If you use a windows PC platform, take a look at "Image resizer for windows" , it works well, very easy to use ,and its free

I think someone mentioned before Matty, it could be to do with the amount of traffic looking at your images, not sure if PB would register every time a thread with their 3rd party hosted pics is opened ?

Just looked ,and my pic thread had nearly 60,000 views, i would guess , out of that many views, one would think it would have drawn a few people to visit the PB site itself ?




This is why i felt it is important for me, if you have good images hosted on PB (ones you think they can sell), to delete them so they can't keep making money from your stuff (this includes add revenue raised from visitors to your account)

Ok, here is a solution to the PB issue. Too early for this but someone was thinking the exact idea I had...

It's a bit of a daunting task and needs help from members though.

First off, PB users need to download their entire PB account using a special Google Chrome plugin someone has recently created to stick it up PB.

This plugin downloads all of your album structure inside your PB account.

I want to report that it worked for me, I was able to restore all pics posted by me going back almost 10 years in just a few hours. I offer this information to help anyone in the same situation.
Step 1. Use Chrome browser. Install the chrome extension Download Photobucket Album. This will allow you to quickly download complete photobucket albums, otherwise impossible. Here's the link to it https://chrome.google.com/webstore/...mpbbfglflhdhbmimlcacoojpkeopelc/reviews?hl=en
Step 2. I'll use a Mass File Rename program to rename images with "%20" (sometimes photobucket adds this to file names) and substitute it with "-".
Step 3. I'll Upload images to NP with Original/no date folder file naming.
Step 4. Run SQL query in the forum database (in the case of vbulletin it's the mst_post table) to replace all instances of "%20" with "-".
Step 5. Run SQL query in the forum database to replace all instances of the photobucket URL section with your new domain.

All you guys need to do is download the Chrome plugin, download your complete PB account with the folder structure.

Zip it all up, get that to me and I'll do the rest...
