There are some scripts now running in other Fora too - I know Mike made it available to others who were having the same problem. Although there are client side fixes, the next time PB clamp down, the possibility is that this will all repeat itself again, so we encourage users to upload directly, as it guards against your posts going into PB oblivion again.

I know you have put the ‘~original’ after the file extension as your workaround, but that is likely to be plugged in the future, then back to square one....

As you can see, removing that ‘fix’ and the image still shows, which is probably down to our script running.

Yep, that chance is definitely there. But the longer things go on... The less likely it looks? (that's a year that workaround has worked now and I'm surprised they didn't sort it within the first month!)

It is excellent having that script btw, I don't in anyway want this to be a suggestion I'm in any way denigrating it!

FWIW, Photobucket has in the last month changed their management team and completely revised their pricing policy from the utterly ludicrous one that the previous idiots brought in, to something much more reasonable (that if I wasn't now in the situation I'm in due to picking up extra bills following the relationship breakup, I would actually have been happy to pay).

This is another example, directly posted as the link from photobucket


That image is hosted on the forum, check the image url. As for your other one, I can't see it but that could be the work's proxy server blocking it as it does with many image hosting sites.

I really don't like getting into tit-tat responses (life is too short and its not really conducive to people continuing to get on on forums), but equally I can't stand by while people tell me that the facts of what I do, aren't the facts of what I do (when I'm the one doing it!)

As I said. I didn't post it as a forum hosted photo. It was posted as a photobucket link (that the forum has then harvested)
xantia_v6 wrote: 04 Aug 2018, 19:42 They do however still require a paid account to allow 3rd-party hosting. Their blocking of 3rd party image hosting was never totally effective, and for some reason (probably a bug in their software) some peoples accounts were never blocked.
I'll say again...
I haven't paid.
I still use them 100% for third party hosting on forums, every single time (though obviously this forum then harvests and updates what I have posted with the internally generated link, which is great/fine)
My photobucket account was affected.
I just manually alter the posted img link via the known hack, which works as it always has.
These are facts :)


As for the OP, the photos help.
I don't believe that is part 3 from the diagram I posted (I'm sure part 3 is the solid back part of the lamp, as previously suggested by others).
I couldn't find a parts diagram for the bumper that exploded it into different parts in that area, so looks like although that part may be a seperate small item (not part of the main moulding) it may not have been available to buy separately via the parts system??? (or I just couldn't find the right diagram :lol: which is possible, since the psa parts system isn't the most intuitive...)

Images that you linked to this site should not be affected, as we have made backups of them which we generally serve by default.

There are (mainly in the funny pictures and videos thread) still some missing Photobucket pictures.
