Re: PhotoBucket became a paid Photos Hosting Service
The Photobucket problem was the way they allowed for direct links that showed full-sized pics without having to visit their website. This meant they did not get the advertising revenue which they relied on for their site. With so many users as they state they have then even $1/mth would have seen them rake in plenty of revenue and people wouldn't have minded.
Other free sites do not let you do direct linking and only give you a text link which you need to click and visit the site to view the pics. They get their advertising revenue but people prefer to have visible pics in their blogs and forum posts so it is not as attractive to them.
Flickr allows the direct linking, provided the link to Flickr itself is not removed and the pics have the appropriate Flickr recognition, as stated in their ToS.

Re:
Hi Dave,
You don't need to host or add the "contributing member" image to your Flickr account, as I have already had the codes for those pre-made and posted them HERE for everyone to use. Those images as well as my own avatar and signature pics are being hosted on the forum own servers, so they're not impacted by PhotoBucket.

Re:
Thanks Dave, it was done using a program called "Ulead Gif Animator" which I think I downloaded from the internet ages ago. Not sure if Flickr is capable of doing it.

Re: PhotoBucket became a paid Photos Hosting Service
Flickr didn't seem to like my "cheers" animated gif I used to have in my signature Dave, but not sure if it was a file size (as in dimensions) or file type problem.

Re: PhotoBucket became a paid Photos Hosting Service
It worked fine for me Kev and it even asks you for the output size option.

Re: PhotoBucket became a paid Photos Hosting Service
Yours is a 90 x 90 and my "cheers" is a 57 x 19 so I'm going to edit it to be the same 90 x 90 and see if that works.
