Anyone have any idea what this 3rd Party Hosting is all about?

Ah, below is a snippet of the new Photobucket Terms of Service as of the 28th day of June, 2017:

Visiting : There is no cost to visit the Site or to register as a Member.

Free account : Each individual Member gets one free account that provides 2 GB of free storage or space available for your original photo files, or videos under 10min. The free account does not allow any image linking or 3rd party image hosting. If a free account Member exceeds their Content Limit, their account will be immediately suspended and they will need to become a �Paying Member� (defined below) in order to continue accessing their account. You can upgrade to a Plus account at any time.

Ad-free Account : The Ad-free Account offers Members the ability to use the Site without seeing any third party banner advertisements when logged into your Ad-free Account (note, viewers of your images within Photobucket will see ads unless they, too, have Plus accounts and you will continue to see Photobucket offers and announcements). This account level is available for $2.49 / month, payable by the Member on a monthly recurring basis.

Plus Account : The Plus Account offers several paid options that may give the Paying Member more storage, bandwidth, 3rd party image hosting, image linking and/or other services as outlined below. Once and during such period of time in which you subscribe to and pay for a Plus Account, we will consider you a "Paying Member." Please note that all Plus Account subscriptions are billed annually at the commencement of the service. Photobucket may also offer a monthly billing option for its Plus Accounts (see terms and restrictions, below).
Available Plus Account Plans : Photobucket offers the following

Plus Account Plans:
o Plus 50 Plan: 52 GB of Storage for $59.99 / Year. The Plus 50 Plan does not allow any image linking or 3rd party image hosting.

o Plus 100 Plan: 102 GB of Storage for $99.99 / Year. The Plus 100 Plan allows for unlimited image linking but does not allow 3rd party image hosting.

o Plus 500 Plan: 500 GB of Storage and unlimited bandwidth for $399.99 / Year. The Plus 500 Plan allows for unlimited image linking and unlimited 3rd party image hosting.

It really chapped me when AutoCad retired their perpetual license & went to a month by month or year by year rate. As usual it is all about the Benjamins.

So are we done w/ Photobucket? Opinions?

I suggest posting with JPGBOX. That way the pictures always are available. With Photobucket, the pictures disappear when they are deleted from a user's account. That's the problems with viewing posted pictures from older threads, often the pictures are no longer viewable.

Above is what I see on all my images. But if someone else quoted or copied & pasted it I wonder if I could view it?

Wow, this photobucket thing is a real problem. I just recently upgraded to an ad-free account but that looks like it won't be good enough.

Canvas-Back:

Do you see my images? I still see yours & others. But to switch would just have be equivalent to a reserve chute as I have so, so many images there. I guess the 2 options are reference to photobucket account or hopefully there will be backlash & they'll provide a lesser option than the $399 U.S. of A. / year. It might not be worth a 10th of that for me? Let me know what y'all intend to do.

Images previously posted by Canvas-Back. All which I can view perfectly.

Canvasback,

Haven't you recently acquired a Diamond Grade? A full set of pictures on this thread would be a welcome addition.

After a quick review, I believe our current calculus is based on Nr. 796 being made in 1872, so a back-extrapolation of 18 guns per Mo. would put Nr. 275 into the 1869-1870 range of the first Lindner number sequence. If true, an interesting implication on the early Scott numbered guns.
