I was so disappointed when Photobucket stopped free hosting of linked images. If you're using Chrome browser, there is a fix.
All those Photobucket images that were gone and replaced by their 3rd party hosting message are now back!
- Select Settings on the far upper right of Chrome.
- Select "More Tools", then "Extensions"
- Scroll to the bottom of the screen, select "Get more extensions"
- In the Play Store, download "Photobucket Hotlink Fix"
