I just noticed a lot of photos from users are not appearing on this site. It appears that Photobucket has changed how they operate, and you can no longer use them for "storing" and "serving" images to other websites like this one without paying them. They are now requesting that you "upgrade" your Photobucket account to a paid account, at the cost of $400 per year. Needless to say, that impacts this forum A LOT, and I will not be posting Photobucket photos due to that cost.
Perhaps there is another option, such as this website hosting its own photos?
Moderator input is requested.

I personally like to use Imgur to upload pictures. Super simple to use, you can drag and drop images or select multiple ones at once and it uploads all of them for free, no account required. Never really liked photobucket, even more so with it's current direction.

Yup, what Petroh said. Imgur, for now anyway, works well as a replacement for photobucket.

The photobucket ad on the the page.Admin. can you remove it.I doubt that anyone would pay them $400.00 a year for hosting pictures anyways.. For some of you image posters,that are very good at doing it. Could you do a step x step with your new hoster of pictures...thanks from an OLD fart with very ltd.PC skills thanks

they have changed the admin coding options on this forum so many times and it got hard to find the header and footer codes hence the delay.

Wowzers. So, I am assuming all old posts with photobucket pics will not be viewable anymore... what a shame.
