I'm sure this is an acceptable place for this post. If you mods feel there should be a more grand location for this, I totally understand.
It's very frustrating that we have so many helpful walk-through's, repairs, how to's, reviews, mods, etc. that "use to" have so many helpful pictures. A lot of people can't just envision the details on how to do something without pics. It's not only this forum I see it on so many various other forums that photobucket completely ruined.
So here is a simple hack to solve the default pic that PB used for all those helpful threads with pictures.

Go to your post.

Hit "modify", go to the URL string for the image and where it ends with "jpeg" simply type in

"~original"

right after jpeg, so it will now read "jpeg~original" (no quotes of course) then hit "save"

Here is a thread of mine that was ruined by PB and I did this to the top pic. I didn't do it to the rest yet so you guys can see the magic of a couple words. Not sure how long this will work for or if they will catch on? I feel they will probably be going out of business soon. In the mean time I encourage any helpful threads all y'all have to do this to. So to help all future air-gunners, motorcyclist, powder burners, machinist, whatever other sites you guys are goofing with.
PS. Your all welcome!! Man of 2018...For all sites.

I'll give that a try. I ended up taking care of most of my pic problems already but I think I do have some that still are the photobucket garb.

Yes it does work but like you say maybe not for long. Here is one that I did https://www.gatewaytoairguns.org/GTA/index.php?topic=105786.msg1003482#msg1003482

Thanks a bunch! I just fixed a whole lot of photos. For how long IDK.

The ones I couldn't fix were the photos I took of the 2017 GTA Fun Shoot. GTA removed the modify button on those post, otherwise I could fix them.

I received an email the other day from photobucket and they're trying to reel me in for about $120 a year, why the heck would I do that when Flickr works just fine for free

Probably trying to profit via taken peoples' photos "hostage". Dirty tactic out of greed. A new CEO probably took over and looking to maximize profit.

So your using there editing code function against them, very well done sir. They would have to declare a new function for the original picture while editing photos on there site to change it.

Wayne52 · « **Reply #8 on:** January 05, 2018, 09:54:28 AM »

It's nice to be able to give them a taste of their own medicine

I had the subscription to them for years too, there was absolutely no warning when they basically put the cabash on everyone.

MANY thanks Rob. I made this a sticky in Liz's Help Desk Gate.

I still haven't straighten out my photobucket posts yet but I'll be working on it.

Say, how do you guys insert photos in between your paragraphs like that? I mean how can it be done using the generic photo attachment tool that comes with GTA?

I don't think it can be done.

Mine are always at the end. But watching for an answer to the contrary.

I think that photo bucket pics would have to be moved somewhere else for permanent resolution to the problem.

I could never figure out how to place pics in between paragraphs either.

Host (store) your photos online in a free account. Use the "Insert Image" shortcut and paste the assigned URL anywhere you want the photo to appear. Between paragraphs, at the beginning or at the end. Works fine.

ezman604 · « **Reply #15 on:** January 04, 2021, 11:48:54 AM »

Taking a photo online and it's assigned URL. Will post it after this sentence.

And then post it again at the end......you can place a photo anywhere in the post you want.

THANKS Dave!

mrbulk · « **Reply #17 on:** January 05, 2021, 06:57:58 PM »

Hmmm, can't get it to recognize the file. Is there a specific photo download site that provides more workable links?

I'm using Box.net but it's a no-go here...(only your example which I copied/pasted works)...

mrbulk · « **Reply #18 on:** January 06, 2021, 06:14:35 AM »

just a test...

Bicycleman · « **Reply #19 on:** January 06, 2021, 08:50:19 AM »

Just a test - too?
