Topic: Photobucket thumbnails only - blocked by image proxy? - page 2. (Read 4952 times)
Yeah but the whole point of putting out thumbnails is they drive traffic to Photobucket.com instead of just having hotlink bandwidth wasted.
Suddenly TODAY Photobucket no longer works with exactly the same [img] tag format that it's had people copy for months, if not years.
Thats a real pitty if thats the case.
They don't make any ad revenue if people don't view the page. Each time someone views a hotlinked image they actually lose money due to bandwidth costs. Maybe they recently decided to disallow hotlinking because they were losing too much.
Something similar happened to ImageShack a long time ago. They decided to disallow hotlinking for a ton of images they were hosting, breaking them across the internet.

That URL redirects to a HTML page for me, so it won't work. It needs to link to an image, not a page. I know the URL ends in .jpg, but photobucket redirects me to .jpg.html
