Subject: Photobucket has changed their photohostng and linking rules, you might already be affected ....

Good to see GL and this forum is still up and at it! Things otherwise out on the web isn't looking too good in contrast. Photobucket has done a real number on it's base of users, and it having a major negative impact on the hobby forums and others.

You might want to read and keep track of these threads in other forums, as new information on this continues to be found, or if more photo services change their rules too.

Pay close attention to this from Imgur ...

Stuff not to do

If someone else might own the copyright to it, don't upload it. Don't upload gore, "hate speech" (i.e. demeaning race, gender, age, religious or sexual orientation, etc.), or material that is threatening, harassing, defamatory, or that encourages violence or crime. Don't upload illegal content such as child porn or nonconsensual ("revenge") porn. Don't hotlink to adult content or to file-sharing, gambling, torrent, warez, or Imgur rip-off sites. Don't impersonate someone else. Also, don't use Imgur to host image libraries you link to from elsewhere, content for your website, advertising, avatars, or anything else that turns us into your content delivery network. If you do – and we will be the judge – or if you do anything illegal, in addition to any other legal rights we may have, we will ban you along with the site you're hotlinking from, delete all your images, report you to the authorities if necessary, and prevent you from viewing any images hosted on Imgur.com. We mean it."

Read that fine, and sometimes BOLD print.
