    It's nothing on your end, actually (or even ours)--@ol' chebby originally uploaded the photos to a service called Photobucket, and the error message is saying that needs to update (read: pay for) his Photobucket account in order for the photos to continue to appear here, due to a recent change Photobucket made where they won't host photos for free anymore that are displayed on other sites (like here).

    The other option is he can re-upload them somewhere other than Photobucket and update his posts to point to the new service. For example, they can be uploaded and hosted directly here on the forums.

    Hmm. He hasn't been online in a while, so I'm going to try to go through and fix that thread myself (hope he doesn't mind). The first post is done now.

    The last I corresponded with Russ (Ol Chebby) he was starting on a 41 Ford so as enthused as he approaches a project he's probably got a "how to" going on it. A good guy and helpful so I's bet he's alright with making the photos available again. Does he hold the all time record for "views" of any thread?

    If he doesn't hold the record he should. The posts and pictures are great and have been a big help in my project.

    Sorry guys I haven't been here in a while....
    Holy crap, photo bucket wants $40/month to host 3rd party......
    If you can push them back up to this site, you have my blessings....hate for this to go away as that was a lot of work and I still refer to them myself!

    Welcome back!
    Thanks--I have restored all of the photos in the threads. They're hosted here now so they shouldn't go away again (and so you don't have to pay $40/month!).
