Unfortunately no.
The original poster can log in to their photobucket account and view their own images as normal, but only within their private account.
Unless they have paid for a premium account, their images will appear blurred and watermarked to them and everyone else when linked from any outside location.

Clicking on the photo generally does nothing.
If you right click and choose to "view the image in a new tab/window" you will still see the photobucket protected image.

I suggest to anyone who has a photobucket account and does not want to sign up for a premium account,
to log in to your account and download your images (if you don't already have copies).
You should then upload them to a new hosting site.

Another thing that photobucket has done to slow you down...
you used to be able to download your own albums of your own photos.
Now you are restricted to downloading single images.
And even that doesn't work sometimes.
Its easier to view an image, then right click and save.
But if you have a lot of photos to save, its a lot of frustrating work.
I know...I have done this.
