That's odd.

I've just posted 4 images from Photobucket onto a forum with no problem at all.

They are starting to charge for hosting.
People on the Z650 forum having the same issues.
I have just downloaded all my images while you still can.

The Scale modelling Forums that I visit are having the same problems, most people are switching to Flickr or IMGUR for photo hosting, however it does mean that all the photos that have been posted using Photobucket will vanish from the various websites that you have posted on. It would take ages to identify each photo and re post it using a new host so most info will be lost, so copy it while you can.

Cheers

There's a prolific restorer on the aircooled forum who's just had to reload all images to about 4 or 5 restoration threads because of same issue. What a headache!
