Warning

Anyone with a Photobucket account, they have been playing about and made some accounts public,
Just check and if yours is public, just click on the "public" and alter it to private.

Re: Warning

Oops, sorry Jimmy. I'll amalgamate my post with yours. I didn't realise you'd started a new thread about this.

----------------

This is what I put:

I'm not putting in this in Technology for a good reason, and that's because more people read in General Chat, and this is important.

Last night it came to light that one of my Photobucket accounts had been changed, due to changes made by Photobucket, and it was no longer a private album.

It was Jimbo that unwittingly highlighted this problem in my Photo Album section in Photography, so I had to go into that Photobucket account to re-set my privacy settings. I went into my other account tonight, and the settings had been changed in there as well.

If your Photobucket account was originally made private by yourself, I'd urge you to check it now, even if it still says Private Album.

Re: Warning

I went straight over and Checked mine as soon as I read this.....They were all still Private, thank goodnes. Thanks for the Warning.
Think I'll just keep an eye on that Site for a Wee While...just incase.

Re: Warning

Thanks for the warning folks ....

Re: Warning

I had some of my artwork on Photobucket some years back and people were downloading it for free, I was informed! I removed myself from the site.

Re: Warning

Mine's still private but thanks for the warning I will keep my eye on it.

Re: Warning

Mine still lsaid Private when I logged in but, on looking through the Privacy Settings, all the boxes were ticked, making it Public.

I wouldn't have known if it hadn't been for Jimbo.
