*** FIX FOR HIJACKED MISSING PHOTOBUCKET IMAGES ****

[RobD]

Google Chrome and Foxfire have found a way to access the photos that Photobucket.com does not now allow you to post to 3rd party sites anymore without paying a high price.

The Firefox and Chrome browsers now have an optional "Photobucket Fix" Add On that will automatically disable Photobucket image restrictions on 3rd party hosting. 

This is a very good thing and it works well.  EVERYONE should install this to their Firefox or Chrome browser.

As long as the restricted images are still hosted on Photobucket, and they haven't been removed, this fix will now them to appear in forum and blog posts.

In the cases where former/current PhotoBucket users haven't deleted all their albums, Chrome and Firefox now have an extension, Photobucket Embed Fix, that will display 3rd party hosted images. It will fix all your broken pics, no need for you to do anything, it runs entirely in the background.


For Firefox browser users, goto to the upper right of the screen and click on the 3 horizontal bars ("Open Menu"), click on "Add-Ons", click on "Get Add-Ons", at the bottom of the screen click on "See More Add-Ons!".  A new page will open up, look for "photobucket embed fix", touch it with your mouse pointer and then click on "+ Add to Firefox" then "Add".

For Google Chrome browsers, type in "photobucket embed fix" in the browser search/URL bar and click on the "photobucket embed fix" link.

That's good, actually it's real good for those who still have a lot of photos on Photobucket's web site.

I know we have a lot of Members that were hard hit by what happened, and this looks to be a way for them to salvage some great old memories.

As for myself, I am tickled pink with IMGUR, and have to wonder why it took me so long to get there....
IMO, it is much more than Photobucket ever was, and since Photobucket pulled that little trick of theirs, I'm done, completely done with 'em.

Remember the old sayin; "fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice shame on me."....there ain't going to be no more fooling, it is what it is.

Still yet, I do appreciate you sharing this. 
There's a very good possibility this will be helpful to many people, especially many of our membership that has stuck with us for so long, and that is a good thing.
