Initially I opened an account with Imgur.com, free simple IF you have a backup of photos stored on p/b. IMO The provided Imgur quick link works for simple one time uploads, but to access again, storing etc an account should be opened. I have multiple photo backups but I was able to download all albums from p/b to keep album structure. (It appears, at least on my p/b account, now you cant even download entire albums? insult to injury).
However I ended up also going to Smugmug.com. Primarily, though cost involved, it keeps original file names which simplifies re-linking older posts.
On older threads that are closed that you cant edit, there is no 'fix' to keep pictures alive.
Threads that are not closed and you can edit, you can relink pictures to new current host.

May be too much for some, but it's basically trouble free and worth it to me.
When I tried this, I reached a fairly small limit really quickly. Like maybe 50 pics. Nobody could explain a detailed explanation (specs or stats) but 1492 said it is simply the nature of the "free" in association with he, or others, as AP style developers.

When I tried this, I reached a fairly small limit really quickly. Like maybe 50 pics. Nobody could explain a detailed explanation (specs or stats) but 1492 said it is simply the nature of the \"free\" in association with he, or others, as AP style developers.
