I just wanted to say sorry to anyone experiancing problems with images. At the moment they seem to be either taking a very long time to load, or even not loading at all.
Photobucket (where I host my personal images as well as images for this website) appears to be having alot of problems at presant due to what seems to have been a hack (though they're not confirming that on their forum).
To quote someone from there regarding the problem:
I wasn't redirected, but I found I couldn't upload any new images at all, and I still can't. However, I've also found in the last five minutes that I'm having problems with images loading on webpages (which I mentioned above).
If the problems continue for too long then I may be forced to use a different image host. But I hope not as Photobucket have always seemed the best to me, so I'm really hoping this is just a tempory glitch.

To quote someone from there regarding the problem:
On Tuesday afternoon, some users that typed in the Photobucket.com URL were temporarily redirected to an incorrect page due to an error in our DNS hosting services. The error was fixed within an hour of its discovery, but due to the nature of the problem, some users will not have access to Photobucket for a few hours as the fix rolls out. It is important to note that only a portion of Photobucket users encountered the problem and that no Photobucket content, password information or other personal information was affected by the redirect.
