Fix for the dreaded Photobucket "You need to update your account"

[Bmachine]

While Dan is implementing a more permanent fix, I thought I would copy a fix which was originally posted by Markos and then by others in this Site How-To section.

There is a plugin that works for both Firefox and Google Chrome and it will make the original photos that disappeared during the Photobucket purge a few months back re-appear.

It is called "Photobucket Hotlink Fix". You can find it in the Tools menu under Add-ons or Extensions depending on which browser you are using.

Unfortunately, as far as I have been able to see, it does not look like there is an equivalent for Safari.

I'm glad you posted this, I was just getting ready to. The image import process is complete so what ever got fixed is fixed and what ever didn't will need some of your attention if you want your project listed. I'm starting the list now and hope to have the first pass completed soon...
