Unavailable images—Photobucket and library threads

[Ophidian]

Hi, not sure that this is the right place to ask, but can anyone tell me if there is a way to view the photos in, for example, the Ficcare Library thread that were lost when everyone’s photobucket accounts went the way of the dinosaur? Or is is just gone? I’m sure that conversation has been had but I can’t find it. It would be such a shame if all that material really was lost.

For a personal fix... your browser may support a 'photobucket embedded image fix' extension.
I have one for my google chrome and all the photobucket pics appear when I view a page even though it initially says they have expired ;)
As a forum resolution, that is not much help in recovery though...sadly.

Thanks GG! I will see if I can make the image fix extension work. I saw lots of cursing photobucket there for a while but didn’t fully appreciate what a bummer it was until recently.

You're welcome; hope it works for you and others :thumbsup:

Yeah we lost a lot of awesome pics :(

You can try left-clicking on the picture, and "copy image link" in a new browser tab. That might take you to the original picture :)

Edit: No that didn't work, buggerit!
