Photobucket workaround
hulbyw - November 23rd, 2017 at 09:19 AM

Hopefully the Admins on here will understand this better than I do. Read on another forum the following:-By simply adding the text ~original as a suffix between the existing .jpg suffix and the [/img] tag the original images will be displayed again. This worked with a number of images (not all) on the other forum.
Cheers........Wayne

I'm using a browser extension which displays the photos(Chrome)

nice now to go through and fix my thread as well

It works! Although I need to duplicate one picture in each post and leave out the ~original for the others to show

for those interested - you can still use your existing PB photos and just add the words.
So this isnt just a fix for photos posted, but a way to continue using the existing library

Yes - you need to find a new home for new photos
But is saves you somehow having to move the gazillion photos you have

Yes, I found that extension last night as well, but I think it only works if you use Chrome or Firefox

I put my old photos in an old photo-suitcase, not a photo-bucket. I can't find them either.

mmmmmm..............I just tried that chrome extension, and whilst it let me view the photos, it stops you viewing any that have ~original added

The "~original" fix doesn't work any more. Is there a fix for the fix for photobucket?
