In case you're not aware...

Photobucket users are now required to pay (IIRC) $299US/year to use Photobucket as an image host. No way am I doing that.
If you have upgraded to the P500 plan, you will get to see images hosted by photobucket.
If you haven't upgraded, you will not see photobucket hosted images.
You will see a "upgrade to P500" logo instead.

What does this mean if you used photobucket as an image host in the past?
I'm not sure. Can someone who has upgraded tell me if my pics are still visible in one of my build threads please?
Here's one:

What are your options?
1. Directly load images into the forum after resizing to the forum requirements, and remove the previous links.

2. Get another image host, load the images there, and edit all your posts with the new links.

3. If you have one, use your ISP page as a host.

It's a pain, but it is what it is. Please consider it when posting pics up to the forum...

What a mess of forums that they are going to create

ANY PAYING MEMBER WHOSE PLUS ACCOUNT WAS IN GOOD STANDING AS OF JUNE 1, 2017, SHALL CONTINUE TO RECEIVE IMAGE LINKING AND 3RD PARTY IMAGE HOSTING SERVICES THAT WERE AVAILABLE TO HIM/HER ON SUCH DATE, INCLUDING, UNTIL DECEMBER 31, 2018 AS LONG THEY MAINTAIN THEIR CURRENT PLUS ACCOUNT SUBSCRIPTION OR A HIGHER LEVEL PLUS ACCOUNT SUBSCRIPTION DURING SUCH PERIOD OF TIME AND DO NOT EXCEED THE STORAGE LIMIT OF THEIR CURRENT PLUS ACCOUNT LEVEL.

If you had a plus account you are still good until Dec 31, 2018

So true CO.

I'm a "member". Nothing more. So for me, well, I will look at something else.

And I got it wrong. It's not $299US a year. The only plan which allows 3rd party image hosting (what we need/use share pics straight into forums) is P500 @ $399.99US/year.
The is an image linking option with the P100 option at $99US/year...

PITA, but they're not the only game in town, a fact which will bite them in the ass big time.

I tested http://www.tinypic.com and works fine.
