Photobucket Save/Fix Available

Post by Pete44ru »

.

I have found out that, apparently, Google Chrome and Foxfire have found a way to access the photos that Photobucket.com does not now allow you to post to 3rd party sites anymore, without paying a high price. :mrgreen:



Viable, provided former/current PhotoBucket users haven't deleted all their albums/pics, the Google Chrome and Firefox browsers now have an extension called "Photobucket Embed Fix", that will allow the display of 3rd party hosted images, an end-around PB's new demands.


It will fix all your broken pics - no need for you to do anything, it runs entirely in the background.


To Install:

Click on Tools > Add-Ons (Or press CTL+Shift+A) > select "Extensions" > enter "photobucket embed" in the Search box (upper right corner) > then click the install button.

I wonder how long until the PhotoSuckit people figure out a way to interfere with that fix.

Still I think I'll try it until I can get my photos all to a better site.

Actually, AJ, IMO sooner or later most (if not all) of the currently free pic-hosting website will soon be following PB's lead.

My hope is that I can figure out (I never even tried) how I can get the pic on my 'puter to propagate directly (no 3rd party) on the forum(s) W/o doing the attachment two-step.

I can't find any "search box" once I get to "manage add ons". Doesn't show any search box for me?

IDK why, Vall - It may be a cookie, malware blocker, or some other "thing".

So that "fix" will only work on your computer. MAYBE it will work on the computer of anyone else who's done it. Which means for all intents and purposes, it doesn't work.

You'd have to turn your computer into a server, your ISP won't like that. Cheaper and easier to pay $2 a month to someone.

I don't mind paying for the file-sharing, IF

a) it works reliably (PhotoSuckit didn't),
b) it works quickly (PhotoSuckit didn't),
c) it doesn't crash (PhotoSuckit did), and
d) it allows moving of files without disrupting previous links to it (PhotoSuckit didn't).

Alas, none of the sites seem to do the latter, even though such an indexing system is a fairly simple algorithm (figured one out on my own in the 1980's and wrote it in TurboPascal and 8088-processor assembly language on a Shareware program I wrote and distributed, so it can't be that hard).

Sorry, but Photobucket wants way more than $2 a month to get your pictures out of their site!

Some of my old posts are a mess from this having done them pre-site upload capability. I've pulled my material from Photobucket now and might go fix them at some point. $399 is just crazy ... I think they are not long for this world.

Amazing - the Photosuckit site STILL sucks....

I'd gladly pay for it if it actually didn't crash all the time and lock up. :roll:
