Barb ,

Thanks for this information .

I wonder if this applies to all pictures used from Photobucket .

The reason I say this is because some years ago I set my Photobucket account to be private , whereby if one tries to click on one of my pictures from Photobucket here on XMarks it won't do anything . In other words , my pictures are not " linked " back to Photobucket .

I have noticed that when one clicks on some of the pictures here XMarks it can actually take you to that person's Photobucket library . I assume that scenario would be considered as " linked to Photobucket " .

Perhaps if a Photobucket account has it's settings placed on " private " then it's not third party sharing as the pictures that appear here cannot be " linked " back to Photobucket or one's own library .

Just food for thought .

I have checked some of my pics used here from my Photobucket account ( with settings on private ) and they are still ok , however , I could be wrong and that may eventually change .

Cheers , Mike
