Was just looking at my project thread and all the pics are blurred out, suggest all that still have pictures save them to your computer.

Yes its definitely gone blurry, see no sense why it would be clear on your phone.

Actually it's the same for me. Fine on my phone, but blurry at work.

I was able to display the image by going direct to photobucket. Maybe they're detecting the referring URL and returning the blurry image for anything that's origin is not photobucket. Who knows what they're doing.

I spent over 12 months trying to get them to rectify their mistakes, then go to the Philippines, get eyes checked in the morning and pick up glasses that same evening. No prob since.

Airfare to Manila + cost of glasses (2 pair + sunglasses) was less than the total cost here.

I believe the Specsavers lenses are done in Hong Kong anyway. Philippines it was done at the store.

I use https://imgbb.com, never had a blurry problem. I've noticed Photobucket does this on a few forums I'm on.
