Yeah, I forgot how to use Photobucket. I wonder if my husband can get my stored pictures off there. I lost almost everything in a hard-drive crash a few years ago, so it would be nice to at least have those.
Yes, I’ll add you to the Morning Kitteh list. It is different from Slings-and-Arrows’s.

Here's how to do it, assuming you still have your login username/password to your PB account (or use the "Forgot my password" process).
- You have to disable your ad blocker if you use one, for photobucket.com.
- Ignore or just close their "You are over your limit...blah...blah..." popups, and click the "LOGIN" at the upper right corner. Eventually you will get to your library of pics, as thumbnails (smaller versions).
- To download a pic, click on its thumbnail in the library, so that it becomes the only pic on the page. You should see a gray select bar with five or so things on it, e.g. star, pencil, magnifier,... and gear.
- Click the gear. You'll get a drop-down menu with "Download" on it.
- Click "Download". You'll get a dialog box that lets you save the pic on your computer.
So the Good News is that you can download copies of all your pics. The Bad News is that it's a time-consuming manual process. But at least it's possible to get the pics.
Good luck!
