What FE said. A lot of sites require you to use a hosting site, cant upload direct to the site server like here.
Photo bucket WAS the largest FREE hosting site, something like a billion users.
Then out of the blue, they decided to charge all users $400/yr. or something close to that, to be able to use your pictures on a third party site.
That's why if you go to almost every forum now, the pic links are broken.
A LOT of pissed of people over this.
This is why I painstakingly installed the "Attachment Mod" to PHPBB (this site) years ago then it took me like 10 hours to get it to work then days over the years spent on tweaking it to work the way I like, things like resizing the pictures the way it displays and locates them on the screen etc. Now installing the Attachment Mod would only take a few minutes with the advancement of PHPBB
I have always encouraged users to attach their pictures to their post so the pictures are archived here on the site this is also good for when or if a user loses their pictures at home or on another hosting site they can come back here find their pics download them.
