You need to insert ~original after the bit that says .jpg and before the bit that says [/IMG]
So in other words it should look like this
.jpg~original [/IMG]
If you go and edit your pictures in your posts to add this extra bit of code the images will display again  |
Thanks, tested and it does work, (see below) but it is a lot of work finding the appropriate image on PB and re-editing.
A quick look at doing this, suggests it might involve a lot of effort to add that on a per image basis. The image would have to be found on PB, to copy the link, then the extra code added in when pasting it.
A slightly quicker way is to Edit your original post, click the square box in the top right corner to switch editing modes, you then see a sort of 'code view' of your post - like this, which shows the original link....
[IMG]-----http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq276/harrym1byt/HBCompensator.jpg[/IMG]
That needs editing to this...
[IMG]----http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq276/harrym1byt/HBCompensator.jpg~original[/IMG]
Several ----'s added above to prevent it trying to show the actual image..
An even quicker way and I don't know if it could be done, would be for a mod with suitable experience might be able to run a search through the entire forum, for lines of code containing '.photobucket.com.' then replacing the following incidence of .jpg[IMG] with .jpg~original[/IMG]
