Yup the admin blocked my site for reasons unknown so it's not going to work anymore :) it'll work everywhere else tho other than this forum but here you'll need to use their attachment method.

how to link to pics for signature:

I missed a step if you are not using 'quick reply' - sorry, you need to click on 'attachments' first and then 'add files'

Just been onto pb and deleted all my photos then deleted my account. It was a struggle with all the adverts blocking almost all of the screen! It's almost like a ransom!

Having cancelled my subscription with Photobucket they have (as I had expected) locked me out and are holding my pictures to ransom.
I have copies of them all so not bothered, my links are still working although not sure how long that will last. In the meantime I've moved to a combination of postimage.org and Microsoft OneDrive :thumbsup:

I stopped using BotoPhucket as soon as the forum let you add photos! :lol:

I keep mine on my hard drive, backed up on a USB that is backed up onto my old PC - just don't want to have to get online to access them in all this "virtuality" (to me it doesn't really exist). :lol:
