I guess I need to do this to enable me to see pics. What does this mean?? Is this something I do on Photobucket? I clicked on the address and it took me to a half a page that wouldn't finish loading. HELP a computer idiot!!

Ahh, photobucket. They are now wanting to charge huge sums of money to let people share photos. Most people are just moving away from them to other places.
You can upgrade your browser to see pics for a while. If you have stuff on Pbucket, I'd suggest you back up everything to your home computer and then find another place to host them.
Go here http://www.earlycj5.com/xf_cj5/index.ph ... st-1358305 and read how to see Pbucket pics with a browser enhancement. This is only a temporary fix - I think the hole that Pbucket left for this will end in 2018. But you have a chance to transfer your pictures to another location, or save pictures from threads that have been killed by Pbucket's Kamikaze attack on the internet.

Yeah, photobucket is in their death throes. They are looking to capitalize as much as they can. Actually bought linkedin premium to message the CEO saying they'll get nowhere by asking Joe Commenter to pony up 4 bills to have his photos on a site, and instead they should ask the site for like $2,000. I'm pretty sure 100 of us would pony up $20. I heard nothing back.
Just seems insane to me that they have so much in equity and are going to lose it. The people who have made / are making the posts are their value. The forums should be their money maker, because the forums don't need to pay for that hosting cost. And because they buy in aggregate, they have it for less than the forums could and they make money on the margin. Win-win.
Don't think they've reacted in time though. And they're over.
Right - the file has to be hosted somewhere. That requires disk space. Disk space costs money. Pbucket decided they weren't making enough on advertising, so they changed their policy and now ask their users directly to pay for storage space as "third party hosting." This is stored by you, hosted by Pbucket, and visible at a third location on the internet (the "third party.")
Some forums will host your pictures as part of the "service" of the forum. That's what attachments are. Again, this costs money for storage space, which some sites defer using embedded advertising (JeepForum, for example).
Your IP typically provides some online storage along with the service. I know that Comcast does here. You can buy "cloud" storage at places like DropBox.
It is also possible to set up your home computer as a server, or to buy an IP address and storage on an existing server farm. Again, this comes at a (possibly negligible) cost. I use the server at my work, which is ok for me ... for now.
Anything free comes with no guarantee.

You have to be a member to see it, any chance you could copy and paste it here?
I would like to try to fix a few of my threads...
Tapatalk is awesome, but don't cover all bases for me. I can't use it on ifsja to fix my sales thread...
I have had good luck with https://cubeupload.com It is free and works well. I only use it forums and such. Not as my primary photo site. Here is a pic I have on it

I've asked the sysop at ECJ5 to make it visible. That would be better than me cutting and pasting the thread. We'll see...
<time passes>
Got a response - he's on it. He can't make the forum it's in visible, but he's trying a work-around.
<time passes>
Another response from the sysop. He's planning to mirror the thread to a public forum on ECJ5, but he wants to check with the owner of the forum and thread contributors ... waiting ...

Imgur is free...at least it is today.
I am hoping it does not go the way of Photobucket.
I pay for a commercial Dropbox account, so maybe I need to investigate hosting pics from there.
