Photobucket Just Broke Billions of Photos Across the Web

Photobucket charges for third party hosting. In other words if you link to a image on photobucket for a auction on Ebay then you will need to pay photobucket for third-party hosting fees. Linking to any photobucket photo is still free for forums. thats why we can link **** here.

It's still there, and werkin'.
 
I have a theory on why some of you out there have not had your photo links broken. Photobucket had 100 millions users. It would have been cost prohibitive to send out 100 million notices. They have randomly or selectively sent out notices to a segment of their users to get the message out.
 
Here's a post from another forum I frequent.

Photobucket blocking the display of images stored on their servers has made a mess of many forums, blogs, etc. Some folks have gone to the trouble of rehosting and then relinking their images. They are to be lauded. Others, like myself have so many images used in my own build topic as well as scattered everywhere else, I can not see taking the time and effort to rehost and relink them. However, I have found a way to make the images reappear in the topic threads with little effort.

There are three things required.

First and foremost the images must still be located on the Photobucket servers in the same file folder, etc. If the photo owner deleted their images from Photobucket for whatever reason, this will not work.

Second, to view the forum pages the viewer must be using the Chrome browser.

Third, that browser must have the Chrome Photobucket Embed Fix extension installed. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/...ed-fix/naolkcpnnlofnnghnmfegnfnflicjjgj?hl=en

No guarantee how long this will last. PB may find a way to block the magic that it used.

It's worked for me so far.
 
i wondered why my account wasn't working. welp, that should pretty much kill photobucket dead. dumbass idea on their part.
