Any reason why I can't view images on this forum that members have posted from Photobucket? It seems that I can't view them from the web, either. Any suggestions?

A couple of years ago, Photobucket held their users ransom. If they didn't pay an outrageous third-party hosting fee, all of their image links were severed. After which, not everyone took the time & effort to update their posts using a different hosting site. This had an effect on the entire web.

So, no way to view these fabulous images without paying for it?

There’s some app you can download makes to see them again

If the original poster has not payed the Photobucket ransom, they are blocked from anyone, including themselves from viewing the images. This has caused many bloggers to jump ship and go elsewhere without bothering to re-link their original posts. ... Sad.
