Checked that too, and the box is checked that says it's enabled.

this is great, maybe Dave should make it a sticky

A couple observations: Paging thru some of the pictures we can now see. Trying to save some of these images to my computer so as not to lose them. Note, when you go to save them as some are PNG type and some are JPG type. The JPG save good and you can see them off line well. However not so for the PNG files and save with the annoying Photobucket comment, but there is a work around. In the thread double click the image and it will display directly from Photobucket and then when you go to save the image it saves as a JPG file. At least this is what I am seeing.

This solution from Thaine was working for me and now stopped working for me. I even deleted the extension and then reloaded and also rebooted Chrome. Is it still working for you? (Anyone who had it working)

Hi Lynn

It is still working for me.

Sent you a PM

Lynn,

I just checked it on my desktop and laptop systems and it is still going strong for me. There's the occasional one that gives me the Photobucket death message, but I would say an easy 95% come through. This is for photos from multiple individuals that I am sure used PB in the past.

Edited to add: I just googled "photobucket chrome workaround" and there are some new extensions listed. I added one (photobucket hotlink fix) to my system, disabled the embedded fix extension and was able to still see the old photos of Michael's. Those of you having problems might want to try a different extension.

Amazingly, this morning I was able to see some of the pics but not all. I also got it to work on my IPad. I guess the moral is keep trying, try rebooting the computer, try deleting the extension and reloading it or ask some one on the group to try to get the pics for you. If fact that is why I again was trying to see the old pics. A member on here asked if I had downloaded some of Michael's old pics. Well we have them for him as soon as he sends his email address to me.

After Lynn helped me with the Petrov images I wanted I discovered another solution to view the PB images.

For anyone resisting to the nth degree being further pulled into the fold of the tech giants of Google and Amazon you do not need to use Google Chrome to solve the PB dilemma. There is an extension you can use in the open source Firefox browser that allows you to view the embedded PB images on this forum normally.
