Were they old posts? I haven't used photobucket in about 10 years. Back then many forums didn't allow users to upload pictures. Hosting sites like photobucket were the only option.

Your lucky you can at least see the pic. When Photobucket first made their business model change years ago, those previously viewable pics just showed up as a gray square.

photobucket was pretty good till they monetized it. there was a huge base upset and many left as i. many people even lost their pictures as they made it hard to take them off. i was fortunate to get mine mostly off, at one time they tried to force you to pay up but that backfired so now they will let them stand as old accounts but put the water mark in which to get rid off, you have to pay. some browser would not even display them unless you used an add-in as i had to do.
i use imgur now and screw photobucket.
