Another Photobucket Workaround

[AJ]

Yep, it works on Chrome on a Windows machine just fine. It does not work for Internet Explorer or for Edge though.

Worked for me using chrome and Firefox on my windows box.

Works fine on Chrome on Windows 10 and Windows 7. You might have to clear the cache if you have viewed threads before installing the extension then go back to the same thread after installing.

If this is true it seems to have very little value...

Correct me if I'm wrong...

After installing it you should be able to see ALL Photobucket pics on ANY forum that has them. It will not fix the pics for others who do not have the extension installed.

Too funny. I just did some checking on the Chrome extension. PB changed their terms of service effective June 30, 2017. The first review of this extension was posted on July 6, 2017. It didn't take long for someone to figure out a work-around.

The last changes to the extension were posted on July 23, 2017. Clearly PB has not put forth any effort to thwart it. I doubt that they could anyway. They have incurred the wrath of the open source programmer community. There's really not much PB could come up with programmatically that can't be undone by determined programmers.

Except more programming..hehehe Which in turn...

Good on the “hackers” in this case

I am running Windows 7 and Firefox on a PC. I loaded the download yesterday. It did not work. I just tried it again, and suddenly it's working.

Yep, a cat and mouse game for sure.

I don't know about Firefox. But I can tell you it works great on Google Chrome.

I do know on the Chrome extension page they recommend clearing the cache after install.

Like DDave said the photobucket thumbnail was likely cached by your browser. Clearing your browser cache or hitting Ctrl+F5 should make them visible.

Just checking to see if mine works. Looks good from here.

Yup, I can see the pit barrel cooker with it enabled. Disabled and it's the stupid pb "no pic for you!" icon.

[Richtee]

I can’t get to that pict no matter what I do. Fuckers.

This "fix" is absolutely useless if it only works for those that use chrome or whatever.
The rest of us still only see...

fuck photobucket

Well, you could always use Chrome. Can you install Chrome on a Mac?

Yes, one could if one were so inclined. It's not hard at all, bhut... Why?

I have Chrome on my Mac. It’s amusing.

Umm . . . I don't know . . . so you could see the pictures in the forum maybe??

Ah . . . yet another piece of software that doesn't work on a Mac??

Sorry. Couldn't resist.

I never cleared the cache, it just started working...
