I'm seeing a LOT of dead picture links in recent posts, and they all have one thing in common. The URL is postimg.org, which doesn't exist. If the URL were to use postimage.org, the pictures work, though.
I don't use that site so I can't tell you what's wrongs with it, but apparently their code to generate links to hosted pictures isn't right.
Don't know what to tell you about fixing it after the fact, either. It can be done, but it's cumbersome. Edit your post, switch to BBCODE view, and everywhere you see postimg, change it to postimage and save your edit. The pictures will appear as clickable thumbnails.
It could be fixed during the post, too, but again, you have to be in BBCODE view to see the raw codes and URLs.
Personally, I'd change sites. If your hosting site can't display your pics, what good are they?
