Old uploaded Photobucket images changing?

[Lonely Werewolf]

Hello everyone. So I was looking back at a number of previous posts/threads of mine, in many of which I posted Direct Links to images from my photobucket via a hyperlink. While in the past it did it's job as normal and clicking it would bring up the pic as normal. Now however, when I click them, sometimes it does that while sometimes it brings up the image in the album, just as though I had clicked the image and copy and pasted the url and not used the direct image link. When you click the same link multiple times it sometimes gives the link as it shoudl be while other times it doesn't.

However for new pics I'm posting it doesn't have this issue, I'm wondering if anyone else has come across this and if anyone knows possible reasons why it's happening. I'd rather not have to go back and edit the more important images again, but for some I might have to, to keep certain, more important threads looking as professional as before. Maybe it's due to some Photobucket update or due to forums having been attacked recently?

I'll post below an example of each format, just incase I didn't explain well enough:
This is what the images should appear as.
However randomly sometimes they appear like so.

Opening the same link multiple times results in the image appearing in both formats which really doesn't make any sense. So anyone else experiencing this?

usually you should get the result of just the picture view ( no album ) when you turn your album private

when its public - it can hyperlink to the entire album and other stuff inside - no idea why.
