Talk Morgan Forums Community The Malvern Arms Photobucket Fix

I just found this workaround on another forum which seems to let you replace the missing photo's we have experienced since Photobucket became money grabbing b******s

"As we know photobucket has gone down the charging route and some great photos from the pages on this thread have all but gone.
Use these instructions below and trust me it works. I can see all the photobucket photos on here again.
It's from Google and is free.

If you're using Google Chrome, go to the three dots on the top right side of the screen (it's a small arrow in a green circle on my machine ;James BW) and click them.
A drop down should appear.
Hover your mouse over "More Tools," and when the next drop down appears, click on extensions.
Go to the link towards the bottom that says "Get more extensions."
In the search box, type "Photobucket Fix," and hit enter.
Click the install button and once it's done, you should be able to see photobucket pictures again."

It worked OK for me using the Chrome browser on my iMac - apparently, there are similar workarounds for other browsers too ,but I haven't got the details on them.

It might be useful even if it's just to remind yourself of which photos are missing/need replacing (as per Dave W's updates).....

Just tried but no go for me

It was mentioned here a few months ago. I have it installed and it works okay where the user has left their account and photos on Photobucket - i.e. where, without the extension, you get an image saying "upgrade your account".

But a lot of users - including I think DaveW - deleted their Photobucket accounts completely. If you see an "image not found" message then no browser extension will display the picture.

I was so utterly pissed off by their demands that I would rather reload the whole set of images, which is what I did.

I deleted all my images and closed my account because what's to stop them demanding a storage fee in the future?

And backdating it.

Mmm good point Dave!

Will formally cancel mine too rather than just stop using which is where I am now.

Good thinking. Just deleted my account.

I’m happy to leave my images in place and redirect any emails. The reason I posted images was that maybe someday somebody might find one useful

I'm sure they are all useful Rog, but nobody will see them unless you also cough up the $400.

I can see them Ian and I haven’t paid $400

I deleted my account
