Hi everyone, you may have started noticing signatures 'breaking' (or rather displaying a photobucket default 'warning against linking'). Basically, in order to use photobucket-hosted images elsewhere (including GW, but also your alliance forums), they require you to pay 400$ a year. Ridiculous, of course.
The above article tells you more about this scurrilous practice.
Personally, I am fond of imgur.com, a site that (for now) still does what photobucket once did. I recommend downloading your pictures from Photobucket and setting up an imgur.com account.
Photobucket-links will soon be removed from all signatures, as they are breaking the forum's look.
Kind regards,
Support

This is the second mass extinction of sigs and graphics forum/blog content, after Imageshack changed its address from .us to .com few years ago.

Re: Photobucket and Signatures
Yes, although this is relatively easy to remedy (no need to go link-hunting like with Imageshack). As album owner, you are still able to see and download your images.
If you happen to be looking for a solution, you can try this: go to photobucket, download all your images, and host them elsewhere.
Regardless, it is a shame and a somewhat strange decision by them.

Re: Photobucket and Signatures
And with this, I have now deleted both of my photobucket accounts, because they're useless.

Re: Photobucket and Signatures
Please peeps convert over to imgur for sigs or remove the photobucket ones as they are clogging up the forums and lets not forget that there is a rule in place for sig size and I don't personally wanna have to enforce it in the market place if I dont have to. I know it may seem like a pain to do however I did it and it took me maybe 10mins tops to do.

It's not exactly hard to do....
And it's not like people haven't had warning.

I found old pictures from the UK meet up in 2007 uploaded to imageshack still displaying fine on these boards. Gotta say, I was astounded actually.
But yes, all these broken photobucket images are very annoying. Especially yours Kikaz

Re: Photobucket and Signatures
