Title: Can't view pictures
Post by: OceanWaves on August 30, 2017, 10:48:47 pm
Every time I try to view a picture I only see this: http://imgur.com/a/zXyvN (http://imgur.com/a/zXyvN) This started a while ago and I just can't stand it anymore.

Not sure what you're trying to show, but sometimes it can just be the connection / speed of the internet that prevents you from seeing the picture entirely. Could be a broken link or some other factor. I could be wrong but that's usually the case in some instances.

I'm kinda skeptical of it being that because it has been happening for over a month now and 90% of the pictures I view show me the same message.

Does this happen with new threads too? A lot of pictures on older threads are often deleted or moved and no longer visible here. Based on some quick reading I've done though, it seemed Photobucket released an update around the end of June that prevented users from embedding images on other websites, so now all previous images just are broken links like the picture you showed.

Sadly I don't think there's much that can done if certain pictures are broken. If the original poster is still active you could try messaging them to see if they would update their images, though. Otherwise the problem seems to be on Photobucket's part.

Ah, I see. Thank you for letting me know! I'll try switching browsers, that may help.

Ah, the link wasn't there for me in the original post. But as Torskite said, if this is usually on older posts and PB had an update, links could be broken and no longer available to view.
