OK PEOPLE - I HAVE A FIX FOR PHOTOBUCKET'S F@$% UP!
1. it does not require you to re-download or re-upload any of your photos
2. You WILL need to edit each of your posts that include a linked Photobucket photo, but the editing is simple and fast (I did the first page of my collection in < 30 seconds)
3. I cannot guarantee that this fix will last, but it works right now.
So, how does the magic work? Simple. All you need to do is add the extension "~original" IMMEDIATELY AFTER the .jpg (or .png or whatever the file type is of your picture), so if your post has something like this:
It should be edited to look like this:PHP Code:

That's it! it's still a PITA but it's a simple short term solution. If we can get something sorted out for uploading bulk images to TDT, then I would strongly recommend that thats the way to go.PHP Code:
