Yup I did me some readin up on this yesterday. It looks like the photobucket folks changed the way they are doin things. Dont remember all the particulars and what they mean, but basically if you use them you have to go in and update your account info or your pics dont work anymore. I think someone had a thread here lately about this too. Said something about no 3rd party hosting and such. Which is way beyond my understanding.

PB wants $400/year to allow 3rd party hosting.(IMG tags)

No Puc you did not break the computer, THIS TIME, It is just PhotoBucket getting greedy and ruining a lot of good threads on forums all over the world.
