Looks like some enterprising folk have worked out how to get around the hostage messages from Photobucket, for the majority of browsers. This was posted on a Facebook group I'm a member of - I've added the Chrome extension and now all the build thread photos on car forums work again - yay! May need to clear your browser cash or reload the pages to view.

Missing Photobucket images ?

Some direct links to get extensions for Firefox and Chrome browsers to delete the PB ransom demand and restore the original image:

Firefox extension https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fir...ix/?src=search

Chrome extension https://chrome.google.com/webstore/d...flicjjgj?hl=en

This is a painless exercise, it simply adds an extension to the browser and doesn't alter anything in your account or computer registry.

Adrian,
Tried the Firefox but it made no difference.
Landed up with "Multiprocess is not enabled"


Researched this and found this

Re-enable multi-process support disabled by Windows utilities
Some accessibility tools on Windows might turn off Firefox's multi-process support. Follow these steps to re-enable it:
1. Type in about:config in your address bar. (Click the I accept the risk! button to pass the warning screen).
2. Look for the accessibility.loadedInLastSession preference and change its value to false.
3. Clear the accessibility.lastLoadDate preference by right-clicking to bring up the context menu, and selecting Reset.
4. Restart Firefox.

Tried this and still had the same result.
I have given up and hope that folk stop using PhotoBucket

Have you tried holding down ctrl and pressing f5? Should refresh the cache....

Or just clear your browsing history

Thanks Adrian,
Ctrl + F5 did not help, but clearing all history and cache worked.

Great find! I think there is more than one on Chrome but they do the same thing.

Many, many great threads are viewable again! Thanks

Photobucket seem to have done a U-turn and all previously blocked images should now be view-able. They have also reduced their packages by 95% and sacked whoever was responsible!
