What the hell happened to Photobucket?

I wanted to link a pic. But when I do, it links my entire album, so anyone can press forward and backward buttons, and see all the pics in my album. I wanted to link just to the one pic, to illustrate a point here on SDMB.

I’ve done this before with PB, and it worked fine. Now? Not so damn good!

What’s another good (free) photo sharing site that does this the right way?

If I want to post a pic to a forum, I always use [imgur.com](http://imgur.com). They handle most of reddit’s photo posting so your pic wont’ get blocked because of bandwidth limits, which has become the norm with photobucket. I have no idea if it’s good for maintaining photo albums or any other frills.

Thank’ee! I’ll sign up with them!

(Oops, also, this was supposed to be in IMHO, not Café Society.)

Moving your thread to IMHO, as you wanted it.
