I think people have too much time on their hands when they do nasty things like posting viruses on the net and it's sad because we really like photobucket but I thought we should warn others who use the site too.

warning to photobucket users |

This board lets you link to a photobucket account so you can post your pictures on here. We have had no trouble with that part of it but while looking at other
peoples pictures on the photobucket site itself our anti-virus warned us that we were in the process of downloading a virus off of the site. Luckily our
anti-virus stopped the connection before the virus managed to download and install itself on our computer.

Hey Piper!
It's more than just this board. It is all of Yuku. They only allow you to link to photobucket and no other site. I emptied out and closed my photobucket account the day I discovered one of my pictures on the site's main page. Then I found a picture from a DID friend's account posted on a website in Finland!! I use my Yuku image album instead and just don't post very many pictures. Thanks, though, for the warning to those who still use photobucket.

I don't know about that Ann.

I'll have to check that out. In the past, they've only given the photobucket or in the yuku image album as options. How do you browse to the location
of your pics? I've never tried using anything else and have no clue how to do it.

Wow, Paul! You're right though I guess for someone to share their own pictures, they would need to have some place to stash them online. Yuku has a direct
link between photobucket and yuku accounts, but it doesn't say that you have to use it exclusively.
Do you have to insert the URL into every post that you make or once you link to the picture you don't need to do it again?

Yes Ann,
Yuku needs to know exactly where the image is stored, so I need the full path to get there. Here is the full path to a Paulian Pretty with spaces inserted so that it stays as text: [ i m a g e n o b o r d e r ] h t t p : / / h o m e . e x e t e l . c o m . a u / p a u l i a n s / i m a g e s / M a n p 0 2 . g i f [ / i m a g e ] Paul the LionHeart
