A friend sent me these links. It works to.. Just add the extension on FF and your PB links will work again. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/photobucket-fix/ This one is for Chrome users. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/photobucket-embedded-imag/ogipgokcopooepeipngiikdkpmcpkaon/related?hl=en-US
You use to be able to hotlink from PB to any forum, then they stopped it and now if you wanted to hotlink you had to pay $399 a year. These add-ons fix that.
It's more for the 15 years of forum posts and how-to's everywhere that are now gone. Across the whole web I'm curious to see how long these extensions last before Photobucket "fixes" the loophole.
