RE: Bridge work
Yah, I asked Bootie where his pics had gone and he replied he'd deleted them from Photobucket.
Perhaps he didn't know that once you upload a pic to PBucket or any other hosting site you have to leave the pics in there forever.
If you delete 'em at the host site,you break the link and they also vanish from every website where you've posted them, so thanks to Bootie for demonstrating it by leaving us with little red stars..;)
Hey Bootie if you've got the original pics on your drive why not re-host them at PB so they'll show up again here?
In fact PB say we should always keep the originals on our drives or on a backup CD in case something glitches at PB and they're lost.

PS - I believe some websites sort of 'lock' any posted pics into their site coding, so that if the pic is deleted from the host the links are not broken.
PS again - I've got about 500 pics in Photobucket spread over about 5 categories but it's still hard to find them if you want to track one down unless you keep a painstakingly-written backup file system or whatever.
And once you host a pic there, it's very difficult to re-name it or move it to another category etc or the link will snap if you don't painstakingly get the procedure exactly right.
For that reason, once I host a pic, I never dare touch it again for fear of accidentally busting a link.
Oh, and I find Photobucket the best host, I've tried others such as Imageshack but they weren't as smooth.
