Photobucket
Looks like Photobucket updated their TOS so now you have to change your account to allow 3rd party hosting for pictures.
Looks like all message boards are f-ed

For whatever reason, photobucket is also completely blocked at work. So annoying

I think that's sometimes because people move photos in their account so the link is no longer correct. Might also disable hotlinking due to inactivity etc.

yea, $400 a year to get 3rd party hosting. I've started pulling all my photos off already and getting ready to close my account with photobucket. Past few years have been nothing but a nightmare trying to use it anyway. too much lagging and too many ads. Good riddance. They'll probably loose almost all of their users over this.
Oh, and apparently I've had a Flickr account since 2015, lol. So much nicer to use so far too.

At mine too, so I almost completely stopped going on message forums since I can't follow along most of the time. I think it is industry standard to block host sites now

What I don't see is if they'll charge if I never use it again or login. They have no CC info.

You can still upload photos for free, you just can't hot link to a forum etc. You can post a url to the photo on photobucket. Its science.

It's probably so they can get paid for the clicks. Once you open up a photo, you have to click to close it and that counts as activity to their advertisers. I think that is why a lot of places aren't allowing hotlinking. It does make it a big pain to try to read through a thread and have a clue what someone is talking about when you can't see anything.

wow, I went to check this out and within moments I realized that I would be deleting my account due to whatever nonsense they now implemented. I use flickr anyways and it is a breeze to use. Photobucket gives me pop up ads from the top, bottom, and sides.. on every new page I go to within their website. took me WAY too long to navigate through all of that to find any photos I needed to download (maybe about 21 in total). After all, almost all of the photos I have uploaded on there were from my computer hard-drive so I already had almost all of. What have they freakin done to the photobucket of 6-8 years ago. RUINED IT. totally deleted my account. not even upset about it at all.

I just switched to Imgur, I like the lay out personally, and its also easy to use. What kinda bums me out is that old threads/blogs on just about any type of forum will forever be lost.

Chrome users, download the photobucket hotlink fix extension, clear cache, restart.
Enjoy.
