[Solved] Image Hosting
« on: June 12, 2013, 03:58:32 PM »
So, once upon a time, I was able to get a direct link to an image with Photobucket.  Like you would go to the link and it would just show you the image in the browser window.  Nothing else.  Now, no matter what I do, it's determined to redirect me from the image to a Photobucket page displaying the image (but resized to fit the frame) and all of the info about sharing it, etc.

I was trying to link an image from Ira's sheet and I just want it to take you to the image itself.  Using the so-called "Direct" link option will still redirect to the page.  And I've been able to get it to work with TinyPic by replacing the "s" or "i" at the beginning of the url with an "o," but that doesn't seem to work for Photobucket; it will still redirect me.

Has anybody else experienced this, found a way around it, or knows of a different image host that will allow me to do it?

PB's been doing that for a while. I know I've sometimes been able to get it to work, but a lot lately it's been uncooperative. Imgur.com is pretty good and it's what I've been using a lot lately.

I've noticed that if you click on the image again and right-click "copy picture url" and then paste it into the browser, it kind of works.

sometimes

Oh yeah, that's frustrating.  I just tried it a couple times and it would work and then it wouldn't. -_-
*shakes fist at Photobucket*
