Looks like PB will not allow you to download your videos. Mad

I had downloaded a bunch several days ago but realized I had missed some in another folder. I may have to call the FBI. Big Grin

It's not easy. I removed any pics I had yesterday and had to do a Google search on how to delete my account.

- Log in
- Hover over the little "person" in the upper right corner
- Settings
- Account
- Delete account

Good luck. With all the freaking pop ups and trying to figure out where to click it took me about 15 minutes.

Good riddance to photobucket!

Just pulled off all my pics and deleted my account. F'em. Will look for a new site.

Guys, need a little help. I got an account on Postimage and uploaded my avatar pic. To share it, which of the things do I use: link, direct link, thumbnail for forums, thumbnail for website, etc.... None seem to work when I copy them into my profile to update my avatar. Thanks.

Sigforum keeps telling me this: "The provided avatar URL does not appear to be accessible."

Pardon me for the uninformed question, but if I can see my Photobucket images (both avatar and those in various threads) on this site, does that mean others can as well? Or can I see them because I'm not "third party."

Sorry, I am not a digital native and am barely literate in things computer.

If you can see them, anyone can see them, the "third party" is the place where you put the link back to your images on Photobucket.

"Third site" means the photos are linked on one site, but hosted on Photobucket, so when you see the image, (as on this forum) the image is not on SIGforum server, but on Photobucket's server and the image when viewed is being "delievered" from Photobucket's server.

The reason some people's images on Photobucket are still being serverd/seen on places they have linked them, is because Photobucket has not gotten to everyone's accounts and made the changes. Photobucket has grown over the years and the image libraries are on multiple servers and drive spaces, so it takes time to reconfigure the accounts.

It is just a matter of time.

Photobucket sort of "CNN'd" themselves.

They sent me an e-mail yesterday and then all my images here on SigForum went dark.

Deleted my 10 year old account today. Told them exactly why in their request for a Why.
