Hi :'(

1st, BIG "TY" to ALL U guys for Trying to "Save Da' Ship !!...." on retrieving YEARS of Our Photo-Bucket Files.. ;)
I was "LUCKY", & able to transfer ALL My (only about 200-ish) Photos & Folders from P/B, back during 7/4
Holiday.. Worse comes to worse, We or I, can send pics/files through our personal Email Addy's.. (???)


2nd., I have the patience of "Jobe"... Unless you; "Intentionally, With Malice", try to aggravate, Hurt, Me/Mine/Ect..
It's "Almost" impossible to "Rile" Me.. Insult Me, W/ Ever... (I Am & still Are; offering a Person to Rant/Rave
U'r Frustrations & the Pain along with it.. Also, Via TM, a retired Oncology RN ( & just plain common-sense
Medical-Knowledge. OR, Knows; "Where" to go for Info U Need/Want...) of 35+ years @ Our local Gen. Hosp. ...

3rd., "This" latest P/B "Deal".. sounds more like "Phishing" for Your Personal-Info...
Be "Weary"; of P/B, "Offering-Gifts" :D (Joking, trying to "Lighten" this Issue up a little..)
But, it Does have some grounds for consideration ;) )


Best 2-ALL :D

That is a rather strange offer, I believe the 500 plan costs $400 a year, so $30 a year looks like a good deal, maybe too good. When you get an e-mail with a link you have to be very careful, clicking the link could get you some sort of malware or take you to some bogus site. If you right click on the e-mail and select "Message properties" you may be able to figure out where the message actually came from. There will be a number of IP addresses included and you can check on those using this site: http://www.ip-tracker.org/

Found these add on's while looking around. They are a fix to allow you to see the
pictures in threads that Photo Bucket broke the links to. So far from what I read
they are only for Chrome and Firefox.

Links for Chrome

https://github.com/kzahel/photobucket-embed-fix
or
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/photobucket-embed-fix/naolkcpnnlofnnghnmfegnfnflicjjgj?hl=en

Link for Firefox

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/photobucket-embedded-fix/?src=ss

Since I use Firefox I installed the add on to my browser and so far I have been able to see
the pictures in Hilltops thread and the Model Murdering thread starting from page one
instead of that dreaded Photo Bucket picture. Again these are only for users of Chrome
and Firefox. Nothing for Internet Explorer as of yet.

Might be worth a look at

That is pretty awesome Kevin. I just installed it on Chrome in about two seconds and all the lost PBucket photos
came back to life on the old threads like magic !

Good ,glad it's working for ya's. This is a good thing for viewing old threads.
For those who have deleted pics or accounts, the pictures are no longer there.
As an experiment I went into the full reply screen and copied a pic from photobucket.
It allowed me to see it in the preview section, but I did not post it. Just wanted to see
if it would work. I would not trust it to work for a post, plus it would be a waste of time
because anyone not having the add on could not see it anyway. You would still need
to find a new hosting site to your liking for any future posts. A lot of good infomation
on these old threads and it's nice to have something that works to go back and look at them
again.
