Bob Minchin pretended :
Every image hosted by Photobucket, used on every website has been disabled by PB. They are seeking those using PB for image hosting to be used on third party web sites, pay them a ransom of £400 to regain access.
There is simple workaround to avoid paying the PB ransom...
Who ever posted the link to the PB image, needs to edit the link by adding [~original] ignoring the square brackets, between jpg and [/IMG] at the end of the PB link.
The section at the end would as original read something like....
/TAZU%20MC%20Fail1_zpsc1zvuve8.jpg[/IMG]
That would need to be edited, to read
/TAZU%20MC%20Fail1_zpsc1zvuve8.jpg~original[/IMG]
