Just saw another workaround over on a car site (for Corvairs, those clever guys!) where you just add "~original" after the ".jpg" of the image. Presumably you have to the image owner, but if you type that so the string looks like " ***.jpg~original" (without the quotation marks) it seems to fix it.
So you don't have to squint and search, it's the squiggly line on top of the key just to the left of the number 1 key on the top row.
Should be worth a try as well.

What am I missing here? Why are people using photobucket in the first place? I am not a member, but I can upload pictures directly to the FTE site. I've uploaded quite a few pictures with no problems. Will FTE eventually stop allowing me to upload pictures or start deleting my old ones if I don't get a membership? I'm thinking about getting one anyway.

Before they began this extortion, Photo Bucket had turned into a can of worms. Over a year now it has been painful to use that site.
I finally downloaded my 300+ images from them, and am looking to upload somewhere. Yes, the other members were correct when they said that P.B. had destroyed many threads.

Just noticed all my broken links tonight across multiple threads on multiple forums.
I hope Photobucket sinks for this. That's a lot of hours we have invested in writing our threads, now even more hours repairing all the broken links
At least now we can edit old posts

Yeah, they have GOT to be feeling the heat at this point I would think.
Unless everyone who's effected (millions maybe?) is simply going over to another site and not even bothering to complain.
We'll see what the fallout ultimately becomes. It'll be hard to come back from it if it hits their bottom line. If y'all are like me, I've already spent way too much of my life converting from one media format to another, or from one provider to another. Enough to fill three lifetimes it feels like. I know I sure would not go back once I'd gone elsewhere.
'Course, that's just me. I still listen to some of my 8-tracks because I finally got tired of converting!
That leaves me with 45's, LP's, 8-tracks, cassettes, mini-discs (damn you Sony!), and CD's. That's where I finally breathed a sigh of relief when I realized I could fit the whole collection on one thumb drive!
Of course, I'll still miss the cover art. But I'll live...
