Figured out the issue, it would help if I looked at other sites to make sure. This no longer works on Dreamwidth as Dreamwidth adds a weird url before the image for some benign reason. Everywhere else it works fine. Hence my confusion thinking it was isolated to my Macbook.

Worked at first. Now brings my browser to a complete crawl. 10+ seconds per page load on "Waiting for Photobucket Hotlink Fix"
