Why do several of the old post's have reference to photo's that are now an empty box, with a small red cross in one corner??

Probably because they were hosted on the Fotopic site which went out of business earlier this year.

Or the photo owner has moved/removed them from the hosting site.
Thank you gentlemen, I suppose that means that anything posted on Photobucket, which I occasionaly use for any photo I wish to post on a forum, could go the same way?
Is a there a programme that can be downloaded onto my own laptop/PC that photo's can be put into and transferred to a forum site as easy as photo bucket?
Regards,
Brian.
It's possible that photobucket, or any other web hosting service, might go bust. I have never been entirely sure how some of these businesses make money, and building server farms and a network infrastructure is not free of cost.
One possibility might be Picasa and Picasa Web Albums. The former is a program which is installed onto your PC, and can be used to manipulate images. It can then upload to your web album, however although I use Picasa I haven't explored the web albums, so can't comment about ease of use. Picasa is a Google program, and so is much less likely to be shut down, I would expect.
