""If you have visited a website recently that displays images hosted on Photobucket , or are embedding images hosted on Photobucket on your own , you may have had a rather rude awakening one day as Photobucket decided to block these images from being displayed on third - party sites.
All Photobucket images hosted on third -party sites, at least from what we can tell , are replaced by a dummy image . It reads : Please update your account to enable 3 rd party hosting . For important info , please go to www. photobucket .com / P 500 .
According to some users that we spoke with who are affected by this , this happened without prior notice or any form of warning on Photobucket ’s part
Photobucket defines third -party hosting ( what is with using 3 rd instead of third ?) as embedding an image or photo on another website . This includes embedding photos on forums , eBay, Etsy , Craigslist or another other site on the Internet that is not Photobucket . com .
When you open the referenced page on the Photobucket website , you are informed that you may restore the third - party hosted content by becoming a Plus 500 subscriber.
A Plus 500 plan allows for unlimited third -party hosting , and provides members with other benefits such as an ad -free browsing environment on the Photobucket site, priority customer support , or full resolution photo storage .
Photobucket offers three paid plans to members, but only the most expensive plan supports third - party hosting of images . It is available for $ 39 .99 per month , or at a discount when billed yearly for $ 399 .99 .""
