    Are you sure you aren't behind a firewall? I can see the picture in this post just fine, and that's photobucket.

    Alternatively, could you have accidentally blocked photobucket with AdBlock or similar?

    Yeah I don't have a firewall, and the window's one is off. For example I don't see a pic in the post you linked. And I don't have adblock. So weird, can't even remember when this started happening.

    Try another browser, or another computer in the same location (i.e. borrow someone's laptop and try to use it).

    Also visit www.photobucket.com, maybe sign up and see if you can host your own pictures there. Does some sort of blocking message come up when you try to go there?

    I can see the pictures in IE6 and no error comes up when I try to upload.

    Do you have any add-ons installed in FF that would have any kind of "block referral links" or similar feature?

    Why don't you just list the add-ons you currently have active in FF and maybe we can guide you to what's causing the problem.

    It wouldn't have worked in IE either, then. Nor visiting the site itself.

    My current addons are:
    Firegestures 1.5.6
    Java quick starter 1.0 (don't know what this is, uninstall button is greyed out)
    Removes new tab button 1.0 (literally).

    I tried disabling all these addons and I still couldn't see pbucket pictures. (yes i restarted firefox after every time etcetc)
    What the heeelll.

    Well, if it makes you feel any better, when I Google your issue this thread is on the first page of results.

    Check your proxy settings, all browsers (especially Internet Explorer - even if you never use it).

    Check your blocked images in Firefox. Options > Content > one of the Exceptions

    Check %windir%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts and see if anything put in an entry for the Photobucket servers

    Can you even properly resolve Photobucket? Command prompt > nslookup photobucket.com (you should get a bunch of entries). Also do a ipconfig /flushdns and then resolve photobucket again.

    Edit: sorry for some of the pointless tips, I should have read that it works in IE. I'd just rip out Firefox (registry, add-ons, profile data, etc) and reinstall to be honest.
