So we have all see that photobucket wants to charge you to use 3rd party hosting.

Well if you use Google Chrome or Firefox there is a work around. Add this add on to your browser.

Firefox

Chrome
chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/photobucket-embed-fix/naolkcpnnlofnnghnmfegnfnflicjjgj?hl=en

I tried it on firefox and it worked great.

Hope this helps.

Just note that only Chrome and Firefox users that install the Add-on will be able to see the pics as normal.
All others will continue to see the broken links.

This is correct. Thanks for adding that to the thread.
 
Brian....  evening....  Can someone with photo bucket click on "show original" then transfer that pic to their computer so we all can see a good picture ..??

Not sure what 'Show Original' is?
If you've pics in a PB account you can select either a single Picture or an entire Album, click Download > Save File > Open With (choose program, e.g. Paint) > then under File select Save As and save the pic to your Pictures or similar file.
Then you can host it from your PC or from another site such as Imgur.

Side note, that's what I do already. Depending on which camera I'm using, the pics can be as big as 3+ Mb. I review the pics in Microsoft Photo Viewer, and select Paint from the Open menu. Then I resize, usually to 50% sometimes 33%. Sometimes I crop or select only part of the pic. Then, Save As under a different name but still in the same folder on the card. Then I attach to a forum post or an email. The original pic is unchanged.
