Photobucket
Appears to have imploded in an effort to get people to sign up to $400 packages for hosting images and allowing 3rd party linking (ie posting on forums like this!)
http://blog.photobucket.com/status/c...ge-1/#comments Lots of the content I've posted links from my photobucket account now come up as some kind of link - I'll post one below and see what happens:  I know this forum and many others allow direct hosting, but seems old content using PB linked images is potentially lost unless people go through all their old posts and try to re-create the images  ETA - although the image above seems to be working at the moment?!

I saw this on The Car Lounge last night - loads of posts there are just showing a 'pay us to upgrade' message and people are pretty vexed. Apparently some forum engines don't even allow you to edit posts after a few hours so loads of DIYs are broken .
Not a smart move it seems.

I saw this on another forum. What I don't get is why no email warnings? Why have they not stopped it to all accounts at the same time?
When I log into their site, there is nothing to suggest there will be any change (mine is still working) Sounds like someone hacked their site lol. They are committing suicide if aregoing down this avenue.

What Photobucket did is inexcusable. Clever idea, give lots of free storage, allow free usage and then when people rely on it start charging
Previously I could not get use photos uploaded to my Google Drive to work, but I just tried it on my PC and it worked. Open the pic in the drive, right click, go to Google Drive and then view on the web (opens in new window), right click on this image and copy image address. Paste on forum as usual
