I thought I had posted this.

There are extensions for Chrome and Firefox which display the photos at least some of the time...

I contacted Photobucket about a few issues, including this one. I told them to get their @%&* together or I'd be taking my business elsewhere and they'd get slayed on forums and on social media. They responded saying their IT team was looking into known issues. :dk:

They don't have an IT department, just some developers. None of my queries in the past when they were so heavily infected with spam were answered. For over a year I couldn't browse their site it was so bad with pop ups etc.

In other news, looks like the Chrome add on has been failing me so I took it off. Kept locking up the browser...

Jamie you just "hit the nail on the head" why so...many of us have hung around with Kieth for so long. :thup:
I still remember when the fte site was in it's infancy, (before they clogged the pages with all the ads). And during the same time period how you could navigate here without wasting data loading ads. I have probably logged into that site a total of one dozen times in the past 10 years.

And so...many folks come here and forget to realize once again that... :fr:
Fordification is ad free still all these years later when there could have been a fortune to be made from the ads.

Thank you Kieth for not lowering to the fte-photobucket "pay-to-play" ideology.
I'm running Chrome but won't even try the add on based from your experience.
And I would love...to see PB's bandwidth / activity these days-guaranteed they lost at least 30%-40% of their users.

Imgbb.com has been good to me. The hardest part is uploading all the pics from the camera and then changing the image links in the threads. I used the '.jpg~original' hack / crack on my P-bucket pics to get them to show for now.
