I've been attempting to create a Google Chrome extension to fix the PB issue, but every time I get a work around, PB updates to fix it :mad2:
Petition for Photobucket to reverse the third party block
Hey guys.
I don't post here often (or maybe at all), but I absolutely appreciate everyone's hard work and opinions about all of the mods and upgrades available for our beloved 4Runners. A huge part of most of these write ups are the incredibly helpful pictures that you guys make the effort of not only taking these photos, but putting them up for those of us who are a little more visual. I appreciate the time and effort that every one of you put into this forum.
That being said, it was jarring to see the loss of so many pictures and so much work due to the actions of one company. Hopefully a work around will come about, but as we like to express our opinions here, I thought you guys might like this:

Let's hope this works!

Well, then this is an easy fix. T4R can use Apache's ModRewrite module and make a simple rule that automatically transforms the image URL's in this way. I would be glad to help and it would be just 1 or 2 lines of code in the apache config file.

I would recommend starting with this. This will trigger a condition only for photo bucket URL's, it will keep the entire URL intact and work for gif, jpg or png and then just append ~original:
Code:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^*\.photobucket\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^/(.*\.(gif|jpg|png))$ /$1~original [R=301,NC,L]TerraCrawler

I just tested with this version and it works:
Code:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^.*\.photobucket\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*\.(gif|jpg|png))$ $1~default [R=301,NC,L]

^^^ You guys are brilliant, and really doing a service to the forum it it works. That being said, I will still transfer all of my photos and delete my Photobucket.

I would be happy to work with others on here for a permanent fix. My Rewrite Rules work, I tested them. But if photo bucket closes that door and removes access to ~original, then it breaks.
What we could do is write a program that walks through the database, and for every photo bucket URL it grabs the ~original, uploads it to a local store, then updates the URL in the database. After this finishes crawling the database all photos will be restored.

Fantastic! If the fix was to add ~original, I would only caution that door may be closed in short order. As a content provider (T4R) you want to have control over the content. I would suggest we make a program that pulls the image, stores it into the users own storage space on T4R, and updates the URL. Now would be the time as we have access to the image data. Photobucket could easily lock us out in an instant.
