3rd party hosting

A lot of threads with photos have a message where the photo should be that says please update your account to enable 3rd party hosting. How do I do that? I haven't been able to find anything under user co unless I am missing something.
 
All those missing images are stored on Photobucket, which used to let people set up free accounts, save images, and then link to those images on other sites, such as NAXJA. Suddenly, Photobucket changed its terms and won't support such links unless the account holder pays $400 per year. So all those links went "poof!" and there's nothing anybody can do to fix it except the original poster, at a cost of $400 per year. So all those missing images are as good as gone forever. Which sucks.
 
Photobucket has done their best to singlehandedly break the internet.

May they go down in flames as the textbook example of failure.
