Photobucket is restricting access to your images. This a great thing and maybe a not so good thing. Read about it here ...

So, if my photobucket is totally unlocked then no problem?

according to photobucket, yes.

photobucket has kicked the bucket for me and many others - it's "feature" ridded architecture is too constricting and access and usage is horribly slow.

i recommend dumping photobucket in favor of any other free online archive image service. i've been using www.imgur.com (http://www.imgur.com) for nearly 2 years and can recommend it to all - fast and easy.

Thanks Rob. I have not done much with PB because it is a PITB. Will look into Imgur.

I like your link to the Buffalo Rifles. Looks cool!

Guess I missed something with "imgur" looks like another social website to me. Not a big fan of sharing my photos with others unless I choose to do so like on TradGang. Guess I will tough it out with PH
Rob, I do thank you for trying to make our experience here more enjoyable and easier. I know being Admin is no walk in the woods.
