The question is.. going forward is this a permanent fix or just a band aid for now.. and also going forward.. do we link to PB or is there a new procedure to link pictures here on LS1Tech ?
Guess we will have wait and find out.. soon I hope.

The pictures on my 2 threads are still showing the "3rd party hosting" BS. I tried the ~original addition, but all that did was turn the "3rd party" image into a small "x" image. Example below....that small icon on top of the PB image is what it changed to.

Some of us started posting before iPhones or iPads. And, if I remember correctly, if you wanted to embed pictures right into the post, 3rd party hosting was the only way to do it.....or maybe just the best way to do it.

Not sure what I was doing, but this article popped up. Best quote of it all
"Was the customer backlash expected?
Corpus paused. For 12 seconds.
“No,” he finally said."

Haha! What kind of business man is this tool? To go from charging nothing to $399 and didnt expect any backlash? He can **** off and have his shitty company.... We'll see how "sustainable" it is when most people leave them.

CEO is out of touch with reality. This statement says it all:
Really? Someone who travels to his "company" twice a month? And a "Bay Area" know-it-all at that? We'll have a much better country when the metro-coastal idiots stop trying to destroy mainstream America...
Corpus, a Bay Area resident who travels every other week to the company’s headquarters in Denver, said Photobucket had to plow ahead.

It's such a shame. The threads are basically useless without the pictures. I like to think my swaps are somewhat unique too (don't we all!), and they might've helped someone solve a less-than-common problem. My GTO is an A-body....tons of LS swapped A-bodies.....but few that are 64-67 Pontiacs, plus the blower.....maybe slightly unique. And my '86 C10.......TONS of LS swapped C10s, but how many with T56s? Certainly not that many. Oh well. Not a huge deal in the grand scheme of things, but still unfortunate.

This may be a stupid question, but... are your pictures still there on failbucket? Can you see them if you log in there? Any chance you've changed your album names or something like that, so the "~original" link is trying to go to the wrong place? I agree that the ~original trick isn't working on yours, but it's worked pretty much everywhere else I've tried, so I'm curious why.
Thanks for the help.
Not sure if anyone has seen this yet, but i tried it on google chrome and it works!
I saw this on one of my other Facebook forums and figured I would share. I can confirm it fixes Photobucket errors.
Anyone who's tried to read older forum posts has probably been greeted by this message in place of Photobucket photos. Luckily, some god amongst men created a Chrome/Firefox extension to work around the issue and show the photos again. Download links below! Be sure to clear your browser cache after installing the extension. Figured this would be a huge help to the community.
Chrome: https://chrome.google.com/…/naolkcpn...fegnfnflicjjgj
Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/…/addon/p...-embedded-fix/
People probably already know about this, but it was news to me. Sharing for anyone that didn't know it was out there.

Photobucket restores photos “taken hostage,” hopes to lure back customers with cheaper plans after last year’s $399 debacle
Photobucket is back! And so are all of the photos that disappeared after the Denver company decided last summer to charge up to $399 for hosting images.
The company, which became one of the nation’s largest photo-sharing sites in the early 2000s, said Thursday that it has rejiggered management and wants to do “the right thing for customers” and dropped hosting fees to $2.49 a month or $24.99 a year, though for a limited time, fees are $1.99 a month, or $19.99 a year.
“Our focus since I took over has been customers first,” said Ted Leonard, who joined the company last fall as its finance officer and became CEO in March. “Two months later, we’ve turned back on the images. It’s an important day. Millions of images were restored that were lost forever. Our mission is to bring back customers and regain customer trust.”

It took them this long to realize they screwed up??? Don't care, definitely not going back to them....
And FWIW, this statement “Two months later, we’ve turned back on the images. It’s an important day. Millions of images were restored that were lost forever. Our mission is to bring back customers and regain customer trust” isn't really true, they haven't turned them back on in any thread I have looked on, I guess they meant, if you go ahead and pay them they will turn them back on.....

When they put up the Ransom demands, I deleted my account. My Pictures are gone, but I would rather they be gone vs being jerked around
