[HOWTO] Evacuate graphics from 'photo-bucket'
« on: 20181129, 13:30:11 »
Recent idiotic changes on PB have once again proved what jerks they are.
In 2017 they attempted to enforce a payment system by globally deactivating anyone's pictures.
That is why SuSi looks so empty in many locations.

Now the jerks at PB had to recognize what a terrible mistake they have done and stepped back
from that incredible practice.

What they now do is host your pictures with a watermark - but until when?

I strongly suggest everybody evacuates his GFX from that system.

There are also other issues that make PB highly impracticable.
One such is that you need JAVASCRIPT enabled. Everbody who has half a brain cell knows that this opens further issues.
Also if you simply want to "SAVE FILE AS" you get a download of an HTML page. What crap!

I am now evacuating my files. DEF-members have better means as you all know.

This is how to do it. Let's say we THOUGHT we downloaded a file called 'picture.png'

There is no preview in windows, strange, isn't it?

If you open it, IRFANVIEW for example complains that the file header is corrupted, and that is simply
because that file IS NOT a .png, it is an HTML document.

If you then open that file in for example notepad plus plus then you can see.
Locate the line starting with <meta property="og:image" content=

Example: "<meta property="og:image" content=ixxx.photo-bucket.com/albums/code/yournamemaybe/picture.png" />

Extract that link and open it in your browser. Then activate or ensure that JavaScripts for PB are running,
else the picture will not show.

If it shows now, then do not do the same mistake again, you can NOT simply SAVE FILE AS now.

What you can do, however, is COPY this GFX to mspaint and then save it where you want.
