Photobucket hotlink fix
« on: January 04, 2018, 02:31:52 »
I found this on another forum and thought it would be helpful here.  These browser addons allow you to see pictures that members here have posted using photobucket but are now no longer view-able.

For example,  if you view the following post without the addon you will not be able to see all the photos.  Add one of the addons below and review the thread and they are now all there :)

I hope this helps recover some long lost photos :)



 

There are currently some browser add-ons available for Firefox and Chrome to let you once again see those images.

Firefox:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/photobucket-e...

Chrome :
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/search/photobucket%20fix

(There are no guarantees these will continue to work as Photobucket could make changes at anytime to cause them to break. Also note if the member who posted in the thread your viewing has since deleted his or her account with Photobucket, there is no way to get the images back.)

Which is why we prefer photo's to be uploaded here... then we'll never lose them! Photobucket allowed people to use their hosting service for free for many years, and recently changed their Terms of Service.

Please upload photos on sl113.org instead, even if you find it less convenient!
