So Jeff, your Blackbird photo will not show in this thread unless you pay Photobucket $400 for hosting them?

I am reading that right on the threads about 3rd party hosting?

So my photobucket is not free? And/or it is a trial account? and will not show your photos in this thread that were taken off by Photobucket?

How do "turn on" 3rd party hosting? And what is the best way to post photos of my airplanes? Just in the threads themself?
