As per Soda, photobucket now charges $400.00 a year to use their account. People have discussed other accounts to try but I can't remember the names of them. Sorry.
Hi freydayswithzep, welcome to the board. The Photobucket message about updating the account is meant for the person posting pictures, not the person viewing them. B/c so many of us here have been using Photobucket to host our all our pictures, it's going to be a long process to re-post them using a new hosting site. I haven't tried posting any gifs with a new website yet. Just hang in there; hopefully you can see some again soon.

It's up to each user to upgrade their account.
The number of users willing to pay $400 to do that? I daresay it's zero.
That means each and every user will have to move every single photo over to a new image hosting server. I have hundreds of photos myself... it's a process that a lot of people, no matter how much they love the Eagles, might not be willing to spend the time to undertake.
I'm afraid we might be stuck with those images for the older posts especially. Whitcap posted those seven years ago and hasn't posted here in a while... I don't think moving those animations to a new service is on her mind.
Photobucket has really done a number on the internet.
You're right; I don't expect most of the pictures here will be replaced. I guess I was thinking more about recent pictures being re-posted, not the ones from long ago. Even so, I doubt I'll get around to re-posting all of mine. I'm going to try to do what I can, a little at a time.

Here are some gifs I created. I'm afraid they are not as good as Whitcap's. Also, I don't know how to make them avatar size. I guess that would be for the user to figure out.

Oh, come to mama! These are excellent. Thank you, D. This was more effective in waking me up this morning than 2 cups of coffee.
You're so very welcome!
