That is strange... I just looked at my attachments and there are little squares next to each, and at the bottom says "Delete selected". This is why I use the attach feature here, instead of Photobucket links. That way I have control of them.

These are the real attachments thru this board--ones you put up using "manage attachments" on the reply box. NOT links to outside urls like Photobucket.

I suppose if yours are from a LINKED url outside you could go to that place (Photobucket or whatever) and delete the picture there.
Wait a while (week or so) and put it back there and it would have a new address?

And this is why I don't have my real name on the net or my picture.

But if some dude wants my petunias...well, they can have 'em! LOL

MrsD, yeah I took my artwork down too. I didn't place a copyright on them and even if I did someone could take them. Oh well, those attachments must be outside linked. All is not lost since they look like gifs and such. Thanks so much to everyone who posted for all your help! :hug:

Sadly that's the internet. Like everything there is the balance. I've even had friends post pictures of me on the open net without asking despite my spending like 10 years trying to protect family images.

Regarding Photobucket... I had figured that if one posted links from there to forums such as this then it could eventually be removed/deleted by us if we wished at the actual Photobucket site and thus the image would not remain here. Not sure if that is correct or not, but that has been my experience.

Hi Lara

yes if you remove the image from eg photobucket that is linked here then it zaps it here too

if you remove your own pics from photo bucket it will kill the link if its a pic you just did a search then yeah you will have to do it the other way
