Photobucket pictures in threads - NEW INFO!

[Tim M]

Due to Photobucket changing their terms of service, we're about to have a bunch of broken links on the site. Going forward, you can still use Flikr (I've not tested it on this site though) or just use the inline "Insert Image" button so we don't have to rely on a hosting service to show our images.

Knew it would only be a matter of time till someone found a work-around to the Photobucket fiasco.

If you use Chrome for your browser, try this - works for me:

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

"Photobucket Hotlink Fix"


Alternatively try this;
​

Open Chrome

Click on the rows of small horizontal lines or triple dots 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 Hotlink fix" and hit the return key

A link to "Photobucket hotlink fix" extenstion should appear. Click on it and install. When done, go to your extension listing page and make sure it is enabled.

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

​

To those with Photobucket accounts - You'll need to determine whether you want to continue to use them or not. I think they've shown their hand but it's your call. Imgur.com seems to be a viable alternative. We are also working on improving the club gallery but that is not an immediate fix.
