Default photobucket

looks like photobucket is blocking all there photos on this site and others.
sad because now I need to delete or move my photos some where to post them on here. If you posted pics on here from photobucket they are now being blocked till you pay up.

Here's a couple of fixes-

depends on your browser-

Chrome - https://chrome.google.com/webstore/d...pkaon?hl=en-US

Firefox- https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fir...-embedded-fix/

Don't delete your pics yet-as they are still view able in Chrome and Firefox w/ the fixes.

I'd just download and make a copy ....that way you have a copy of them- till they go out of business.

I went through and swapped several pics in some of my DIY/build threads to Corvette Forum's host- time consuming but better than trying another 'free' site and see it happen again.

I still am getting emails from them- as they just now realize that their blackmail didn't work- and now want to only charge $99/year,

Photobucket can kiss my a**.....I would not use them again even if it was free.

I just went to photobucket's website, go to my library of pictures, and start saving each picture to my laptop so I have complete control over MY photos. When I need a picture, I download from my laptop, instead of photobucket....DONE!

There are so many options for downloading pictures, photobucket must have lost their minds when they came up with the idea to charge you for YOUR pictures. Photobucket is redundant.........they are NOT needed...Bye Bye!!!!

Corvetteforum allows a certain number pics to be stored here as a non paying member.

Ive been using imgur as a substitute for PB but who know how long imgur will free host.

The photobucket transition to a very expensive pay site has been discussed to death last year when instituted. A search will show a ton of threads on it.

The site has a couple easy picture methods for free using either the paper clip or the picture icons. Both pull from your hard drive and there’s no need to fix photobucket (why deal with them at all?) or look for another third party host.

Here’s our latest instructions:
