Again, thanks to all for your input. It is greatly appreciated while I work out these details! I'm guessing now...that once you make particular pix viewable to the public, then they are public no matter what album they are in. Doesn't seem right, but maybe I'll figure out something else later. Thanks, Wes. Glad the pix are crisp. I don't like having the writing on the pix either, but have been forced in that direction (by this site's owners- TOS) & folks who have decided they can lift my pix without asking. Just trying to make it a tad more difficult to remove my name. I'm sure there are ways around it. At least I don't put name right across the middle, like proofs. Not sure what you mean about a tripod (do you see one?)...but no, I don't use one (should, but haven't gotten there yet). Christopher, I also use Picasa. I like it, but use it for things other than forums. While I'm here & thinking about it, trying a Picasa pic, to see if it works. Each online site has its pros & cons. I started with Photobucket...no, I take that back. I started with Photopoint! Anyone recall using that one? It went bankrupt (right after collecting my membership fee)! I paid WAY too much moola to get 16 CDs of pix back from the company that took over (Sony ImageStation??)! That was back when you had to scan all your pix into your computer! Sorry, I digress! Karen, not sure if it matters about Photobucket or Yahoo. I think those & Google are interconnected now. At least, with Flickr, I know I have to make the pic viewable by the public to be seen here by all, regardless of belonging to any particular online photo-hosting site. Thanks on the Aloe! Howard, I was thinking how to eliminate yearly fees I pay. Flickr offered a terabyte of space free, with higher resolution. I think I just figured out it won't make much difference to me having a free acct with Photobucket, so I will probably keep it. I don't upload high res pix there anyway. Will have 2GB of space free (have 22GB now that I don't use). All this exercise to figure out I need do NOTHING! Ha! I like to be able to do batch thumbnails from PB. Not sure that is available at any others. I was concerned about privacy issues. I still believe people can get your pix from Flickr via Google. At the site they can't, but there are other ways. I have found my pix on the web, on other peep's sites/blogs. Not nice! This link ~same as one below, should take you to our latest succulents ~of a different fare (OT -so I won't mind if you guys aren't interested-just some things keeping me busy these days). I've got to stop. This is getting quite long-winded! Thanks for your help!! http://flic.kr/s/aHsjFVBKXm Here is a link that might be useful: Succulent babes -horsey kind

It is the most obnoxiously intrusive ad I have seen. I have tried to scroll up to the x to close it, but it won't let me-it keeps bouncing back to the center. Don't the idiots that designed or bought the ad realize it has the opposite of the intended effect? I wouldn't buy the product for any reason. When clicking return to Hosta Forum it restarts the pop up ad, so I have been using the back arrow instead. Les

How can I get whoever owns this web site to respond to my comment? It is absolutely inappropriate for this type of advertising to take place on this type of web site. It borders on obscene. If they want a web site for porn, they should do it and not ruin a wonderful gardening resource site! Please, fellow gardeners respond. Yes, I know that pop-ups can be blocked. My comment is why does the owner of this web site find it necessary to solicit this type of advertising?

Thanks to your Perserverence and Determination, my Firefox has the moderating abilities once again. Zep, I re-installed Version 6-7 and it is working. This was my version I had on the machine previously. So unfortunately any updates will be ignored for a while. Have a very Merry Christmas and relaxing holidayZep, Ravencajun and other professionals. You have really deserved some much-needed time off (hopefully).
