Photo Links stopped working
Why are my pics not showing images, just links to the image file on photobucket?
They used to work, did photobucket change something?

It appears that you are linking much more than just the photo.

Agreed, I think you'll want to snip of everything after the .jpg

Edit: Maybe not, seems PB isn't liking the embed code.

If I cut your link and check it direct it works.

Are you on a paid photobucket account?



Not minority enough!

I haven't used PB in years. Try using the direct link, but must be inside the IMG brackets.

The (1) in the link is the problem. The forum software's IMG tags can't handle parentheses. Are you able to generate a URL for the image without the (1) in it?

You may have to resort to downloading the photo, renaming it to something that doesn't contain (1), and then reuploading it.

I'll see how editing the link works.
Help appreciated greatly!

Flickr did the same bullshit, now it requires I edit the link, basic copy and paste won't work.
