Photobucket has decided that after 14 years, they no longer wish to offer third party linking. 95% of images on this forum are hosted in my Photobucket account. They are only offering me a solution of $400 per year to resume service without interruption. Right now, the staff and I are looking for a better solution. If we do not find one before Photobucket disables third party hosting on my account, then the majority of this forum's images will appear to be "broken" until this is resolved. We appreciate your patience and welcome your suggestions.
Edit:
I may be able to use a free service through Proboards.
Thank you,
Christina

$400 ? You probably use 1% of your bandwidth and 1% of your storage at most. All the hosted images are barely a kilobyte each.

$400 a year is way too expensive to host a bunch of little icons. Let's try to find a backup or ask them for a better offer.

They are digging their own graves with this.

I know you have everything backed up. Just work on rehosting. Don't give them that much money. $4.99/month would be reasonable.

Go get a DreamHost account for a fraction of that cost.

I think they literally broke the Internet.

They hijacked my avatar. I don't think I have it saved. I'll be looking for a new picture and hosting it on the forum directly.

are all the images encrypted now the new way you're doing it?
