    I don't see anything strange on the forums. And no, I don't think you should go to that website.

    Yeah, I'm seeing it too.
    A quick internet search seems to show Photobucket have changed their terms and conditions and no longer host images for free. I guess GS host images through photobucket? so this could be the issue.

    Thanks @Hopscotch and @DigiChain , yes i think your right , i just searched

    "Thousands of listings from online marketplaces like Amazon and eBay are now filled with unsightly error images by Photobucket after the photo hosting site quietly introduced a $399 annual fee to users who want to embed images on third party websites."

    Wonder if it is country specific? As I say, neither icons nor images in posts show this for me.

    Hopefully, this doesn't mean we've now lost a shedload of invaluable information via all of the previously-attached image files since well, whenever?... I'm assuming that GS will have to maybe just pay a fee once to regain access to this info, then move them to somewhere slightly more, well, ethical, and re-link.... $399?! - not $50, not $100, that is a royal P-Take.... Grrrrr....

    As for any possibility of my ever knowingly using them now after that underhanded tactic, holding images to ransom by not even giving a grace period for people to decide / do something about it if they don't want to be shafted?! - Well, Photobucket can go Phuck themselves...

    Hmmm, guess it's all over the internet today. Broke tons and tons of websites and images all over the internet with the new business model. Guess it's time to switch to using imgur or something.

    I'm not sure why yet, but I think that it's having an issue displaying the little filled in stars.

    It's because they are hosted on Photobucket, along with the Pro badges.

    @Socks Just finished reading through this thread, yep! I'll try moving them over to a different hosting site / update the links to see if I can fix it.

    I think GameSalad will have to pay Photobucket just the once to host any forum elements (like the stars or Pro badges), but forum users who want to use Photobucket will have to pay separately, of course no one is going to pay the $400, so I guess there are going to be a lot of forum posts with missing images.

    Its not even a one time payment , 400 $ / year , i doubt anyone would pay that much every year , not worth it .

    It's a new bowlboy puzzle set! The completion of the age is determined by your forum rank. The higher you are, the more pieces you'll have. :)

    Hmmm, I see. You must be pretty old and rank because you are even allowed to put your head in the bowl. :tongue:
