Yeah I'm going to download all mine. I'll probably just host them myself.

I found that the download album feature wasn't working. Convenient yes!!
The images are still hosted at the bucket for now. Right clicking on their advert and opening in a new tab will show the image.
I would consider a web host myself as the best option too. I probably won't though. Holding tight and seeing what comes of it all.
Would be a shame for all the good threads we've done to go to waste

Jeff already has the server running to host this site. I'm not sure how much storage space he has on it. The Forum platform allows for a certain amount of images to be uploaded too, but it generally isn't a lot.
Paying a small subscription for a private host is probably the best option. Thinking about it, most internet service providers would give you a certain allocation of webspace along with the account. Not sure if this still happens or not.
Ya me to. I had complete tear down and assemble pics of engines on another dirt bike forum.
If someone come up with a good solution I am all ears.

ADVRider is going insane right now. Nearly every build thread, tutorial, and diagnostics walkthrough is in pieces. It's beyond frustrating. I'm wondering how long before someone starts a class action lawsuit on this. I'll bet it is winnable.
Smugmug is another great hosting site. It's privately owned by a motorcycle fanatic. No real great reason to use it over any of the other options. But if I had to choose to give my money to a corporation or to a private motorcycle guy I won't have to think twice.

This was just posted on ADVRider. Might be worth looking into.
A good citizen of the internet wrote a web-based tool to copy all of your photo bucket images to Amazon S3 and update your forum posts to use them from there.

Wow...had no idea. That's really lame
For anyone interested, I've been using www.pbase.com for close to 10 years now. I web-process all our images to reduce file size before uploading; costs us around $100/year to host ~4Gb of images (just checked and we have 72,000+ images in various galleries).
It's not the most elegant solution out there, but it's been reliable and all of our out-of-state family likes it as they can see what we've been up to.
Glad to see someone providing a workaround for images hosted there.

It's over
Sorry everyone, Photobucket has blocked this host from fetching images. Converted images will continue working, but no new images can be converted from here.
If you'd like to migrate away from Photobucket you can download your albums and bring them elsewhere.

If you can't download them: right click the image -> save image as, would a lot easier option than screen shots.
I just got an e-mail from photobucket to upgrade my plan. Cost $400!!
That's the same thing that I got.

What a load of BS. I downloaded my albums today too. I had a complete engine tear down sticky. Not sure if it is worth editing the entire thread or starting a new one.
Looking for a good source to host if anyone found one that is pretty good...
