Dear Members,
PHOTOBUCKET POLICY - 6 JULY 2017
As many of you are aware, Photobucket has introduced a new policy that renders all its linked images from third party sites with a placeholder that reads "3rd Party Hosting has been temporarily disabled."
We believe PB account holders with photos stored on their image hosting site can still access their photos at Photobucket, yet these linked photos will no longer appear on 3rd party sites, unless of course account holders are actively subscribed to their Plus 500 plan at US$399.99 p/yr (as at 8 July 2017).
See here for more information:

As a result, a number of our valued homeone.com.au members are affected by Photobucket's new policy with their linked Photobucket photos no longer viewable within their posts and instead substituted with the aforementioned placeholder message.
We are sorry to all members affected by Photobucket's policy as we understand and appreciate all the time and effort applied to thoughtful preparation, selection and display of published photos at homeone.com.au (incl. all other 3rd party sites images are linked from such as blogs, websites, and not limited to).

PHOTO UPLOADS
In supporting any affected members utilising Photobucket as best as we can, we'd like to reinforce that homeone.com.au enabled the ability for members to upload photos directly to homeone.com.au earlier this year without the need to link out to another service provider.
Whether you're using a smart phone, tablet, or desktop you can quickly and easily upload multiple photos to any of your new or even currently published posts. See below:
