At the end of June Photobucket changed their services to no longer support 3rd Party Image hosting on all but there top-tier Photobucket Plus 500 Subscription.
This means that you are unable to embed photos on forums and the like unless you subscribe to the Plus 500 plan at $39.99/mo or $399/yr.
If you had a Plus account of any level prior to June 1, 2017 you can still use 3rd party hosting through Dec 31, 2018 as long as you keep your account in good standing.

It remains to be seen if other imaging hosts such as flickr and imgur will follow suit.
