I stored photos on Photobucket.com and then used a link to the photo to post pictures to Gateworld forums and other sites. Now that service is no longer free. In June 2017, Photobucket changed its terms of service. You now have to pay $400 a year to allow this 3rd party hosting.
Yes, that's right. From Free to $400 a year.
You do get 500 GB of storage instead of the free 2 GB, but since I only use 7% of my 2 GB now, what do I need with 500 GB? And I certainly don't have $400 a year for this.
edit: I'm not sure, but maybe I'm not embedding my photos. I may be linking to them. In that case, the cost is $100 a year. But still!
No matter what I do, all the photos I've posted here, and all the other sites I've posted photos, are now unavailable since all the links are now invalid. Ugh! Or maybe they links are still valid if I want to pay $400 a year.
I've been using Photobucket to post photos since 2004. That's a lot of missing photos.
What do other folks do to post photos? I won't be able to fix the old photo links, but I still want to continue posting photos to sites.
