Help - Photobucket will not allow 3rd party hosting without paying

(1/5) > >>

Jim:
It appears that Photobucket is down for maintenance.  Most of our board graphics and avatars are rendered from there so that is why they are not showing up.  They should be back up soon.

Tina:
Thanks for the warning, Jim.

Jim:
I know this is an old topic but thought I would still post it here.

I got an email today from Photobucket about the graphics that are rendered from their website.  I guess they are going to start blocking them unless I pay $399 a year.  Well, I;m not doing that so if you start seeing the embedded photos and graphics disappear, that is what has happened.

Tina:
I haven't check my PB yet but I heard from someone else that it is no longer free.

Jim:
As you probably saw on the board index, Photobucket is stepping up the pressure to pay for linking the graphics.  I'll start today moving them to another service.  In the meantime we will just deal with the substitutes they have put up there.

I'm not sure how many of the avatars that we are using here are on Photobucket.  I have set the board where you can upload an avatar to the server so we will need to move those over as well.
