This may be a problem with my computer or browser, but on a lot of forum threads or people's profiles, images will come up as requiring third party hosting to be viewed (usually offering a photobucket link). I've disabled my adblock and checked my account settings as it says to update my account, but nothing seems to be working.

Hm. Well, that wouldn't be anything directly related to our Site.
However, I do know that Photobucket has gone full.... awfulness... and no longer let's people view pictures without going through hoops.
If I had to make an educated guess, you're viewing forum posts where people are linking to their photobucket account, but for some reason your device is trying to preemptively access those links or load those links and it's triggering that warning.
Edit: Or maybe you have a high security setting on your browser and it's triggering that
Can you link me a specific post that's triggering this so I can take a closer look?

The first post on this page is an example, https://www.sylestia.com/forums/?thread=4594&page=7
The second image on Britt's profile also comes up with that error warning. https://www.sylestia.com/view/users/?userid=23325

This is just what I see:
It doesn't display any warnings or pop ups.
My guess is maybe you have a browser extension or security setting that's triggering it.

Yeah, that's what I meant. It's the error message on the picture itself, which I'm guessing is the photobucket thing since I've disabled all my adblocks and it still doesn't work.

Ohh... okay.
Yea, that's just photobucket being a jerk. Nothing can be done about that.
They're blocking the picture from displaying b/c I guess whoever's account it's on isn't a premium account lol...
Seems to be a surefire way to have your image hosting business burn to the ground, but each to their own I guess.

It sucks that images posted from Photobucket no longer can be seen, and now people are mad.
Hopefully half of the images that I've posted on things will be back in the future.
