For users of Photobucket

Photobucket have recently changed their terms and now long longer allow 3rd party hosting on any account except the top level, US$399 per year, one.

This is a painful and annoying state of affairs from a company built on the free hosting mantra, so they have literally ruined millions of blog and forum pages in one fell swoop.

So you may see some missing photos, with a message about 3rd Party Hosting in it's place. Literally holding people to ransom.

I am moving my small image hosting needs to Imgur.com

It's never bothered me before but this is a right royal joke.

Hopefully they will not be around at all soon.
