Photobucket is no longer viable unless you upgrade your photo*ucket account for 3rd party hosting see here: www.photobucket.com/p500/this means that pics will no longer show when posted here and many are now missing from contributions... Seems like they've shot themselves in the foot to me, I would suggest unloading your pics to another vendor such as: imgur.com or postimages.org/Or alternatively direct to your forum post and avoid ransom demands from unscrupulous providers... It should be possible to edit images once a reliable host has been established, if members have any problems doing so please post for help here or contact a moderator.

More news on Photo*uckit who are currently demanding 399.99USD a year to re-establish 3rd party links... wow thats more then Most Ransomware asks for.... photobucket.com/pricingAnyway there may be a work around of a temporary nature for some by adding ~original at end of the image link, this seems to work on proboards forums at least.... At the moment its possible to restore blocked images on the forum but will only do so on request.

Hello and thank you for your suggestions.
I was going to re post my pictures with this fix but if it is possible to do them at your end that would be fantastic.
Thank you for your help.
Best wishes,
Chris

Chris, Done but I dont know how long it will last.... By the way as your a guest I doubt you could edit your images in previous posts even if you joined now.... it may be worthwhile joining the forum if you intend posting more images Forum members posting pics via links should be aware that this is unlikely to end in a permanent long term fix, it is highly recommeded that you avoid paying the ransom fee to have your images unblocked at source.... after all PB may cease to exist in a few months due to this fiasco, and instead upload your pics to an alternative vendor... and remember always keep additional copies in a secure location.... in case of ransom demands....

I have just tried postimages.org in Benno's Figures Forum and it works (and, by the way, quicker tan Photobucket).
Thank you for your advice, Ironsides.
Cheers.
Santi.

Thanks for the suggestion. Imgur seems to work in exactly the same way that Tinypic doesn't.
