I had a Photobucket account years ago and quit using it. I am not even sure I could log an any more. That's the trouble with relying on these commercial sites. They can change things on a whim or go out of business and you are screwed.

Even the larger ones can do it. I use Dropbox and you used to be able to put audio files, photos, or documents in the public folder and link them. Earlier this year they changed that and you can't do it from a free account. That broke all the links for anything I had already posted.
