Huge issue with Photobucket and photos in XMarks threads

[Barb T]

If you go to your Photobucket account and log in, you should find a link to "Download album" under Actions on the right hand side of any window that shows the slides in one of your albums. It will download a zipped folder of all your images. If you have more than one album, you need to do this for each of your albums.



If you want to make a new post in XMarks, you can insert an image directly from your hard drive (i.e., without a Photobucket URL) by clicking the Inset Photo icon above the post text window (see below) and then browsing to the photo you want to insert.



Once it's uploaded, you can double click on it and select the size you want it to appear in the post window.

If you have old threads with links to Photobucket, you're pretty much stuck with the ugly "ransom" image because threads are locked after 90 days, and you can't edit a locked thread. This is what has made so many people irate on forums, blogs, etc. all over the world.
