At the time, the only (known) work-around was the one Firefox emailed me.
As that hadn't worked for me or several others i forwarded it to, i went to :
http://postimages.org/
Meanwhile i bought a 32GB USB drive and started downloading my photos from Photobuck'ay (like Hyacinth Buck'ay in her "diva" moments) many of which i had to do singly because they disabled their bulkdownloader fearing a mass exodus of their previously loyal victims.
Many of the threads i have posted photos on are now locked so can't be edited to update the image links and also trying to find individual photos among 3-4000 images is a nightmare!
Meanwhile postimages seems to be doing everything i need it to, it's fast, free and easy to use (much less complex than PB) and my more recent threads are in glorious technicolour rather than grey and white Braille.
