Got it working now. This is awesome. I just wish now, that I had not got all pissy with PB and deleted everything because I could not even download it.
Oh well life goes on and I am pretty sure I have a few of the old pics but not very many. My apologies for all the links that are broken on the posts I have made.

I had to download chrome in order to add the add-on. Possibly I screwed it up. I have never really used chrome and although they are all pretty much the same, there are of course differences. I will give it another try.Leave a comment:

Just to add, the Chromium (open source) browser also works with the extension added.Leave a comment:

Worked for me too!
T.C., It's folks like you that make the world go around. Bless your soul for whatever you manage to get done.
I was able to get Chrome on my work laptop, and now I can answer questions for others that might be curious.
(1) How to do it? Open your Chrome browser, go to the site https://chrome.google.com/webstore/d...fegnfnflicjjgj, and click on the "add extension" icon/button in the top right-hand corner. You're done. Takes a few seconds.
(2) Can I see all the pictures, not just the pictures in my posts? Yes, You are able to see all the Photobucket pictures in everyone's posts.
(3) Do I have to use the Google Chrome browser? Yes, until TC makes some fixes on the Tech Tips, none of the Photobucket pictures are visible using another browser besides Chrome.
(4) How long will this work? Nobody knows yet.
I was curious about these questions, so I hope it helps.Leave a comment:

Firstly,
Hey Mike, Thanks, that worked on MY Chrome also, using Win10. It enabled me to then click on the photo in the thread/tip, visit PB directly and SAVE the original photo to my HD. I then reuploaded them to the XS11.com server where the tech tip photos are. Then I got the NEW URL/Link for each one, then went to the tech tip and edited the links with the new URL, and NOW they are visible with ANY browser again. Steve had made alot of tips and photos, so I've got my work cut out for me to update them with the photos, but I'll get working on them. Here's the edited tech tip for your viewing tests, it's just about the brake pads on a special, was the 1st one I came to.
Ras, Did you actually ADD the Add-on extension into Chrome? Next, the info said that you may need to CLEAR your browsing history/cache in chrome before it would use the new info and make the new links!?

The Chrome extension worked for me.
I mean, not for those who already deleted their accounts

There must be more to it than that as I get exactly the same as I do on Firefox. Possibly some settings or even making it the default browser or whatever. I will keep trying but Chrome with add on makes no difference on mine.Leave a comment:

It Works!!
Outstanding work Mike! You get my vote for 2017 MVP (Most Valuable Post)
I have Google Chrome installed as a browser option...clicked on the link you posted, download took only a couple seconds, and it appears that all the photos are visible again in all the threads. I, too, was thinking that Photobucket had single handedly destroyed what so many have built over the years on this great site. Time will tell if it's a permanent fix. Haven't tried to post any new pics using PB so maybe this link just allows us all to view pics posted previously?Leave a comment:

Yep, I just added the extension to Chromium and it does work, photos are visible again.Leave a comment:

Photobucket Solution?
I saw this on one of the Honda V4 Forums:
Allegedly it casn be used to fix the Photobucket problem by redirecting the links.
Looks like you need to have Google Chrome to make it work. I use my work computer for everything; it has Internet Explorer, and I am not allowed to modify it.....so if this is a solution maybe I have to involve my wife's laptop.
Maybe one of our computer gurus could check out this solution and report back.Leave a comment:

Well, I found an EMAIL address,
advertise@photobucket.com
It's for Advertisers, but I wrote to it anyways, not sure if they'll forward it to any IT/Help section, or just delete it? I asked about the bulk/album download feature, described what it does and doesn't do, and whether they have turned OFF/disabled that feature as part of their updated TOS? Hopefully they will reply so at least we'll know where we stand and won't keep trying to utilize a non-functioning feature. However, if they didn't deactivate it, then they hopefully will notify their IT/Tech dept to fix it???

Hey Scott,
Okay, they probably removed that feature, because in their OFFICIAL statement about their policy changes, I found this about downloading our photos!
So...looks like we can ONLY download each photo separately!5. Can I download my Photos?
Absolutely, at any time. It is an easy four step process:
Step 1. Login to your Photobucket Account
Step 2. Navigate to your library page
Step 3. View a photo and click the download button
Step 4. The picture will be saved to your computer
