Photobucket and Signatures

[Soki]

Hi y’all,

We’ve noticed that some users here have their signature image replaced with the following message from Photobucket:



Recently, Photobucket has decided to disable free 3rd party hosting. This means you can’t use the images you’ve uploaded there on other websites, such as in your signature on Bulbagarden Forums. You can enable it by upgrading your account for $399.99 a year.

For those of you who think that’s a bit too much money, we recommend using another image hosting website that still has free 3rd party hosting. An example of this is Imgur.

Note that not everyone's signature images from Photobucket have disappeared yet. However, if your image(s) hasn't disappeared now, it will probably later, so we do recommend to start making the switch to another hosting website right now. Same goes for those who have their art or other images uploaded from Photobucket on the forums.

If anyone has any questions about this, feel free to ask them here!

So that's what happened to my Rainbow Cloud™ signature? Bummer.

You could probably ask him nicely to get it in Imgur form?

Soki how dare you ruin the magic.

We should have used Photobucked for our staff banners before everyone realized :^)

I actually recommend Giphy if you want to create your own gif. It's quick and easy and also is free

If you have a Diveantart account, you can upload images to share onto Sta.sh, I been doing this for over a year now since it's easier to use that then having to log into Photobucket every time I want to share an image.
