This was mentioned in the current photobucket thread, but it needs it's own post, and maybe even a sticky. Some time ago, Photobucket made all of their pictures disappear from forums. That means that here, many of the pictures in the archives were lost, as well as people's avatars, signature pics, etc. Well, there is an easy way to fix that. You download a simple little extension, and like magic, they come back. You must be using either Firefox or Chrome browser... there is no fix I can find for IE... But if you're still using IE, you really need to upgrade to a better browser anyways, lol. For Firefox users: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/photobucket-fix/?src=api&hotlinkfix=1516284990375 Go that link, and click Add to Firefox. Then Add. Then OK. All done. For Chrome Users: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/photobucket-hotlink-fix/kegnjbncdcliihbemealioapbifiaedg Go that link, and click Add to Chrome. Then click Add Extension. All done. For Phones: (Android based, don't know if it works on Iphones or not??) Go to Playstore and download Firefox browser. Open the browser, and go to this link. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/photobucket-fix/?src=api&hotlinkfix=1516284990375 Click add to Firefox, then yes or ok. THEN, if it's still not loading the test picture on this post... on the browser, go Settings then Clear Private Data, all the boxes should be checked, then click clear and that SHOULD do it. If anyone has questions, I'll try to help....

Wow i think that actually worked for chrome. I like looking at brand new archives. Yep it worked for me on Chrome. Like I said.... it's magic, LOL. Anybody found a fix for Safari? As far as I can find, only Firefox and Chrome have the fix. Either of those browsers CAN be download on Apple products though....

Here is an image posted through photobucket. If you can see this picture, it's working for you. (Edit: Not my picture, I stole it from the archives)

Worked for me on Chrome.
But it will only work if the user has not deleted their photobucket account like I did.

I see the bobcat picture posted by yotetrapper30. Would some others post some recovered pictures? Are you able to recover all of your albums? I am quite tech ignorant.
Thanks!!

Is this right? I still can’t see the pics
First of all I know NOTHING about Apple products, so maybe someone who does and has figured it out can help. It doesn't appear to have downloaded right. In your photo it says "Added to desktop" whereas it should say added to Chrome, or added to Firefox. Assuming a Desktop on Apple is similar to a desktop on Windows, that would be the screen that opens when you first sign on, where all your icons are. Look for an icon on that screen that says something about photobucket, or hotlink fix, and maybe try running it from there? Do you know if you have Chrome, or Firefox as the browser on your Ipad? Good question. Let me investigate that.

OK, I've been playing, trying to figure out a way for the phones... and I think I found a way for you too, vatrapping. I can NOT get it to work on Chrome on my phone. When I tried, it gave the same message you got: Downloaded to desktop. Which I figured out means Google Desktop, and which it then told me meant that whenever I logged into Chrome from an actual computer, the extension would work, but not on the phone.
So then I tried Firefox on the phone, and that worked! I downloaded firefox, and then used the Firefox link from the original post to download the extension, and it downloaded it to the firefox phone browser, which is where it needs to be. When I first refreshed the page, it didn't work, but then I went into settings on firefox, hit Clear Private Data, and then refreshed this post, the test picture was showing up, so it worked.
So, I have NO Apple products (Iphones, Ipads, etc) to do any testing with, so I can't promise you downloading firefox on your Ipad will work, but it might.
