    What a great business plan: waste your money on useless, non-profitable acquisitions and then back-hand your regular customers WITH NO NOTICE.

    Yeah, Facebook for President 2020, that's the ticket.........

    If someone uses the Chrome tool or otherwise to successfully recapture images, I suggest they print the "how tos" to PDF so they can be archived on this site?

    Of course it does. Here's the easy way to tell: is it a computer? If yes, then it's spying on you!

    Thanks for the heads up, I can confirm this plugin works as of 8/18/2017 on google chrome. All images seem to be restored and accessible. I strongly urge those who are in need of a few of the great write ups to take advantage of this.

    Remember when we had to pay for our time on AOL? A few hours for a few bucks.. Back when the internet was starting up, we all chose globally for "Free" internet.. As in, We'll sell a piece of our self here and there for the access to the world wide web. Well obviously this snowballed to what it is today, and now not only is photobucket still collecting data they're also charging us too. Best of both worlds for them.

    Someone mentioned trying to edit the Valve Adjustment DIY to re-include the images.

    I printed that post to a PDF so I could later print to paper and use it in the garage. If we can get permission to use the original images, I can send them to whomever was going to do the editing.

    thats been done . if you use chrome and add the photobucket extension to it you can see all the pictures that are missing.

    in big fitzs post on valve adjustment a member made a pdf and posted the link but the link seams to be broken.

    The plug ins for Firefox for Photobucket Add Ons work well too. I am using it to view all the photobucket images I couldn't see with Safari.

    the servers are like any other computer storage space is limited. there are many photo hosting sites out there I guess what you have to consider is the reason you are posting photos and what it would mean if they were lost.
    I would assume that many photo hosting sites will soon follow suit and start charging as photobucket did
    http://postimages.org/ is a site that is easy to use

    you could do the photo host thing and a direct link incase the pb thing happens at least that leaves a link
