Picture in forum in low resolution Photobucket

Hi, many pictures hosted on the forum are displayed in very low resolution. A watermark is also applied to the picture "Host, Store, Show Photobucket". Any way to have it been displayed right on the first click? I found that if I save it on my windows PC, the saved file is the high resolutionone

ex: I'm getting this picture when I'm accessing this one from a DYI forum https://i483.photobucket.com/albums/...waxer/16-1.jpg

The forum doesn't control what Photobucket does, unfortunately. It's not you that has to pay, it's the image owner.

Nice trick about downloading it though!

Photobucket was the image hosting site for forums for a decade. It is now the bane of people looking for an ancient bit of tech knowledge. It used to be you could click on the image and it'd take you to the image on photobuckets site, but it doesn't seem to do that anymore.
I just started using a chrome extension that fixes the photobuckets blurring of hotlinked images. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/d...alioapbifiaedg
Works well so far, but use your own best judgement about using extensions.
