Hi Guys,

Not sure if this is the right place but....

I've been unable to view photos in the forum for a while now, I'm running Chrome and have installed a couple of Photobucket extensions with no joy, can you help at all?

Thanks

I'm running Chrome and photos on all active hosting sites are still showing fine and that's also with having a 3rd party adblocker installed.

The loss of the Photobucket images is still due to PB closing 3rd party hosting unless the person who originally posted the photos is willing to stump up for a paid hosting plan.

It's worth noting that PB are currently making quite a few changes to their site (they've been sending out loads of emails recently about it / encouraging people to pay £££ to rejoin. etc) and some of those changes include changing the script of how the photos are hotlinked.

As a result it's hit & miss as to how long / how well 3rd party Photobucket extensions work, as on some forums i've seen photos working one day and then P500'd a few days later, but others still show. PB also know about the extensions and seem to regularly make changes to try and block the workarounds.
