I believe you have to restart your computer. I just upgraded and after restart I can see the pictures in your project journal again.

Not sure why it only works for some people; this little fix has restored access for me to Photobucket hosted pics. I will specifically check out Waybad's build thread.
Strange; I can't see all his pics. Early ones, yes, latest ones, no.
I will consult with my brother who is an expert on such things. It worked on thousands of Photobucket pics on his website.

it has something to do with not clearing the cache properly.

I find that if i click on a photo that is blocked and go to the photobucket link and then hit control shift and r simultaneously the photo becomes visible again.
