Title: VillagePhotos.com HELP Please !
Post by: scottiesmum on May 13, 2009, 11:13:45 AM
I've been using the VillagePhoto Image hosting service for a few years now and suddenly this morning I had the WOT warning red alert saying it was very poor  !   I was rather surprised at this, and looking further into the WOT report it appears that  VillagePhoto  Better Business Bureau licence  has lapsed and I'm just wondering if this is reason enough to put them on a warning list OR is it something more serious.    On looking at the BBB report it states   reason for the lapse of  "  # Non-payment of the annual BBBOnLine license fee or BBB Accreditation dues;# Failure by the business to maintain its BBB Accreditation, or abide by the program standards or dispute resolution requirements of the BBBOnLine program.     

Would you recommend that I avoid this site now, and move my images ... or is this just the BBB giving Village Photos bad press  ?   Many thanks in advance !

I think this may be in the wrong section  .....  sorry if it is  :'(

I'm not familiar with either VillagePhotos.com or WOT, but if they haven't been paying their bills then it doesn't sound too good. It would certainly be a sensible precaution to make sure that you've got your own copies of all the pictures.

I would make sure anything that was precious to me was certainly put on to a pen drive or similar,then I would just keep an eye on the website and see if anything happens.
