How to get forum photobucket pics to work again,FREE


Recommended Posts

Saw this on another forum, thought I would pass it along.

If you are using firefox browser add this extension
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/photobucket-fix/

If you are using google chrome or chromium add on this extension

Your old bookmark MIGHT take you to a really messed up page(I had a glitch in firefox on a proboard site).If it does either logout or login,the proper looking page should now appear.Create a new bookmark.

At this point your forums with photobucket photos should all appear and work just like before photobucket tried to rob us of our photos

After installing the plug-in, make sure you either:

1) refresh any open tabs;
2) close and restart Firefox;
3) flush your internet cache.

The plug-in does not take effect until you do one of the above. Rebooting works also. Some people in other forums were saying they did not see images after installing the plug-in, but it suddenly started working later or the next day. They did not do the above.

Maybe, if I were a programmer looking to do harm I don't think I would pick a name like dvil.

I did do a scan after installing the add on with both Windows defender & Kaspersky. Nothing detected.

but then you never know.

 

It is nice to be able to see the photos in the posts again when researching solutions to problems.
