Don't know why people still use Photobucket, a very frustrating "service". Found imgur quick and easy, hope they don't change in the future.

Sorry to hear of the problems it looks like you are going to have, Danny. Wouldn't it be more economical to create your own website ?
I used 'Imageshack' many moons ago, but when they unilaterally closed all album sites, I went to my current hosting site, 'My Net Images', but, just in case, also started my own web site which I haven't finished playing with yet.
Over the years Photobucket has become so painfully slow to load and full of adverts that load before the subject matter, that I rarely click on their links now.

Will soon be able to host images on the BBS direct from your own computer, its something that will be a great improvement.

It would be great if the BBS starts hosting pics! I've been lobbying for it ever since the IMG tags were turned off in collectables soon after it started. Thanks Ed, for taking the plea seriously.
Re. the Photobucket problem, it doesn't help me much to say 'I moved away years ago'! I started building galleries eight years ago when there was no inkling Photobucket would go downhill the way it has, still less stupidly 'kill the internet' through greed! Maybe it won't happen in the end, but who can say?
Yes, it would have been good to have hosted my own web site and pics many years ago, but I didn't want the cost then any more than now - and I've not done it to make money or 'big myself up' in any way, so the galleries have kind of grown organically, based on the generosity of those who supplied the pics. All I did was posted them in some sort of order.
Anyway, if I can't crowdfund the money to pay the current Photobucket extortionists, my galleries may just wither and die, which would be a shame but not the end of the world. It's up to the worldwide vintage airgun community collectively if they want to save them!
If Photobucket reverses itself, I'll happily refund any contributions.
