Re:
Kev,
None of the pics in the 2 threads you mentioned or anywhere else on the forum are fine, the thumbnails are displaying correctly in some instances but that's about it, when you click on any of thumbnails THIS is what you get.
By the way, your avatar and signature pics are dead too.

Re: PhotoBucket became a paid Photos Hosting Service
I know about the avatar and signature pics Jalal but when I click on the other pics in the thread they display in photobucket OK, though sometimes it takes a few seconds to load.
Dave, could you try clicking on one of the pics too and see what happens ?

Re:
EDIT:
I just tried accessing the thumbnail Dave posted and your 2 threads Kev using FireFox instead of Internet Explorer and they all worked fine for me. Seems like viewing the Photobucket thumbnails has been stuffed-up for IE users but in any case PhotoBucket is pushing out a lot of junk and spam adverts that you should try and stay away from until they figure out what they wanna do about enabling the 3rd party hosting.

Re: PhotoBucket became a paid Photos Hosting Service
One other difference is that my avatar and signature pics are direct http links where the others are thumbnail pics with embedded img http links.
Maybe it is the direct linking to the img that they are blocking ?

I think you're right there Kev, as all of the images I used for the forum which stopped working were direct links.

Re: PhotoBucket became a paid Photos Hosting Service
That makes sense because the thumbnail links still take you to their page which means you get to see their advertising (revenue generation) but the direct http links do not.
Now, is there a way we can use a thumbnail link in our avatar ?

Don't think so Kev, as the avatar field doesn't allow the use of coding in the URL. It needs to be a direct link only.
Try THIS website to host your avatar pic.

Re:
Yeah they did too. They're going down for sure with their blackmail tactic.
