No Images are Loading

As of right now, no image in any of my games is loading.  Those linked to Dropbox or Photobucket are simply not showing up.  Sad face.

Dropbox and Photobucket stopped offsite linking sometime ago.  Like 6 months ago I think?

I use Imgur.

In reply to evileeyore (msg # 2):

I was linking to Photobucket as recently as 48 hours ago.

Unless you've got a paid for account with Photobucket that allows 3rd party hosting, you were just squeaking by or had the pics cached in your computer.

They made a very big stink about not allowing third party hosting quite some time ago, and lost a huge chunk of their users.

If that's the case, there's nothing that can be done about it other than upgrade to their paid account (or address it with them if you have a paid account) ... or switch your pics to a new host and update the links.

After Photobucket canned their old CEO, they reinstated third-party hosting for old images. New images require a small payment, but all the old stuff should work just fine.
