Photobucket will no longer display your pictures when you link them to forums unless you pay a subscription. I am currently using google photos but this is long winded way of doing so if anyone has any other suggestions?

I am going to give imgur a go. I have deleted my photobucket account as there are just too many adverts and I am not paying for there rubbish service

That's really disturbing. Is this just for new links or have they deleted all the old ones, too? (I guess I can just go check on some of my old posts with pictures and see).

Yup, so it seems. I'll have to see what the upgrade service costs. I've got far too many posted photos to move them all! Blackmail, pure and simple.

Impacts Forums, but not Blogs yet?
Okay then? Seems like an odd decision.

A hundred dollars a year for an account which allows links to third parties?!?!?!?
That's outrageous.

All my pics are gone too!
I know I won't be paying those sorts of prices!
keep us in the loop as to any good ideas for new sites to use.

And my mistake, it's FOUR HUNDRED dollars a year to allow 3rd party hosting (like is happening here)! I'm not paying that! So I guess I will check out some other sites and decide which of my posts are worth re-doing with the new links.

Photobucket is milking folks addicted to photo-sharing. It is exactly what dope dealers do: Hand out freebies to get people hooked, then hit them up for big money to support the habit.
Predatory in the extreme.
