Photobucket fix for existing pics

Photobucket fix for existing pics - 01/05/18 01:54 AM

Photobucket has chosen to show you this block image instead of the original image. However, unless the user deleted their photobucket account, every old photobucket image is still linked on this website (and every other place on the internet).

There are Free Add-Ons available for both Chrome and Firefox, which will let you choose to see the original photo instead of the "ransom block" image, throughout the Internet.

For Chrome - chrome.google.com/webstore/deta ... aedg?hl=en

Then search for PHOTOBUCKET

for Firefox - addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/photobucket-fix/

With this, you can see everyone's old photobucket images in context on every thread and every website.

Uploading the patch, you're not doing photobucket any favors, giving them any money, agreeing with them - all you're doing is restoring your old knowledge base to where it was before the photobucket ransom

If you want to remove the add on later, go to Add-ons/Extensions and remove or disable it, or with Chrome, just right-click on your toolbar.


Works perfect for me! up

This fix only works for your viewing, right? It doesn't do anything for other viewers on other forums to allow them to see your pics that were on PB?

Correct. It just allows whoever installs the fix, to view Photobucket pics that are being blocked. Even picks that are really old, as long as the poster hasn't deleted them or their account. Obviously, no one should continue using Pbucket, but for pics that have been posted on this forum and any other forum over the years.....this allows them to be seen.
