@Sandra Apparently there is a way around this but not sure how long it will last for. If you edit the photo link and add ~original after the .jpg then the image is displayed. I spotted this on the TT forum. For those people using Chrome you can make some changes so that your browser automatically appends the ~original to the end of any photobucket .jpg files.

For those that use Google chrome browser and use several forums, all of which will be plagued by this but few will have this fix in place, I have a extra little helper.

This works by adding ~original to the end of each photobucket url.
God knows how long until PB cotton on and stop it working but a good temporary fix atm.

Download this Google chrome extension

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/deta ... nfo-dialog

Install and make sure it is enabled.

In it's options in the JavaScript box enter:

$(document).ready(function () {
$('img').each(function () {
var img = $(this);
var imgsrc = img.attr('src');
if (imgsrc.indexOf("photobucket.com") !== -1) {
img.attr("src", imgsrc + "~original");
}
});
});

And hay presto at least for now any site you visit with broken photobucket pics will be restored biggrin.png


I whizzed through the pages on my build thread for the car and restored all the photos on about 12 pages in 30 minutes. But then I am able to edit all my posts which normal users cannot do. But anybody using the above browser trick would not be able to see my images now .
Wonder if the site could append all the photobucket.jpg links automatically.
This doesn't work for videos unfortunately. And long term I will continue to upload the original to the site.
