge.com/2017/7/4/15919224/photobucket-broken-images-amazon-ebay-etsy-paid-update

Thanks for clearing that up for me Sandy.  I stopped using Photobucket years ago.

I have no idea who your Footballer friend is though.  I'm assuming he's a Soccer player ?
