It seems that every single photo I ever posted from my photo bucket account is not showing up and shows the 3rd party updating thing.
Can somebody please help me to fix this. Id like to upload more photos in the future and post them as well as recover everything I posted.

How do I go about this. Thank you
 
Photobucket changed up a little while back. You now need to have their $400 a year membership to be allowed to post your pictures on forums and such.

Your old photos should still be on your photobucket account. You should also be able to download them to your computer if you don't have them save elsewhere.
As far as putting them back into your old posts, I don't know a way to do this besides uploading from a different medium and reinserting manually.

Speaking of different mediums, lots of folks recommend Imgur as a free hosting site. If/when you get a paid membership again, you'll be able to upload directly from your computer or smart phone. That's what I've been doing recently and it works fairly well on the new forum setup.
 
I've been using imgur. It's kinda a PITA to do it from a phone/tablet, but it can be done.
 
I use imgur... but I'm petty sure there was language referencing using the service strictly as a third party photo host. There was speculation by some that it could lead to the same thing happening there.
I don't like attaching all of my images, as there are unanswered questions, so I continue using imgur... but I periodically go back and edit out the IMG tags. (Realistically, how often are the images viewed once a couple of weeks have passed? And, if somebody really wants to see them, is as simple as clicking the link)
 
Hate to thread jack, but I'm having trouble with Imgur now. It says I've reached my storage limit and I'm curious as to whether anyone else have ran into this problem as well. I can add a picture, but now I have to delete some of my others.
 
Thanks for taking time to reply to the thread. Im going to try what you all advised. We will see.
