  PHOTOBUCKET

  As Photobucket have changed their Terms & Conditions, all image links from their website will now appear broken, unless you upgrade your account at a cost of $40 per month or $400 per year.

  There is a little trick you can use which currently works (but it could fail at any time) and that is to put...

  ~original

  ...at the end of the image URL. This has to be done, via the HTML button on the message editor toolbar, after the image has been posted.

  Does that work for images already posted, like old posts?

  For info Jim.

  Right click where image was (speedo now), copy url.

  Paste into new tab

  Will take you to creators profile, his PB

  Right click image and  "save image as" into your pics

  Upload with whatever you use (postimage me)

  Then put on your wall.

  Mine were on wall and now on my homepage bloggs.

  Info above was from member in our club, and it worked.

  Damn, I just tossed an old gif on my profile that Andyson sent me years ago. It had the photobucket thing and I figured wrong, thinking it was history.  :-(

  Russell, I don't want to alarm you and I'm not saying that TinyPic is going to do the same thing as Photobucket, but TinyPic is owned by Photobucket.  : (
