Sorry, gals & guys. I've hosted several images on Photobucket to use on HuntingNut. On 28 June 2017, Photobucket changed their policy and to use their website to post to 3rd party forums, there is a $399/year fee. It will take me some time to recover. I'm glad HuntingNut allows us to post images direct to the website. I wish I had use it in all cases. Again, I apologize that Photobucket's Upgrade Notice is polluting our fine website.

Dallan, is there anyway to upload images on HuntingNut and have a link to the image similar to Photobucket.

People on another gun forum are recommending postimages.org
Sounds like a good host site which is easier to use as well.
Photobucket can go pound sand.

I never used photo bucket but every user has access to a photo album here, both personal and we have a general bucket here for "articles" etc.

Upload the pictures to the appropriate forum, after its uploaded you can just right click it and copy the address then use that in any future posts. We already have a bunch of article images for your posts from a while back.

I can also manually upload large amount of images into a non-browsable folder, that would I could give back the link addresses to. I have loads of pictures I throw into misc folders that I know the link to and use, that arent generally viewable by the website.

Thanks, Dallan. I may get back to you but I'm all tied up for the next 10 weeks.

DB, I think that is what is happening. No one is going to pay $400 a year for a service that has been available at no cost for years.

Plus some geek (this is said as a compliment) has already created a Photobucket fix it site.

I've been waiting for this to happen. I think the same thing is going to happen to the "Cloud" servers too.

Its going to be cheaper to get your own hosting and just manage pictures yourself. Your own site would have relatively light traffic and you could get away with a pretty cheap plan.

I think photobucket was $40.00 not $400 but still too much. Thanks Dallan for hosting this place.

Dawgdad, you are off by a factor of 10x! I can't believe that PB thinks they are going to survive this. I think a lot of folks are giving them the ..l..
