It's a bit out of focus, though. Is the original pic fuzzy?

Yep, I got all excited and took the pic with a flash. BTW, that was such a much better experience than PB. The ads were getting to be totally obnoxious.

BTW, I know I'm probably being an idiot but can anyone tell me why I keep getting img on both sides of my pics?

Can't help you there - I know zilch. But it's so nice to not be submerged in advertisements

I don't think you can edit photos to have different effects, colours etc, which is a shame.

Okay, I just figured it out. For all this time I've been clicking on the little picture icon and pasting the address in. I didn't know that you could just paste the address directly into the text. Duh!

Here's the last thread where I posted a bunch of pics: http://forums.longhaircommunity.com/...110257&page=15

Hmm... Midnight, yours are visible, but...

... Willowlyn, yours are not.

Mine are still there too. I'm not using PB any more but won't close account if they don't mess with the pics I've already linked.

Are you copying the bit that says "forum code" and then using the image button on the forums? If so, that's why! The "forum code" already does exactly what the image button does, so all you have to do is paste it into the body of your posts.

Yep, that's what I was doing

I do know I will make sure I always have backups from now on though.

As soon as I figured out what PB had done I deleted my pics and closed my account as well!

Question about imgur. I read the TOS and I see that it says this. The bold part I am confused about. Anyone have knowledge?

"... Don't hotlink to adult content or to file-sharing, gambling, torrent, warez, or Imgur rip-off sites. Don't impersonate someone else. Also, don't use Imgur to host image libraries you link to from elsewhere, content for your website, advertising, avatars, or anything else that turns us into your content delivery network. If you do – and we will be the judge – or if you do anything illegal, in addition to any other legal rights we may have, we will ban you along with the site you're hotlinking from, delete all your images, report you to the authorities if necessary, and prevent you from viewing any images hosted on Imgur.com. We mean it. "

So when they say avatars do they mean like on this forum? Are they saying they also are not ok with 3rd party image hosting? I am confused.
