Default Photobucket fix

Should probably post this somewhere else but feel it's too important to not get max. coverage and it's the first I've heard of it.

Stocktake posted a blurred photobucket picture of an engine removal in the technical section. Irritated and somewhat bored I google photobucket fix and this hit came up: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/d...bifiaedg?hl=en
Opened Chrome and added the ad-on, Dave's picture is now crystal clear ! Just tried another from the how to - DMGRS How to change a solenoid - on my standard browser Safari blurred on Chrome as it should be.

But when I try to save the solenoid picture it somehow reverts to blurred, but it prints 100%.

Hope this helps others beat the ransom

The Photobucket splash will still be there I guess. There's also a Photobucket fixer Firefox here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/fir...-embedded-fix/

which is fine if you browse with Firefox. There's also one for Opera I believe, just Google for it. But for everyone else --?

If only there were one for (Tinypic) then it would save me a full winters work which is going to be a nightmare to correct my how to's

I think it is wrong that any photo’s that were used before the company decided to put a price on using their site, are blocked from viewing unless a ransome is paid. Is this not extortion? Or am I missing something ?

Here's Stocktake's picture from his post on the Technical Forum, no longer blurred or with splash. (and now unchained)

Sorry Steve, I tried your pictures but there’s nothing there to work with. Dave’s image is “just” blurred out, and after a bit of playing I was able to unchain the original and now it’s possible to save the image - the saved image is 100% clear and ransom free.

What a shame that we are held to ransom by a bunch of crooks.
What are they thinking?
