i noticed that alot of times photobucket is down, and when members link their pics to a post with photobucket and photobucket is down then there is no pic - so i recommend that members use the manage attachments options below the box that opens for inserting a new post, that way the pics will always show up unless the forum is down and then no ones on it anyway - but when you use the manage attachments options it stores a picture on the forum files so its always there
