Its not that you need to pay Photobucket, but the problem has been caused by Photobucket.
For many years, Photbuggered hosted the pictures, of people all over the world, all of a sudden they decided to not allow the sharing of pictures by third parties ie OzSTOC unless you pay a huge amount. As a result, howtos trip logs , blogs etc are broken every where.
Its extremely difficult for our members to repair the damage, as most of cant remember all the threads that they have posted pics to, and where if at all, the originals can be found. To recover the pics from photsbebuggered is also not an easy task.
