The forum no longer allows direct links to my photobucket files, this is something new in the last month or so.
Is this a change in the FOTR site or an inyernet issue?

No change to anything on this site I am aware of.
I am In Kruger at the moment so cannot do a full check, but will do so on my return in 10 days. Am able to access mail only at the moment.
Cheers

Re: Links to Photobucket photos
I am also not aware of any configuration change. However, it might be related to a software re-install I did following the FOTR website hacking that happened about two weeks ago. I will take a closer look over the next day or two.

Re: Links to Photobucket photos
If I use the direct image entry which worked in the past
{img}http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll17 ... a.jpg{/img}
I now get the following message
It was not possible to determine the dimensions of the image.
Please note the [] changed to{} to allow this to enter as an example
If I use the link only
http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll17 ... r-764a.jpg
This will allow access, but only after clicking the link.
The size of the picture itself is within the forum limits.
Hope this will help in the diagnosis

Re: Links to Photobucket photos
Thanks, Ian. Actually I started getting the same error message when I tried posting thumbnails from Railpictures.Net leading to the full size photo. I found that if I just posted the link to the full size photo, rather than the thumbnail, it worked. Strange.

Maybe they have disabled hot linking.
Not quite on the rails.
