I got this info from the Flyrod forum I visit as much as this one. I downloaded the Firefox fix and can see the Ferminator again! Seeing Past Photobucket Hotlink Block
Unless the user deleted their photobucket account, every old photobucket image is still linked on this website (and every other place on the internet). Photobucket has chosen to show you a block image instead of the original image.
There are Free Add-Ons available for both Chrome and Firefox, which will let you choose to see the original photo instead of the "ransom block" image, both on this bulletin board and every other internet website.
For Chrome - chrome.google.com/webstore/deta ... aedg?hl=en
for Firefox - addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/photobucket-fix/
With this, you can see everyone's old photobucket images in context on every thread and every website.
Uploading the patch, you're not doing photobucket any favors, giving them any money, agreeing with them - all you're doing is restoring your old knowledge base to where it was before the photobucket ransom
If you want to remove the add on later, go to Add-ons/Extensions and remove or disable it, or with Chrome, just right-click on your toolbar.

Clicking on the Firefox link leaves out a few letters sir and won't connect. Thanks for the heads up but can you help a little further?

Very simple, open the Firefox menu, click on Add-ons & install the Photobucket Embedded Image Fix.
