The Photobucket Ransom thing

[Kitsune]

I used to use PB, then got fed up with the crappiness and went to Picasaweb. Who updated and became practically unusable, so went back to PB and found out about this. Gone to imgur or whatever they are called. Watch PB sink now

Just a polite request to those with Photobucket avatars or links in their signature:

Can you please change them?

Seeing that image as I go about my wargaming research and coming up against a blog or forum post with them makes me weep at the lost information across the internet, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.

Aaaaggggghhhh!

I was just having a look through some people's old, great threads, and I'm just now realising how much good stuff has been destroyed on here by Photobucket!

As someone who can't get any hobby time in just now, looking at those old threads keeps me going and gives something interesting to read, when I get 5 minutes!

Just a reminder, copying the text "~original" and and pasting it in your already posted images(minus the quotation marks! ) brings the pictures back. Just paste it after the .jpg at the end!

Andym,

with a little effort, and a lot of try and test, I was able to do what you suggested. 
BUT... when I exit the page, and reloaded it, the pictures are disappeared again! 
Sounds as I forgot to "save" the modified page. 

Could you please help?
A step by step guide would be great!

Thank you!
Marco

Please explain further.

After the .jpg part of your image type ~orginal and it should show.

So we've had the server change today, but I'm not sure if it's that, that has affected all my pictures or if Photobucket has just caught up!

Could be the switch over as none of my photos are showing in threads (they are in the gallery and visible).

We didn't see that coming, the entries in the posts are still having the old domain name http://leadadventureforum.com. As workaround, you can replace them manually by editing the post, with http://leadadventureforum.com and it should be fine then. I've reported that already to the new webmaster, hope the entries can be replaced automatically

Could it be that Photobucket has changed its mind? I can now see pictures that were previously dead.

Like in these threads.
