Photobucket wants $400 a year from me and some of you...

The place to socialise, and relax, if it doesn't fit into anything below it fits here, so tell us that joke, or share that story of your last off-road escapade, but remember new comers the virtual drinks are on you!

Personally I won't be relying on any free services going forwards, especially as I was already paying for my PB account and they still stitched everyone up.

Wouldn't matter if you could get the code - unless you're paying $399 a year, you'd just get something that looks like this:

And even if YOU can see pics you link to, other people can't (try viewing your threads with a different browser and you'll see what I mean).

I'm in the middle of switching to flickr at the moment. Knowing my luck, that'll last a year, then they'll screw us over too...

I'm pretty sure in flikrs terms they don't allow 3rd party hosting? You can do it but they will close
your account I heard.
