Mine does the same thing, I got the mobile site working really well though.

I used to do that on Myspace until they changed their hotlinking policies. And resized all photos to 640x480.

I've had no problems with Photobucket, other than being slightly irked that I was TOLD that I was paying for a dedicated directory. http://www.photobucket.com/SPRTUSA/ works, but photo links aren't in /SPRTUSA, they are in, as Strong Bad once said, something full of Linux.

More likely they're in something full of MySQL :)

Re:facebook hosting - the image URLs apparently rotate over time, or maybe after enough linked bandwidth is burned. After awhile, this breaks the link, making it a poor solution in addition to everything already mentioned.

Right now, I use google photos. No issues so far, but who knows when they're going to deactivate that and move on to the next thing.

I have no issues with my unpaid photobucket account. Every thing else I have tried truly sucks. In ten years I haven't used a tenth if the space available.
