I'm posting this here instead of over in the Photo Forum, because it's strictly a question about how to do something unrelated to the gallery there. Move it if it's in the wrong place, please.

I've been using a picture of my own as my home page on Firefox. Now I've decided to change it to a different one. So, I put the picture on my Photobucket account. I went to the "Change your Homepage" place on Firefox, and put in the url of that picture. However, what I'm getting is the whole Photobucket page, ads and all, rather than just my picture. I've tried various options that PB has, (email, post to website, etc) but can't seem to find the one that just shows my picture without all that other stuff. I know it can be done, because I've done it before. Every time I go to PB, they've changed the whole place around again and I can't find anything. Anybody know how to do this?

Never mind, figured it out. It was "Direct Link" I was looking for.

If I may pop in here and make a suggestion. I thought the same thing happened to me, but I had made a lot of albums and had never put anything in them. All my iamges were just in one place. One day I went there and half my images were missing. Notified Photobucket and found out they had been moved to the albums that I had never organized, and all my missing iamges were in their respective albums. Thanks Photobucket for the help. Those albums were on the left side of the front page at Photobucket and all My images were there and all organized nicely. You may want to check that out.

Sorry for the intrusion, but may help find some lost images.

Thanks....

Rocky140 I am very confused, how on earth would Photobucket know where you wanted the various images?

If they started shunting mine about I would be furious.
