Mods apologies if posting this isnt allowed.. I just thought many BM'ers would appreciate this workaround.
Gents, Ive been trying to look at some of the excellent models in some of the older Group build albums, I was perturbed to see that photobucket had wiped out large chunks of the image galleries
A bit of googling found me on reddit looking at the musings of many a disgruntled forum user, they posted this chrome extension
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/photobucket-hotlink-fix/kegnjbncdcliihbemealioapbifiaedg
Now I've added this to my browser (not sure if a version exists for firefox etc.) I can happily look at images on here without coming across the dreaded ''please upgrade your account to third party hosting''
Cheers chaps!
