Is something up with the site's Photos?
Shadowfox:
So I've been noticing about 90% of the images on TCP seem to be down. I'm guessing this is a site storage issue?
(Or is it just me?) ???
Quazimoto:
Probably a Photobucket issue. Photobucket recently had a policy change and has started to charge users for sharing photos. Can still view them on the Photobucket site, but gots to pay up to have them viewable on other sites now.
Shadowfox:
Ah! So! What is a good alternative for Photobucket?
Quazimoto:
I personally use Imgur and really like it.
Other folks have used Flickr and seem pretty happy with it.

imgur is good for posting thumbnail or sample images, but like photobucket, it compresses images which creates pixel artifacts and reduces quality. For sharing full resolution images, the most popular choices are mediafire and box.net. People also use Google Drive and OneDrive which also don't reduce image quality.
