The photo storage site called "PhotoBucket" has changed it's TOS (Terms Of Service) to limit 3rd party sharing. Many of the posted photos here at MAC are links to Photobucket and consequently - MAC being a "3rd Party" - viewing those photos is blocked. By paying PB by becoming a member, releases those photos.
There is nothing that MAC can do about this situation except to urge readers and contributors to use other photo sharing sites - like Flickr - for photo storage. One may also directly attach your photos to your post.
If anyone has any smart ideas on a solution that would help us all in this matter - please post it!
Thanks
