On another Forum, I came across reference to this link-

http://forum.retro-rides.org/thread/201449/free-chrome-extension-photobucket-pictures?hotlinkfix=1515106792901

On that forum, you can find links to get around the Photobucket image blocking. I downloaded the Mozilla link and it works well.

I am now using another image hosting site, but would like to re-write some of my old postings, especially the 'how to' ones. Using the work-around, I can at least identify the specific photos that I used, so that I can fit them into the re-written story.

I would like to ask a question about the Photobucket issue.

I have been paying Photobucket about £20ish a year for a few years now as I ran out of free space, it also gives me add free viewing of my photos, I have not had the problem of them blocking my photos and I continue to put them on forums with no problem.

The question is:- Is this option to pay £20ish (can't remember exact amount) not still available ?

I don't personally have a problem paying this as it keeps me add free and protects my photos.

Wow!

Dane, thanks very much for that. It does work well. Photobucket will not be happy.

I have paid the $1.99 a month for a few years, basically to get rid of the adds, don't pay anymore now and have not had had the site posting block that Photobucket imposed.

I don't have a problem paying for the service.

Is this 'modification' available if you don't subscribe to Chrome?

Cheers, Tony. Question
