Photobucket has been playing up for some time now, looks like its been hacked by advertising spam of some sort.

word is its something to do with the terms and conditions and 3rd party hosting violates the terms, you have to update the account to some unlimited account thats about 300 dollars, sounds like daylight robbery to me, ive posted a lot of pics, some which might help others so i am dowloading then while i can, i might try flickr instead.

I stopped using photobucket years ago when I bunch of pics just disappeared into thin air...its shite.

Been using Flickr ever since and it's always been spot on. Thoroughly recommend it.
