You will probably have noticed that we have a major issue going on with Photobucket withdrawing their free third party photo hosting service. This is causing a big problem that is going to take some time to fix and unfortunately many photos in old threads will probably not be fixable.
We would be very grateful if any regular members could rehost any important photos and edit their posts and start using a new hosting service for all new photo links.
We apologise for the inconvenience.

In order to preserve important forum content, we have decided to rehost broken Photobucket linked photos in some important threads, these photos will only appear as the original poster submitted them. If any member objects to their photos being rehosted please let a moderator know.

Fotki
Freeimagehosting
imgbb
ImageShack
nickpic.host

HOWEVER, have a look at each one (including terms and conditions) so you can choose the most appropriate for you and your needs. Some may have restrictions on them.

Thanks darthchinchi. Recommendations are welcome, however Imgur has a specific point in their Ts and Cs about hotlinking. I.e. If they (and it is purely at their discretion) decide you're using your account to store photos then link them onto other sites, like forums, they will delete your account. If you're just posting one or two from your album on third party sites, then you should be OK. |

I had to make an account when I joined gishwhes a few years back. Haven't closed down yet. I use them if I have to hotlink

No worries, just highlighting the issues when you look at the agreement.
