That's intriguing...I use Photobucket for all my banners and they're all still showing on all the third party sites I post at. So, maybe you are right about it depending on what country you're in?
@ divine; Yeah, It might be the country I'm in? Im not sure, like my pictures are all still there but the links only show the weird 'third party' thing, the terms and conditions are telling me if I want to link pictures, I have to buy an account and pay a monthly sub. Not happeninggggg, haha.
That's super weird because I recently used Photobucket to link images and they're still there. Regardless, the websites linked below are also really good alternatives to photobucket.
imgur is a good website, you can even upload your things without an account though i'm guessing you want to keep track of all of your images and banners too so you can definitely make a free account to store all of your images in one place. There's also tinypic but i've never really used it.
