Is anyone else having issues accessing there pictures in photobucket with the new policy in place. Just noticed the other day while trying to reference old pictures, when you open the app you'll be able to see the pictures in your album but as soon as you select a picture you get prompted to now pay for third party image hosting....WTF!

Yup, it npw will cost you $399 per year for third party linking.
Its big news on ar15.com.
Ppl are downloading their complete albums and deleting accounts so fast it almost impossible get a album download to work.

Photobucket implosion by the end pf the year.

Get ypur pics pff the sote while you still can.

How do you use imgur to get photos on the forum I downloaded the app and I tried the copy thing but it doesn't import the picture

Prob open the image in new tab and copy the url...

Almost that easy, just figured it out..you have to click on the little mountain looking symbol in the txt bar and it'll prompt you with a pop up to enter the URL

FOUND A FIX:

Thought I'd post this here too, incase people are looking for a fix for this.

If you're using chrome web browser on your pc, theres a work around for this using a chrome plugin called "Fix Embedded Photobucket Images"
This fixes all the broken images, if you still see a broken 'please update your account..." crap image after installing the plugin, press ctrl+shift+r on the page which will refresh and clear the cache, which fixes the image.

Lets avoid photobucket like the plague so this is no longer needed, this bypass is useful if your reading older threads with photobucket images.

So all those threads aren't gone, its a simple fix for now, spread the word or someone post a sticky, that would help.

Cheers!
