You will notice my avatar is missing, this is because I have deleted my photobucket account. Why? I hear you ask. (or is that SWMBO again :-X) I uploaded a pic on another forum relating to some building works, and the first reply pointed out that they now had access to my whole PB picture library! Clearly something I am doing wrong, so could one of the techno experts please explain how this can happen, and how to prevent it in future?

TIA :y

Probably set to public, so they could browser folders.

If you upload personal pictures, you want them set to private and setup one public folder for all forum junk or things you don't mind others seeing

You can lock it, for private use. Or unlock for public use. :)

Private use only shows the pic you post. Public they can see the one you post, then scroll through the rest of the library.
