photosuckit fix for chrome
 

found this photosuckit fix over on hotrodders.com forum for those of you that use google chrome
and really, who doesn't use chrome anymore :D:D:D
i loaded the extension and looked at my build thread to see all of my pics back

Re: photosuckit fix for chrome
 

I will have my "I.T." person (wife) take a gander at it.

Thanks for the tip.

Re: photosuckit fix for chrome
 

I don't even know what Google Chrome is, so I suppose that means i qualify for lame-old-guy status, ha ha. And the best part? I DON'T CARE!

Re: photosuckit fix for chrome
 

Did it work for you?

Re: photosuckit fix for chrome
 

all you have to do is click the link and add the extension to chrome

Re: photosuckit fix for chrome
 

Thanks for this. It does work! I am also lame in that I prefer Internet Explorer but I guess I will have to use Chrome for the forum.

Re: photosuckit fix for chrome
 

I installed it on firefox, restarted firefox and I can see all of the pics that I couldnt see before!

Re: photosuckit fix for chrome
 

Worked for me yesterday when I was trying to view a steering column thread with all broken pics.

Re: photosuckit fix for chrome
 

Does it work for Droid phones? I followed the link and uploaded but still no pics...I'm technologically challenged...

Re: photosuckit fix for chrome
 

Looks like marshmallow 6.0.1?

Re: photosuckit fix for chrome
 

OK, I give up. How did you install "it" on firefox?

Re: photosuckit fix for chrome
 

Seems like it's dead now. Still shows but no live link. Worked for me before but got lost in a reboot.

Re: photosuckit fix for chrome
 

Link no longer works, I'm trying to install it on my work computer

Re: photosuckit fix for chrome
 

i just clicked it and found the extension, this works on google chrome only

you can instal it manually by using the 3 dots in the upper righthand corner of chrome
: (3dots)>more tools>extensions, go to the bottom 'get more extensions' and search for ''Photobucket Hotlink Fix"

imo it is spelled wrong PHOTOSUCKIT PHOTOSUCKIT PHOTOSUCKIT PHOTOSUCKIT PHOTOSUCKIT PHOTOSUCKIT PHOTOSUCKIT PHOTOSUCKIT PHOTOSUCKIT PHOTOSUCKIT PHOTOSUCKIT PHOTOSUCKIT PHOTOSUCKIT PHOTOSUCKIT PHOTOSUCKIT PHOTOSUCKIT :D
had to get that out of my system :D

Re: photosuckit fix for chrome

Re: photosuckit fix for chrome
 

I had to restart my computer to get firefox to "see" the pics again

Re: photosuckit fix for chrome
 

why isn't this sticky.? just saying

Re: photosuckit fix for chrome
 

What exactly does the fix do?

Allows pictures to be seen on forums?

Stops all the popups on photobucket?

Re: photosuckit fix for chrome
 

It lets you see all the pictures again. Photobucket stopped supporting the picture hosting unless you pay so now there are tons of threads with no pictures. Install the fix and everything works again.

Re: photosuckit fix for chrome
 

Thanks for the info. I’m a little hesitant to download “fixes”. I’ve done that before and created bigger problems.

Re: photosuckit fix for chrome
 

Understandable. I feel the same way about updates and any other download but this one is good so you shouldn't worry.

Re: photosuckit fix for chrome
 

obviously softpatch is big promoter of this fix :D

first off you this fix is for google chrome internet browser for a pc https://www.google.com/chrome/
imo, chrome is a butt load better than using windows internet explorer

chrome is the same web browser as the one you use on your android phone
this may be mobile friendly, i never use my phone for forums

Re: photosuckit fix for chrome
 

It worked on my laptop but it wont work on my Note?

Re: photosuckit fix for chrome
 

Unfortunately this is not working on my machine. Is everyone else still having success?

Photosuckit should get credit for doing something very difficult. They have singlehandedly restricted the sharing of knowledge among humans worldwide.

Re: photosuckit fix for chrome
 

still working on my win7 desktop and chrome obviously :D
maybe someone else will chime in
easiest way to check is click my build link in my signature, all photosuckit pics

Re: photosuckit fix for chrome
 

It's hit-and-miss in your build thread. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...09&postcount=3 shows the gauges. But the posts before and after have photos.

Re: photosuckit fix for chrome
 

try to delete and reload the hotfix extension, i'm seeing all the pics in my thread
i ran into a similar problem a couple months ago: delete/reload fixed the issue

Re: photosuckit fix for chrome
 

I figured it would only take a little time for some grad kid to figure out a way AROUND the photosuxbuc extortion antics .... thank you to the egg head kids playing with computers!!!

Re: photosuckit fix for chrome
 

I got an email from Photobucket saying they changed things. It looks like all pictures and 3rd party hosting has been restored. I tested it on my computer using internet explorer and it worked but I had the fix installed before so I'm not sure. How about all of you?

Re: photosuckit fix for chrome
 

i didn't get the email but looked on photosuckit to find this Welcome-to-the-New-Photobucket-
so today images are showing, but read on and they want $20 yearly under the new management
i imagine had photosuckit done that originally they would have had many takers, but to offer this a year later probably won't save them
to many people have moved on from photosuckit

the fix doesn't work on internet explorer, you should see the pics today
i tested pics in chrome by going to chrome extension manager to turn off the hotlink fix
i see the pics and may pay the $20/yr to have the pics back in my threads
i am here a limited time, unfortunately when i go, my pics go with me

Re: photosuckit fix for chrome
 

they DID do this originally. they started at 9.99 a year actually. then went to 29.99, then 49.99. then FOUR HUNDRED. it didnt work at 9.99 and it REALLY didnt work at 399.

the reason why is because facebook quietly bought photobucket, they already owned instagram. why have three photo sharing sites? the way you move people from one to another is to make one free (facebook, instagram are free) and the last cost money.

I replaced all my images with people flipping the bird. screw em.

Re: photosuckit fix for chrome
 

So sort of off topic, what is the goto free photo hosting site thats the easiest to use?

Re: photosuckit fix for chrome
 

I use flickr, and its a little fiddly, but its easy to move photos back and forth between albums without breaking links.


my two pieces of advice for putting photos online are: 1. dont upload at full resolution, 800x600 is more than enough for forum sharing, and the bigger YOUR pictures the more valuable they are to THEM. 2. be prepared to delete your albums and close your service at any moment, meaning keep a local backup (on your computer, on a flash drive) of all your photos.

Re: photosuckit fix for chrome
 

I like that answer.
