Im guessing most of you already know about this but the "photobucket hotlink fix" google chrome extension will allow you to view all PB pictures in forums just as they used to be. Very Cool! and its free!

Nice find! However, I suspect that Photobucket will figure out a way to break this "fix". It's usefulness may well be time limited. I hope I am wrong about this one.

Have Fun!

This fix is available as a Firefox add on as well: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/photobucket-fix/?src=search

Edit: after searching google, it seems that this fix will work until Photobucket blocks the host from fetching images. https://fixphotobucket.com/?hotlinkfix=1507060736050

Until then, anyone have a link to a TDI club thread that had disabled photobucket images to test the fix?

Update: Found one and the fix works. The images link back to photobucket. http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthrea...t=photobucket+images&hotlinkfix=1507061159867

Thanks for this phaser, works like a charm in my Mozilla Firefox.
