Photobucket "Fix".

[KnewJack]

Didn't see this posted here and thought it may be useful to some folks.

Due to Photobucket disabling hot linking, many of the pictures on this site are lost. Much content and context is doomed. I'd fair to say that a great majority of pictures on this site, including a self-extimated 90% of the pictures in peoples build threads have fallen victim to Photobucket's rightful undermining.

However, a developer has made an add-on for both Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox that negates Photobucket's efforts. I found this information on Facebook and use Chrome myself. I've added the extension and can report that things are back to normal.

Click the link and add the extension to your browser:

That took all of 10 seconds, and it worked for a post I was looking at from 2011

Thanks

Doh! Guess I should have tested the links in the post. Thanks.

I think it's fixed now in original post.

To be honest, it's obvious that this and other site owners should commission a wget-level hacker to clone of all the pics to a different image hoster using a plugin like this. IMO the future image host replacement should be this site itself. (No external hosting needed, and there's tons of $$ coming in from various ads despite what he will say.) Then all the urls to this evil image host provider would be moved to the internal host url and we can work on cars again.
