Everyone is probably aware that all our forum images had gone missing for just before Christmas.  This is because Photobucket, our official image sharing service provider, had their hosting servers down for over 2 weeks.  This had affected our forum significantly.  To resolve the issue in a timely fashion, we had switch to a new service provider ImgBox (https://imgbox.com) for image hosting for the time being.  Hopefully, Photobucket will come back online; otherwise, we will use ImgBox moving forward.

We will wait for a little bit more to see if we can get all our images back on the forum.  If not, we will gradually replace major images with a new link.  Please bear with us.

PS: We also had uploaded new images to our more recent posts, so please revisit them to look at them.

Just an Update!
Seems like Photobucket is getting back to normal... slowly!  Still cannot access our images online, but the links seem to work fine now.

Please report if there are any missing images.  We will try to sort them out.

Sorry for the issues that Photobucket had brought us!

Hello Rubicon! 

Merry Christmas!

I’m not familiar with imgbox, is this your own in house image hosting program?

How does it work, I’ve searched the forums and have not found a tutorial on how to post images, TIA :)

I have always posted my images on my blog and then used the img tags (the "Mona Lisa" icon on the Post Reply tools) with the url copied from my blog.

So does the "Add image to post" not work?
