I have all my important builds saved in there!
That's why I upload all my pictures to HERE. That way, as long as this site exists, and the server never dies without a backup, anybody visiting this site will see all the images I uploaded. I can't count the number of times I got fed up and annoyed viewing dated forum topics (on this and many other forums) and all you see is "Missing Image" placeholders. It usually happens when there's an image or tutorial I REALLY need to see.
Man... there's a life beyond RC...

Indeed, and I'm a member of several forums beyond RC and they all have this problem.
I haven't done a thing in RC for months. That should be obvious.

I can recommend PB now again - only with AdBlock, though

I'm just getting this today after receiving a spam email from Imgur about how animals would look if their eyes were on the front; clicked the link and...
Not good. Might have to scrap that account, too.

I do...every single image in every one of my build threads is uploaded here.
The ONLY reason I created that Imgur profile is so I could have a signature image over on
http://www.turbobuick.com. That forum, weirdly, only lets you use a hyperlinked image in your signature.

How could you max your imgur account out if all your stuff is on rc10talk... that's one hell of a big avatar you must have for the buick forum
(just busting your b..ls)
Good luck with the new solution
and thanks for showing that imgur isn't the panacea after all.
btw PB with adblock is a peach
I recommend it fully now!

Did they change their app for Android that anyone knows of? I can no longer access my library from my phone, nor is my photobucket app an option when I hit the share button on a pic I take. I'm not sure if they changed something or if I screwed something up while I was drinking Saturday night...
