Some Recovered Photobucket Images.

gone but not forgotten
The Chrome extension which unblocks Photobucket images is working well so I'll put the following recovered miscellaneous images on and leave at that. Links to posts under the images.

Last night (14th Oct) Photobucket blocked all 3rd party hosted pics even with the Chrome Embed Fix extension, but overnight they have suddenly stopped blocking 3rd party pics and they are now all visible from any browser as shown below. Whether it stays like this remains to be seen.
IE, Chrome, and Edge running in my laptop.

Really sorry Phil. Completely forgot about re-posting the recovered images. Now working through them. Viv.
 
I think most people who did use them have stopped using them and never will again. Their block was easy to break and I simply used extensions in Chrome to recover lost images. They did block the first extension but someone came up with a new extension and the latest method I have used is to simply to add ~original to the end of the image address which then makes the image visible.
ps: PB only blocked images which were posted as 'hot links' on other websites.

I came across this article, on an American Forum I visit, about Photobucket realizing its great mistake last year.

Too late for me.

I had hundreds of photos in Photobucket "hot linked" to the SkyscraperCity web site and many other web sites.

When they made this announcement I removed all my photos from Photobucket and shut down my account.

I moved some photos to Flickr and updated the web site link but it was too big a job to move them all.

This left many "holes" on web sites like SkyScraperCity (and many other web sites) where people have removed their photos from Photobucket so there is now nothing to display.

I will never use them again so that was a terrible marketing decision wasn't it!
 
As far as I could see Guilbert most on that Stateside Forum were of the same opinion as you. I am sure the PhotoB folk have lost a packet through that 'greedy' decision. I am sure many have defected elsewhere and due to the hassle encountered vow never to return. Assuming they relied on advertisers I am sure many saw a declining viewing audience and pulled their ads.
