Can see pics.

[3 Squids]

Hey guys. Today I wanted to update a thread of mine and can't see any of my pics. I see a sign that says update settings to allow 3rd party hosting. Anyone else having this issue or know how to fix it?

If your pics are stored on Photobucket that's your answer. Looks like they are only hosting for people that pay them now. Greedy bbastards what?

Well that's a crock of sheet. Any way else to post pics?

I looked back and still see a lot of photobucket links working but I guess it won't last long.

Guess we have to stick with small pix uploaded as files. It is a pain to make a reduced size copy every time in order to load here.

Classicmako.com has a whole thread on the Photobucket shenanigans. Seems PB now wants $399 per year for 3rd party hosting.
