Unable to view Photobucket Images in Posts . . .

Post by PaycheckBlew »

Hi,
Currently, I can't see images in posts. Eg. LM14's build . . .

There is a Photobucket standard image place-holder instead.

Any idea what is wrong?

Thanks,

Photobucket decided to extort all its users for big $$$ if they chose to share photos on 3rd party sites like this one. Note the generic extortion message in place of a picture.

There are extensions/add ons for Firefox and Chrome browsers that restore the images... you have to look them up on the home page or accessories page for the respective browsers. But they do work, I have one Installed on Firefox on my phone, and as long as a user has not deleted their account (some even after) I can see the images and even save them...

Thanks for this bit of information! I downloaded the add-on and it works like advertised.
