An extension to Chrome that will make all those disappeared Photobucket pictures visible once more - handy on forums that host their images there.

Similar exists for Firefox, as I know some here are Chrome-phobic

Don't know why but my photo bucket account has not been nobbled.

Works a treat

trouble is that even with this "fix" those bloody pop-up adverts are still making it almost impossible to use this site!

[Jimbob]

Lizzie, this site?  There are NO adverts in OOF,

If you have adverts, run every malware / virus scanner you can find!

[tunnie]

Yup. No adverts on OOF

The heading of this thread is about Photobucket, therefore any reference made within the posts, like mine, that state "this site" obviously relate only to the main subject of the thread.

Men!!!

A note to all men.  The above sums up women's logic.

why anyone would want to continue using photobucket, with or without a hack, whether it works or not, after they way they behaved amazes me. God forbid anyone has actually paid them.

https://imgbb.com/ seems good instead

All free hosting services will die, as its unaffordable without revenue stream.

Standard rules apply, hook the user, then charge. Those that piss off, well, good riddance, as they were costing you money

there are plenty of free services that look very likely to stay free and offer more than just image hosting - blogger, wordpress, gmail, yahoo mail, google sites, google maps, google earth to name just a few.  yes some may come and go (google sites may go) but the 'standard rules' have changed and this is a permanent change - they make money from the data they receive from you such as what you host and post.

or even

"Simple Machines forum.  Elegant, effective, powerful, free.  It's that simple.  "

Nobody has yet found a way to make sufficient money out of mining images. So, no, until someone does, free image hosting will never survive. It's a very easy way to burn cash very fast. And business plans need to demonstrate where the revenue will come from in order to secure any investment

And for your info, SMF have alternative streams to pay their hosting costs, including subscriptions and inline ads.
