So I am getting this message from photobucket that they will no longer host third party photo hosting.
I do not mind paying some but their rate for third party hosting seems pretty expensive to this cheap guy.
What other options do I have and what are their fees??
Thanks Roy

I moved to Postimage for regular photos and Tinypic for avatars. Finding an Avatar host proved to be the hardest part as many sites will host regular linked pics (e.g Postimage), but very few will host avatars (likely take way more bandwidth)
Others have moved to imgur and flickr. There are a bunch of threads going on this.

Deleted my account. Hence no more avatar for me right now.

There is only one actual solution to this issue and it's not simply switching over to another freebie site. Think about why this happened with photobucket. Then consider that it will happen with the next popular free host.
Buy a domain name (I use godaddy) about $1/month Procure a hosting service (I use site5.com) starting at a few bucks per month. I haven't shopped for a few years though. Learn to use an FTP program. Enjoy freedom.
