Free users of Photobucket are limited to 10 GB per month of band width.
i post Photobucket photos on numerous forums and have never had a problem. From the Photobucket website:
Bandwidth consumption is counted by the amount of data that is transferred from your account to other sites across the web. The size of the image or video will increase the amount of bandwidth you are using when linking them out to other sites.
