Did you ever notice while perusing around craigslist, that some posts have small photos, while others have those wonderfully large & clear photos? The larger photos are HTML links to Photobucket.

I discovered this purely by accident. I noticed this when placing my cursor over these larger photos, it would go from the "arrow" to the "hand" as if to say, "Click here!" So I did.

After a little research, I found out how to get a Photobucket account (for free) upload photos, and link them to a post on craigslist. The only thing I've seen so far I don't like is a non-secure log on. But, it's not as if I'm uploading my bank account and/or credit card numbers...just photos.

You can also 'copy & paste' a link into an email so that friends & relatives can view your photos without downloading them. Copy & paste link below.

You can put the settings to remain "private" if you wish. That way, only you can see the photos. However, I want people to see the old bicycles I've restored. I don't upload photos of myself, my family, etc. To each his own...

After reading your review and several others I will not go to this site. I do not want the whole world able to see photos that I upload. When I upload them on MySpace or WAYN I know they are fairly secure. It seems like photobucket is not secure at all.
