Update. I've been investigating alternatives to Photobucket and experimenting with a couple, here is a partial list that I've reviewed, both free and subscription based:
Amazon Prime, Cubeupload, Dropbox, Flickr, Fotki, Google Drive, Imageshack and there are several more. The hosting service I am gravitating to is Flickr. Its owned by Yahoo, is a free service, easy to use and intuitive, allows you to size/resize and edit photos. No doubt there are other good choices however Flickr is turning out to be a good alternative for me: Flickr hosted/linked photo: |

I use Flickr for my non-car photos. They even host RAW images. Been happy so far.

I went through this several years ago with Webshots. I had many pictures of rear end parts that I used to help people figure out what parts they had, what the gear pattern should look like, what broken parts look like and other things. I had pictures linked to thousands of posts, but now none of those pictures are there. Webshots was free, but then they got greedy and started charging for their services. I wasn't going to pay for it, so now all of my links are blank.

Thanks for your posting, the days of free image hosting may be short lived. According to Photobucket's press release, advertising revenues are no longer sufficient to support the cost of their free hosting infrastructure and service. This realty may find its way through to the other image hosting providers who rely on advertising alone. I was quite willing to pay a fee for reliable, robust and secure image hosting, maybe in the range of $50-$100/year however when Photobucket changed their terms from free to unlimited image hosting and storage to a $400/year subscription (and nothing in-between), it became uneconomic.

I can't imagine who is stepping up for the $400 a year subscription. Especially when it was a sneak attack with no notice. What do people use photo hosting for if its not "3rd party" hosting?

Hey Bruce, looks like some of your photos got blocked by the new Photobucket policy. It appears the company is rolling out the changes to subscribers over time.

What would it take for THIS site's software or server to be able to accept pics
directly from a member's PC with no 3rd party hosting........... This is what nastyz28 now has and its so very easy to insert pics along with your text.
