  • Fixing missing post pictures from photo hosting sites like Photo Bucket

    Since Photobucket changed their policy, most pics hosted with them are hidden. For those that used them, there is an easy way to put them back. It is always best if you upload pictures to the forum so we host them. This will make sure the forum pics stay visible.

    This is the method I used to fix others posts using Google Chrome:
    If you have the picture still, then skip this and go to the upload part.
    Right click the photo in the post and click "open image in a new tab".

    The image should be visible in the new tab.
    Right click the image and click "save image as".
    Now save it to a place on your computer.

    Edit the post with the missing pics and click go advanced. This will allow you to manage the attachments.

    Once you have up loaded the picture, you need to add it to the post. You need to delete the old picture text so you can put the new one in.

    This is what it should look like when you are done. Hit preview post and see if it worked. Submit the reply if all is good. If there are multiple pics, just do the same for all of them.
