So it seems photobucket has just pulled the plug on image hosting.
Sad times

I read about this too, although I don`t use photobucket much anyway.
What are the options?

Copy your entire picture collection over to another hosting website then trawl through your posts (over the last 12 years in my case) and change every single image link
Yeah like I've got time for that, greedy b*stards

As stopped using photobucket as soon as they changed the layout and couldnt figure it out. Imgblur is where its at.
But i neither have the time to go through 8 years of posts to change what is gone.
Good job i have pictures of my old cars though

It's OK. Pay them $400 ransom and you get all your image links back.

Such a shame, think of all the now redundant build threads and useful info that has been lost

Yep, they've effectively killed off historical topics on forums

I just created an account with imgur. Might replace all my image links one cold, quiet, dark evening :-/
