First of all I would like to thank all of the helpful DIY folks that sacrifice their time so that others can benefit from their experiences working on their car. Thank you.

I find that a lot of older DIY guides no longer have pictures attached. When I check the source almost 4/5 times it was uploaded to photobucket and it has either run out of bandwidth or it was removed. This is unacceptable for a DIY.

Please, just use Imgur OR upload using the "Attachment" feature built into the forums. That way, all of the pictures remain semi-permanently. Imgur won't remove your pictures. The forum will definitely not remove them unless something catastrophic happens like a database crash, in which case a backup most likely exists, hopefully.

TL;DR
Please use Imgur to upload your images. Way too many DIY threads with missing pictures. As an alternative, use the forum attachment feature which allows for direct uploads.
