As you all may be aware, for that past month I've been complaining that I don't see the images that were posted through Imageshack. It seems that Imageshack has changed its policy, and is banning anyone is not registered from seeing images hosted by them, in effect an IP ban.
Since Shipbucket is entirely dependant on image-hosting for our drawings, maybe we can all use other sites other than Imageshack.
Frankly, the name of Shipbucket sprung from the use of Photobucket, and I've had no problems with them. Good imagehosting sites apart from Photobucket are Tinypic, Imagevenue, Imgur and Rightload, all of them don't IP banning techniques, to force users to register.

Majhost.com is also a good alternative.

As I understand it, all European Union countries, USA, Canada and Australia (probably New Zealand as well) do not have this problem.
