Say what??????? Kidding, right? NOPE
If you have visited a website recently that displays images hosted on Photobucket, or are embedding images hosted on Photobucket on your own, you may have had a rather rude awakening one day as Photobucket decided to block these images from being displayed on third-party sites.
All Photobucket images hosted on third-party sites, at least from what we can tell, are replaced by a dummy image. It reads: Please update your account to enable 3rd party hosting. For important info, please go to www.photobucket.com/P500.
Tip: We have published a Photobucket alternatives guide for users of the service who are looking for an alternative.
According to some users that we spoke with who are affected by this, this happened without prior notice or any form of warning on Photobucket's part.
