Photo bucket have found and countered that extension-fix. Sussed it. I spend most of my browsing time on a tablet - so the Chrome fix doesn't wok there. Still visible on the computer I use for photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to inform that during last about two months I uploaded all my photos of models presented in RFI once more, this time to Flickr and I have changed links in all my RFI threads to Flickr. It was almost 300 models and 3000 photos! This is I think the only reasonable way how to rescue or restore threads affected by new PB regulations. Still I have three threads on WIP left to restore. The WIP threads are more labour - there is a planty of figures and the their sequence is also important. But I am going to do this as well. I am kindly ask evrybody to do such work, to keep old threads available. The total amount of threads, vast amount of different models and data about them and possibility of access to old ones is a big value of such forum as BM! Cheers Jerzy-Wojtek Cheers Jerzy! Although it's quite labourious, I am slowly doing the same thing. I kept bookmarks to my WIP and RFI threads and this is where I'm devoting my energies. Unfortunately, I have no clue about the hundreds of pictures that I've posted in other people's threads - these links will end up broken until I either stumble across them or someone lets me know. Maybe the forum software guys can write a script that finds all of my posts with a Photobucket link in a thread not started by me - should be a bit of cake. Just software, you know? Cheers, Bill 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drift Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Hi To fix the issue in photobucket, you may also try this: Firefox: https://addons.mozil...fix/?src=search Chrome: https://chrome.googl...nflicjjgj?hl=en Oops!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John_W Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Unfortunately I can't download this at Work without Admin Privileges and IT are not going to download it for me without querying it. Doesn't work for my phone either. I have had Flickr for years but didn't use it because it was a pain. They seem to have tweaked it and made it more user friendly now.

keefr22 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Seems the money grabbing pirates at photobucket have caught up again. The extension appears to have stopped working.... Wonder if the management there realise just how much they are hated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I noticed that earlier. It may end up being a game of cat-and-mouse, with the Add-On adapting to overcome the latest technique by PB.... or it might just be that the loophole in their code has been fixed and that's it. Time will tell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Give the guy a few days/weeks to see if he can suss it out, and maybe try again? Like I said... the window of opportunity may well have passed, which will be a shame. I suppose they were bound to cotton on eventually, even if they didn't see it online, they'd notice all that data still being used and start questioning where it was going. On a related issue, I wonder if the price-point was set so high because they knew they'd lose a LOT of members, and a correspondingly large number of page impressions from people maintaining their online photos? I also wonder if their advertising sales have taken a hit now they're not the big player they used to be? I do hope so 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plasto Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Any fix around anyone does will only ever be temporary. PB have made a call and will enforce it. As soon as a fix around is found it gets circulated on the web PB pick up on it and it gets closed down. I don’t think PB will have a change of heart anytime soon nor make it easy to get your images off their site. I just think of PB as dead to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FZ6 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I noticed that last week the add on I had stopped working and found one called Photobucket Hotlink which seems to work.

JWM Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 I've just got e-mail from PB: Join the 3 million consumers and business owners that trust and continue to stay with photobucket for all their photo hosting needs. Here is why: Unlimited 3rd Party Hosting with Zero Restrictions Fixed Price with no hidden charges Easy to use -- grab an embed link with two clicks Secure all images with HTTPS links with support for auction sites Ughhh..

I'm presently using Smugmug, but am looking for a good, (and free), alternative. Flickr isn't an option with the laptop I use 99% of the time.

perdu Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Me? I use postimage.org, it is normally very quick to load although it slows down on the odd occasion I have uploaded and then posted images in seven minutes from taking the photograph I have known photocrap take twenty minutes to fully load its page, before I got to use the upload facility I do not miss using pb at all, but I have a mate who is very happy using smugmug I hadn't realised it was a pay service though I have flickr but I never feel I have control, so I don't use it much these days Village pictures gets 'good press' too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks H I found a French site called HostingPics, which is free and as far as I can tell has unlimited upload volume. My French isn't fantastic, in fact Il est merde, but the layout is pretty much like any other and a bit of logical thinking enabled me to use it without resorting to translations. (There is an 'English' button, but it doesn't work on my laptop) Hope that helps, Reargaurds, Badder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Gordon Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 A little while ago I started working my way through the sites suggested here.I'm now inclined,as an ex PB dependant, to spread my meagre output as widely as possible so that one single provider can't make my whole day interesting. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
