You definitley want to check with GoDaddy before you go that route. I have heard their TOS does not allow 3rd party hosting.

I have a website and sometimes host my pictures from there as well but not all web hosts like you to be doing 3rd party hosting from their servers so you have to check first.

Nothing I could see in their TOS that states you can't link your photos. Here's the direct path:

https://www.godaddy.com/agreements/showdoc.aspx?pageid=hosting_sa

**I am not affiliated with them, do no business with them, and am just passing this along as one of the many options for web hosting that are out there. Your mileage may vary.

Yes, I don't see anything either. I read about it on another site and I had not read the TOS yet. I like GoDaddy. That is who I do my site registration through.

EDIT: Just got out of a chat with GoDaddy and you can definitely use a website hosted by them to post 3rd party pics.
Godaddy currently charges $47.88/year for a Wordpress site if you prepay for 3 years. Domain registration is free if you do one of the hosting plans. It also comes with a user interface to upload instead of having to FTP everything. On my current site, I typically use FTP but it does have a cumbersome UI.

You guys are rock stars. I for one, appreciate all the effort being put into finding a solution for this problem. I'm lucky enough to open a search browser, let alone fix things like this. This is why I like this site so much. Great team work, great people. Thank you all.

Saw this on a different forum. Posted a few days ago in a different thread. It is working for me for Chrome and others have stated it works for them.

OK Folks! we can fix PhotoB! there are browser add ons for both Chrome and FF!

I just added the chrome one and it seems to work! anyone got a link to a thread that died of PB disease?

For Chrome:

this could I think be closed/dropped form sticky since they are allowing pics to show again albeit with some banner on it. just a thought.
