Image hosting on Photobucket?

Question

I apologize in advance if this sounds like a really stupid question but I am really technologically challenged... 

OK, so on this fan fiction site, our banners need to be "hosted" on Photobucket or imageshack for them to work. So I uploaded my banner onto my userpage at Photobucket but on the fan fic site, there is a little box where the banner should be, saying "this image has been moved or deleted"

So, here's the question: 1) when I "upload" a picture onto Photobucket, is that the same thing as hosting it? 2) Is there something else I'm doing wrong?

Thanks so much in advance for whatever help you can give!

Upload a pic from ur computer to Photobucket. Once it's finnished it sorta "lives" at the Photobucket account. That's what is refered to as hosting. 
On the website that u want ur banner on just look and see what kind of code u can put it there, and choose it from below the pic in Photobucket. It'll tell u if its an html or what. 
See the thing is- if you put in more pics after it, and then decide u dont want them, and delete them- u can mess it up so that the pic wont show up on the website u choose.
The reason is that they sorta link themselves together, depending on where their stored. (It'll actuall pop up a box and warn you- Moving will disrupt..yadayadayada) Make a special folder on the side for ur banner, and then move it in there. Then take the new code and put it on the website where u need it to be. This way it wont be disturbed and will always show up.

Yes, it's the same thing.  Once you upload the photo, Photobucket is hosting your image.

Yes it is the same thing.

You need to keep your image in the same file place, so that on photobucket it wont appear to be moved or deleted.

Hope I helped in some way. =P
