Can someone go into my Photo Album and take an image from the Img. script ?

Are you asking if someone can get into your PhotoBucket account and use your pictures as they please?  If your account is public, then yes.  If it's private, I believe it's still possible, but pretty unlikely.

Well, let's see:

Looks like it can be done, doesn't it?   ;)   Is that account set to public or private? 

By the way, I've noticed you linking to at least three different photobucket accounts.  Are they all yours?

2 that I know of, . .

Heck thats wierd ! I had no idea.

That doesn't seem right ? I would like to know how you got that much information so easily, I don't have it set to private !

If I post paste, for example in a forum, will that post stay active ?

I guess it's easy enough for me to check that, but what about setting to private ? Sorry, I didn't check further, I was to involved in exploring the uses to think about the abuses that are possible.

How did you three accounts, The two that I have one I use now and changed the password, heck what goods the *censored* password?

The 2nd account I thought, well I didn't think you could find ?

How'd you do that ?

It's easy.  Just right click on an image and select Properties.  Firefox shows the "Location".  IE shows the "Address", which is the same thing.  The Location or Address will show the full path to the image, including the image name.  Drop the image file name, paste the remaining address into the browser address box, and the photobucket main page for the account is shown. 

Like CBMatt, I don't know if this works if the account is set to Private.

Yes, it looks like someone could definitely link to your image files.  I don't know whether there's a way to logon to your PB account and see a detailed report of activity.  That would be good.  One thing any PB user might do is occsasionally logon to their account and look at the statistics for Monthly Bandwidth.  That's in the Account Options screen.

OK, this is all new to me, and I guess I gonna have alot of dumb questions, . .
but tell me how did you arive at my page or my albums ?

What was or is your first point of contact, was it the forum post img script or what ?

2. Again, it is not clear to me, from properties, or any other information source can someone activate a responce to upload from my computer, etc. ?

From that, I can see that your PB account is http://s166.photobucket.com/albums/u97/JoJoPoole/.  By pasting that into my browser, I see your PB images on PB.  ;D

For that, . . .For what ?

OK, When I am in my albums I click on the image and get the properties box,

but it is not the same as what you are showing, what is your first point of contact. I mean where does your investigation leading to my album begin ?
This is extremely important to me and I will appreciate your candor.

I mean the entire string of characters in the URL, starting with http, right on through to the / at the end.  In other words, the full web address, the full URL, for your PB account.
