Change in PhotoBucket Policy

Which may (or may not) affect this forum in a positive way...

I got this in an email/newsletter from m1911.org...

One more issue we like to draw your attention to. Photobucket, the image hosting company, has suddenly decided to block images uploaded in their site, from showing in forums, blogs etc. As a result, your images stored in their site will no longer show in our threads. This issue affects also our E-zine site, our images in the various articles no longer show. Photobuckets stopped sharing images on June 30th and wants his members to get a $400 plan, if they want their pictures to show. This is rather crazy, especially considering that Photobucket's original "raison d' Ãªtre" was exactly that, to allow you to share your images stored in their servers in other sites.

We are trying to figure out what to do with this issue, but in the mean time, please do not be alarmed if pictures do not show in the discussion threads or our E-zine.

We've already seen some of the effects of this here, in the For sale sub-forum (pic attached). It does not seem to have been publicized much by PhotoBucket, oddly.
