    Default Photobucket "Fix" in Google Chrome lets you see Posted Pictures

    Hey guys,
    I came across a video that shows how to add an extension in Chrome in order to be able to view forum posted Photobucket pictures.

    Wouldn't you know, it worked! Oh, and Photobucket is still CRAP!!!

    Below are the steps I used...

    If you're using Chrome on a PC or Mac:


    • Click on the 3 vertical dots to the far right of your address field
    • Then select More Tools and Extensions
    • In the next screen click on Get more extensions
    • Now in the Search the Store field type Photobucket Hotlink
    • The Photobucket Hotlink Fix extension v 1.3.17 will show up to the right so at that point add the extension
    • Go back to to PAFOA and refresh or close and re-launch Chrome
    • Bingo, you should now be able to see linked Photobucket pictures



    Best of luck,

    Kobsw

    I hope I'm not breaking any rules but I bumping this to the top since I'm sure you guys and gals are now home from work and might want to see Photobucket posted pictures again on PAFOA and other forums.

    I got an email last week.
    After pulling the plug on 90% of the internet's hosted forum photos and demanding $500 a year to get your stuff to show up again, Photobucket is crawling back to everyone with "exciting news" of "A new plan for users just like you!"
    They are NOW offering a hosting plan for $99/year that allows you to link your pics to forums.

    Fuck them. I'd pay someone else $200 before those cock sucking pieces of shit get a dime from me again.

    ^Love it!

    Now I'm sure that I could manage to follow the OP's instructions, but I'm not smart enough to know if this extension opens any pandora's box type of nightmares?

    ExFlyguy, I hear you, so before i posted this I looked around and verified to the best of my ability that the developer is legit.

    I've noticed no anomalies or any add-ons to my browser or computer.

    I'll monitor things from my end and let you guys know if any problems crop up.

    For now though I'm enjoying seeing posted pics again on multiple forums.

    Hooked on Phonics worked for me.



    I'm glad I came to this BBQ, I can see pictures again.
