Yup, it's unfortunate.
Their new policy will have wrecked threads on thousands of other sites affecting probably hundreds of thousands of users (if not more, in both cases).
I realize our forum photo uploading feature & albums aren't as user-friendly.
But the disadvantage of 3rd party sites is we have no control over what they decide to do. Some have gone completely out of business, and the photos went "poof" into the ether. That affected me directly, about 10 years ago, and I decided to only host my images directly on the forum. (Or on domains I control.)
I'm reluctant to do a query to find out how many thousands of photobucket images are now broken on EcoModder.
