HowTo: Adding pictures to posts

[Enderman]

That’s awesome and maybe should become a sticky topic since so many images from photobucket both old and very recent are now unviewable on the forum. Is Imgur the best way around this for now?
If so, is there a way to convert older but very useful and important pics from OldLumens’s post for example? its a shame to find a helpful thread only to realize all the pictures are bunk. Or even a thread less than a week old that photobucket has screwed up.

Imgur seems like the most stable (in terms of longevity) image hosting site currently.
If you have an imgur account it is easy to simply drag images over (from for example a forum thread) and have them uploaded.

Unfortunately to change the images from someone like OL you would need to have access to their forum account to edit posts.
Also, if the photobucket images are not viewable, you would also need access to their photobucket account to get the images

I think someone posted a tool somewhere in this thread that allows you to move images from photobucket to imgur?

Photobucket images broken, $399 a year!

So Ive noticed this image popping up on BLF ![image]! If you use photobucket to hotlink your photos you’ll probably see the above image in your posts instead. Photobucket now want $399 a year subscription! Ludicrous! I’d assume a very large proportion of internet forums use photobucket for hotlinking images, they’re going to lose alot of, ‘now’ angry and frustrated customers.
