    It appears that Photobucket has started blocking images from being embedded in third-party sites, such as this forum. According to their updated (June 20, 2017) terms, this is no longer allowed.

    Here is more information from their site: http://photobucket.com/p500/

    And an article about this "ransom demand", which is causing a rather big backlash against Photobucket: http://www.csoonline.com/article/32...ed-millions-of-images-with-ransom-demand.html

    I would encourage existing Photobucket users to look into the options available; upgrading your Photobucket account, switching to Flickr, Imgur or similar, or becoming a Forum Supporter so you can upload directly.

    Has this broken links in older posts? I'll try and have a look at some of mine later if no-one beats me to it.

    Certainly in some. I don't know if it's a blanket thing or if they're bringing it in in stages.
