Can't Get Backgrounds To Save

[Jaguar]

Namaste,

In my Advanced Styles & CSS Visual Editor - Background - Background Image

This started last night and I just don't know what I'm doing wrong. I can't save any backgrounds. I know it ain't that ~original tag that Photobucket puts on the end of all their links, cause if I remove that I get their 'loading size" for my images.

Background Links :

Thank You

Hi, Jaguar.

For the sake of testing, which background goes to which forum?

Doesn't matter that's what I was trying to do. And I did try all this in Incognito Mode, NADA. It just will not save at all.

I'm not sure why they made it work this way, but trying to link to the original image on Photobucket always links back to the HTML page, which is why they're not working.

For instance, every time I click on this one:
http://i1285./a590/Zen_o7/XYZ%20Proboards/Pro246_zpsfb045693.jpg~original

I'm brought here:

If I view the full image and right-click the image to view it by itself the image will be cached in my browser, after which I can view the image without issue from the first URL. I would suggest hosting your images on a different host as Photobucket has made changes that make it much more difficult to directly link to their images.

THANK YOU Brian, namaste

I see exactly what your saying, there's no ~original on the end in the address bar and their's no a590 either, it just says user.

Yeah they have made lots of changes and I fired off an email to them, so it's from Photobucket end, I'm not surprised. They want peeps to upgrade their service to ad free, so there's lots of issues.
