The images could all be moved to another photo hosting site, but this is time consuming and not an easy process, so I am holding off for a little while longer, in the hope that PB will sort this out.
Fingers crossed we have our lovely looking sites back soon!
1 week in and Photobucket is still down! This is affecting the way the forum displays, you will find many broken images right across the forum and fansite. I have replaced all our header and footer images so at least the front / landing pages look fine.
Photobucket have not given any info regarding a fix date, which is frustrating and worrying, and really unacceptable especially as we are paying customers. We can only hope that this is not a bigger issue affecting the future of Photobucket.
