Ok now we can't get on photo bucket can someone find another free photo hosting site that is easy to use.
Tried tinypic and it doesn't like my email address so I can't register.

So when someone can sort this debacle out and us people who are not computer literate can work it I have lots of pictures to post.

Gordon, I have moved to flickr...Little bit more fiddly but with a bit of trial and error I have worked it out.

Looks way too complicated

The thing to do is set up an account for your tortoises only, mine is called JerryMaffz, and only add tortoise pictures as a free flickr account has public access.
Upload in the same way you would in photobucket, then go to the photo you want to share.
At the bottom right of the image is a curved arrow icon, you need to click that.
Choose the BBCode and copy the link. (you can choose size on the dropdown, I use Medium)

Paste to the post you are making but (now the tricky bit) .
The only bit of the code you need is everything up to, and including [/url]...Everything after this generates flickr icons etc and can be deleted.

Sounds much more complicated than actually doing it.

What's happened with Photobucket are they finished? Can it be done with Google Drive?

Photobucket have changed their T&C's without prior warning, effectively holding their account holders to ransom to the tune of $399 and leaving all current links void.
....and for that reason...I'm out!

test - Google Drive didn't work though the link did and you can click the link to see the photo but not ideal :/

I didn't have much worth keeping anyway. I also found it crashed a lot

I had lots of work images on there....took me a day to re-host website material. Not to mention losing every forum image.
