The most important discovery of this month:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/photobucket-fix/ An addon for Firefox that restores all the broken Photobucket links. It works basically by tricking Photobucket into thinking the images were not embedded into a third-party website like LJ.
If you have Chrome or Opera, click on the above link: under "Read More" there are links to the equivalent addons for the other browsers.
The source code is available on github and looks harmless to me (but apparently sends usage statistics to google analytics - in case that bothers you). It works like a charm (on LJ). Yay, I can see old icon posts again!
Not sure how long it will keep working, but I'll make sure to backup a few icon tutorials while this works for me.
ETA: it doesn't work on DW - I'm assuming it happens when the image links are http and the rest of the page is https, but I'm just guessing.
