Very sad at number of useless posts
I have looked at MANY of the posts on this forum and I have to say it is very sad that so many of them are now totally useless to mostly useless due to photobucket messing up. Would have been avoid...

I've never really understood why people used Photo Bucket. It seems like very unnecessary work, what happens when they loose them and you had to know they would charge for it someday.
Store them on your desktop, laptop and back them up on something like the very small 4TB Western Digital drives. Then it's very simple to post then to this and other forums.

Bill,
Doesn't work that way, this forum cannot access YOUR own personal drive whether it is your PC or a external HD to showa picture in a post.
To post a photo on this forum that is NOT your signature line requires a URL hot link to a ONLINE Internet storage website.
Your signature line photo is the only photo that IS hosted by this forum.
PhotoBucket is one of many online storage websites.
The folks who have their photos on PhotoBucket have not "lost" the photos, they STILL can access them. The problem is PhotoBucket changed the TOS to NOT ALLOW FREE ACCOUNTS HOT LINKING.
To restore the hot linking one must now PAY A FEE to PhotoBucket..
Unfortunately for what ever reason, PhotoBucket decided $400 per yr is a fair price for this service..
Yes, it can post pictures from my hard drives, that's where all of my posted pictures come from and that's the only way I've ever done it.
