Can no longer see photos in posts

[Higgilo]

Cant see photos in posts, Just see an image telling me to update 3rd party hosting settings. Cant figure out how to do this. Help.

I am having this same issue. Lot's of images are not coming over from Photobucket. It looks like the forum has a subscription to Photobucket to keep forum images but that subscription has expired. Can somebody please fix this?

This is NOT a forum problem, Photobucket changed the third party hosting rules and that each person has to pay, and that is quite a lot.
Photobucket Just Broke Billions of Photos Across the Web https://petapixel.com/2017/07/01/pho...-embedded-web/
"Unfortunately for Photobucket users, things are about to change in a big way as of June 26th. Now the service is rolling out a $399 per year subscription fee for those who want to hotlink images from Photobucket’s servers to display elsewhere. That means that billions of images across the Web now display an error message instead of the image in question."

well that sucks. This whole forum is broken because of it.

And $400 a year is awfully steep. I'm guessing most people will bail rather than pay.

What other photo sites are good options?

I was using www.postimage.org, as was recommended on this forum, but it seems to be really buggy.

I'd recommend Imgur.

Imgur isn't working either. I have posted several things for sale and the images will initially show but if I come back later they don't. I had to resort to posting a link to the Imgur album.

This appears to be a fix
