Easy fix for Photobucket issue

PeterAllen · #1 (**permalink**) 08-19-2017, 02:16 PM

If you are using Google Chrome, install this extension and all PB images on any forum will reappear:

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/d...flicjjgj?hl=en

(edit)
Alternatively try this;

Open Chrome

Click on the rows of small horizontal lines located in the top right hand corner

Then click on "more tools"

Then on "Extensions"

Then "Get more extensions" if you already have some, e.g. Ad Block.

Type in "Photobucket embed fix" and hit the return key

A link to "Photobucket embed fix" extenstion should appear. Click on it and you are done.

Failing all that, go to "help" and find out how to load 'extensions' and then add extension "photobucket embed fix".

Rob, I've re-pasted the link and it seems to work now. If no luck see if you have any success with the edit instructions.

This will do one of two things: 1. Photobucket will tighten the reins even more or 2. Photobucket will give up on their policy since a simple "workaround" exists (I won't call it a hack).

This is happening because PhotoBucket wants to charge users to display images via external embedded links.

I suggest the real solution is not a Chrome or other browser extension that continually needs to be updated - the real solution is to stop using PhotoBucket. They're not the only game in town and other hosting sites aren't charging users for this functionality.
