For instance, most of the images used in various chart prep threads are from Photobucket and I can no longer see them.

I too am now rushing around trying to re-upload photos onto Flickr, which Silas suggested, and replacing all the non-viewable images of mine on here. Still doesn't solve the problem of not being able to see other people's Photobucket images, mind.

I'll just stick around and do some more damage Joined: 14 February 2009 Posts: 115,023 User: 8,300	There isn't a solution to this unless the people who uploaded the images in the first place upgrade their accounts afaia... it's an executive decision by Photobucket themselves. (this is why Imgur >) ((although this will probably one day happen to them as well, ImageShack already went the same way a while back too ))
