ToXIc · Apr 21, 2013

Is this why when I select a pic to look at it in the r2r app it takes me to photobuckets site?

Nope.

ToXIc · Apr 22, 2013

I am moving this to the forum announcements for all to see! Does this resolve that constant loading for images in the R2R app that some of you are getting?

Did not fix the problem for me.

Just one more of many reasons that I switched from Photobucket, to Flickr, several years ago...

Flickr does the same thing. Opens up every pic in a new window.

ToXIc · Apr 23, 2013

This only stops the link back.

This is about Photobucket replacing IMG Tag codes with Hyperlinks. Without IMG Tag codes, it's much more complicated to post your photos to other sites. With Hyperlinks, instead of the photo showing up, a link to the photo shows up, linking the viewer back to your photobucket acct.

You can configure Flickr to open up your photos in several ways, depending on how you use it most.
