I switched to imgur. It seems to be ok. The only thing I do not like is to view my photos you have to click the link each time to view photos. I use to like the way photobucket allowed to show all the pics in the post. Well that ship has sailed 😡.
Big discussion in other posts on how to use imagur search around When you put it up here don't use hyper link icon it is one icon to its left it looks like a "Mona Lisa picture" post it inbetween those brackets that's the img brackets icon.. I think your using the url icon for hyper links.. that's why it left a hyper link..
