Try this if you use Chrome. I've just followed these instruction and all the photobucket "upgrade" invisible image placeholders have gone back to images again, other than where folks have deleted their PB accounts!

Open Chrome
Click on the rows of small horizontal lines located in the top right hand corner or the white on orange up arrow top right if you have a later version of Chrome
Then click on "more tools"
Then on "Extensions"
Then "Get more extensions" if you already have some, e.g. Ad Block.

A link to "Photobucket embed fix" extension should appear. Click on it and you are done.

Hi thanks for this,
I've opened Flickr and clicked on a picture, but cannot find the select box. Can anyone advise me.
Regards Alan

If you click the curved arrow bottom right next to photo, then copy BBCode url, then just paste here without using the image box here

I tried that but all I got was the link, not the photo.

Not sure to be honest, some show some don't.
