Photobucket hack to fix old threads
« on: March 04, 2018, 06:02:41 PM »
By the way, there is a photobucket hack. I tried it on forums with editable old threads, like this one. It works. The following lifted from another forum.

"Seems there is a workaround for Photobucket's dastardly third party hosting ban.

If you edit your old posts and add ~original to the end of the image file name it should display property. So if you image tag looks something like this

my_image_file_name.jpg[/IMG]

change it to

my_image_file_name.jpg~original[/IMG]

I have no idea how long this will continue to work."

Might want to save the file locally so you have them for future

Outstanding!! Took me all of 10 minutes to change all my old posts, and it works....for now.
Thanks for that work-around.
