Not him, it's Photobucket. Night of Jun29 they changed their terms and told everyone it would cost $400 to share images as they had been doing for years. Stuff's broken all over the interweb because of it. Lot of hobby and how-to stuff is wrecked.

Same here. ****** them. So what alternative image hosting options do we have?

It's going to be a pain to fix each and every image reference. Argh.

I've use Flickr for years. They charge a yearly fee of about $25 for Pro accounts
But then I use it for online backup for family photos as well as hosting forum pix and photography is a hobby.

With a free account there are limitations. Might be worth looking into though.

Not sure of other alternatives.

I used to use Flickr Pro, created a new account recently for my build and found the free account has a free 1TB AND will generate BBCode for you... so yeah, VERY forum friendly.

ntoe on Flickr, IMGUR, Smugmug - they all work great, and work going forward as you go. But they all replace the filenames on your uploaded images. If you have a lot of previous images you are looking to go replace in old topics, it's going to be a gigantic pain in the rear try to match things up. Depending on how many old images you have to replace. I've got at least 1500++ across several years and forums.
I have not yet been able to find a service that will retain my file names. And am now casting about for some online storage space where I can upload that library of images and link to them. Might even wind up with my own domain and website hosting plan to do it.

A little hacky, but have you considered putting the filename in the title or caption prior to uploading to a new system? If you put it there I know Flickr will automatically read it and put it in the Title or Description fields. That would at least allow you find the appropriate file for replacing the Photobucket embed.

A quick and easy way to do this would be with exiftool. Works on Mac, PC or Linux. A simple command line tool it's incredibly powerful. To put the filename in the IPTC Caption field simply use this:

exiftool "-iptc:caption-abstract<filename" [path/to/file]

Obviously replace [path/to/file] with the actual path to the file.

If you want to do a whole directory or series of directories use:

-r [path/to/directory] instead of [path/to/file]
