I know there was a fix done on here for this to enable us to view from photobucket accounts
Looks like its not working now or is it just me ?

You are waiting for the magic to work?

 

it can take a short while for the images to load.

[Marco1972]

Yes that was the case but it appears to have stopped working
Yes it may be my individual account as when I post all that is now displayed is the image code ( image dose not display no matter how long you wait)
However I’m seeing the same when I view other posts who also still use photobucket
Be interested to hear if others are having the same issue
And yes I’m looking at alternatives

Ive got the same issue, just the code comes up, no actual image. Even my chrome extensions cant get it to work

At least it’s not just me then

you are still using it for new images? the recommendation was not to do so. use Imgur.

Yes I was
I wasn’t aware the forum fix was only for old images

[Marco1972]

I’ve now installed Imgur on my IPad
Looking at topics on this you click on the image and the image code appears in a box on the right then copy and paste as usual ?
Doesn’t seem to be the case on my IPad a box pops up but no image codes displayed just options to download image , share ect
What am I doing wrong or am I just having a senior moment
Happy to have some help from you more tech savvy folk out there

Cheers Mark

Mis-leading article I think, from what I gather they've not changed their stance on 3rd partyu hosting only the payment plan.

 

It would appear the previous plan failed and the company is circling the drain, striking example of how to ruin a business.

My old PB hosted pictures can be seen on other forums I use now so something has changed.

They have restored their hot-linking, they just still want you to pay for it.

Continue with imgur. Once I've sorted out an in house hosting solution for TMF, I'm going to make 'Photobucket' a banned word so that it's impossible to use their service to host images that display on TMF.
