That's what I was thinking.
And for the last two weeks, I haven't been able to copy/paste the link from my Flickr pics to this forum. No luck posting any photos that way; the little right-curve arrow just doesn't show up any more when I select one of my photos in Flickr. I have a 'free' account with well under 1000 pics.
Anyone else having this problem?

What was the change on Flickr in which you disagreed?
Why are any of us stupid enough to trust strangers with our stuff? Seriously! No more picture hosting sites for me!

The limit on the number of pictures you could upload to bikeforums used to be smaller, so that's why I wasn't doing it for a long time. They increased it, right?
So I just tried it again. OK it works, but the site reduces the size of my picture.

I was about to start a thread on this topic - more or less.
The blank squares and munged fuzzed-out Photobucket images are the primary reason that I post criticisms. about Zombie threads.
Frequently most of the photos on those old threads are lost.
I upload direct to BF or use links to Flickr albums

The OP did not mention BF specifically. Some forums other than this do not let you upload directly from your computer. Hence the problem.

That's because nobody wants to pay to store 20MP photos that were blurry when they were taken, and don't get better when you zoom in. Resizing everything to 1200x1200 and at 60% quality would be more than adequate for posting on any forum.

Storage is cheap enough today that you don't need a hosting site. I keep all photos on a backed-up hard drive. No worries about "pay us for eternity or all the links you've posted will die."
It helps if you can face the fact that 90% of them aren't really worth keeping.
