Hey folks,
Photobucket is currently holding our photos ransom, and in the process has destroyed many DIY/info/build threads.
If you want to archive / back-up this information before photobucket bites the dust (or this workaround stops working), see below.
Quick How-to:
1. Download "Photobucket Embed Fix" plugin for Google Chrome:
2. (optional) Use google to find links to threads you want by searching: "TOPIC site:r3vlimited.com", where TOPIC is the information you want.
3. Using Internet Explorer, or Firefox, find a thread filled with photobucket pics that are no longer accessible.
4. Open the thread you want to save in Google Chrome, you should now see the photos.
5. Save this page to your computer, using Adobe Acrobat or similar "PDF creator" software.
You just "print" the website to a PDF.
6. Upload the PDF so we all have access.
7. Back up the files you saved to an external drive, cloud storage, etc.
Note: You will have to repeat steps 3 thru 5 for each "page" of a thread you're attempting to save. (If there is information on the other pages you want to save)

Here is a link to my google drive, which has the pages I've saved so far.
I've enabled editing on the folder, but I'm not sure if you will be able to upload to it.
If you are able to upload, please do so in a subfolder with your name, so we can keep track of what pages have been added.
If there is anywhere we should be saving multiple thread pages, either let me know or get to it yourself!
If you have a better solution for web-based file storage, please advise.
