Just to update this thread.....
I tried to post an image on the forum last night and got a generic over limit message.
Today I get an email:
your account does not allow 3rd party imaging. Please upgrade to our Plus 500 plan to allow 3rd party hosting.
So I looked it up: Their policy was last updated on 27th June. The only 3rd party hosting plan (plus 500) will cost you a measly $399 per year (no doubt USD - i didn't look that far).
6 years and over 50 blog posts down the drain, not to mention forum entries. Thank you very much photobucket. For a modest annual fee, I may have considered that. $400USD per year is robbery.
Photobucket, your a bunch of So much work to do now, it will take me a year I reckon to sort this crap out
Now what to do????
And I suspect everyone will be in the same boat as me, they will have blocked IMG tags on all but plus 500 accounts :curse5 [1]:MY16 NX GLX5 with just a few bits added. MY14 D-max spacecab, also with a few bits added.

Mind you, my blog has had nearly 100,000 hits now. 1700 in the last month, so maybe that is whyMY16 NX GLX5 with just a few bits added. MY14 D-max spacecab, also with a few bits added.

I have the app downloaded on my phone which gives me extra quota (10GB). A lot easier to upload straight from the phone as well.

My linked images are still displaying - I wonder how long before they get down to me?
I've been thinking about finding another hosting platform, even signed up to Flickr last night (not too impressed so far... ).

So I've just been trawling some of my threads, and downloading my pics for when Photobucket gets around to me. Got my NT build thread done, but when I went to my Shorty thread, my pics aren't showing.
I'm not getting the message that sharkcaver has, but I'm wondering if that's just a matter of time?NT Platinum. DiD Auto with 265/70R17 ST Maxx, Lift, Lockers, Lockup Mate, Low range reduction, LRA Aux tank, bull bar, winch, lots of touring stuff. Flappy paddles. MMCS is gone!

I think those that are having issues are due to bandwidth limits being exceeded. You guys are too popular.
I do have 50GB of onedrive storage so may use that if I become affected.

I've had a bandwitdh overload once and had 3rd party hosting disabled. That reset itself in a month. This is different. Its not bandwidth related, its a terms of service policy change. Pay $400USD per annum or don't have 3rd party hosting.
Whilst my bandwidth usage may have flagged my account at present, I believe in time all will be affected as is stated in their new TOS. So enjoy it while you can.
It seems there are quite a number of people not very happy about this change of terms. Like I said, if it was a reasonable cost request, I may comply. I cant justify $400USD.
So I guess I will just sit back for a bit and see what happens. If a lot of people can their accounts, they may have a rethink.
I hope you guys don't get banned like myself.
Good luck.MY16 NX GLX5 with just a few bits added. MY14 D-max spacecab, also with a few bits added.
