Can't see older photobucket images on the site
« on: February 15, 2020, 10:03:51 AM »
I'm using the search function to review posts and several have old photos that are blurred out with the photobucket logo.  Is there a trick to view these?

One of the problem with Photobucket is that a closed account removes all associated pictures. The service is a "now", and not designed for historical purposes.

Search is your fiend  - unlike Photobucket  ::)

One of a couple of older threads.

Have replaced the links in many of the threads but sure there are some that I've missed - I've got a add on to my browser that addresses the issue so I don't see the problem

Find a picture with the PhotoBucket hostage wording across it that I posted I will try and fix. Just send me a PM

If you are using Firefox there is add-on to fix Photobucket blurred pictures.
Just look up "photobucket embed fix" and add it.

Jeff,

I noticed some of the threads in the 66 unrestored car section are blurred as I was trying to find a pic of a harmonic balancer.

Please identify each (in this thread or PM) that has the problem and I'll go through and replace with pictures stored on this site. Will keep them "live" and not reliant on other storage web sites. Eventually we'll have to pay for more storage but its worth IMHO to keep the ship upright and afloat :)
