Any Buddies experiencing PhotoBucket "Exceeded Bandwidth" kinda blockage? Here's the

Err...quick FIX...

Recently ALL of Orchi's pictures being hosted...
exclusively in Photobucket for FREE...that were later...
uploaded in all of Orchi's postings that contain those pictures...
being hosted in PhotoBucket...were somehow "WIPED OUT"...
thus NOT being able to be uploaded onto the VRF...
n the same happened on the other Vintage Rolex forums...also.

Immediately the nightmare comes to mind...that possibly...
all of Orchi's hard work would have been...screwed.

Orchi tried to re-check the Storage Size usage bar in Photobucket...
only to be indicated that...although Orchi's total amount of pics...
stored in PhotoBucket was only taking 29% of the FREE...
n available storage space...
the "Bandwidth usage" of 10.0 GigaByte...
has been exceeded...or something like that...

NOT familiar with what the heck was going on...
the other alternative shown to be available with PhotoBucket...
is asking Orchi to upgrade to PhotoBucket PRO account...
which would cost about USD25 per year...or something like that...

Meaning...PhotoBucket would no longer seem to be FREE for Orchi's...
extensive usage...

What a lousy deal that was...

Then instead...Orchi sort of found...
a quick FIX to the problem...
after searching Google...
hoping to find a solution to Orchi's dilemma...
as spending USD25 a year is a considerable amount of $...
considering that PhotoBucket proclaims the usage of its pics hosting...
resources is FREE...to begin with.

So here it is...
what Orchi has discovered to be the quick FIX to the problem...
that Orchi wishes to share with the TRF Buddies here...
or at the least with those that are using the Mozilla FIREFOX...

At the FireFox browser...
TYPE...........................: About:config
PRESS Enter.

When prompted, CLICK............: I would be careful, I promise
Next Window would appear.

In Field "Filter", TYPE........: network.http.sendRefererHeader
FIND that Field at the bottom listing.
RIGHT Click the Field, CLICK...: Modify

On Next POP-UP, TYPE...........: 0 (instead of "2" as shown)
CLICK..........................: OK

CLOSE(X) the Window.


NOTE: For those that has plenty of pics being hosted in PhotoBucket for FREE...
or whenever your FIREFOX Browser fails to upload any pictures...
IF you wish to...you could undertake the above measure...
so as to prevent having the same problem that Orchi had recently...
even though...you may have not experienced it...just yet.

IMPORTANT: TRY NOT TO BE TOO CURIOUS TO ATTEMPT MAKING OTHER CHANGES
IN THOSE OTHER FIELDS found in the FIREFOX system...

VOILA!!! ALL the pictures that were seemed to be "WIPE OUT" from the postings...
in the relevant Forum...would be uploaded n "RE-APPEAR" again.

NOT sure how that problem came about...
but the above quick FIX has worked for Orchi...

Hopes the above helps those experiencing the SAME problem...too.

Best regards
Orchi.
