I never delete any of the Photos that I share on websites. Even if it's in an old Post, you could be helping somebody several years later and not even know it. Also, think about how many times you've read old Post here and could not see the Pictures because the Poster deleted them after a few Months. That stinks. PhotoBucket is free so leaving them up doesn't cost anything. Dan

You can click on the "Collections" button on the tool bar to bring up your collections. Then right click on the collection that you don't want anymore and select DELETE. Or you can right click on each picture/sound/video in the collections in the center box area and delete them as you want. Also - when you have the Collections pane viewable on the left - you can right click on "collections" and select New Collection. Then you can rename that whatever you like. That helps me keep track of what I am working on. I use a new collection for each project. I do delete them afer a while to keep the clutter down. One thing to note - Even if you have "saved" your slideshow, you need to keep the pictures in the same space if you ever want to use that show again. If you have burnt the show to disk - it will be fine on the disk, you won't need to worry about it. But if you have just saved the show to your hard drive, and want to go back and burn that show again to something with it - if the pictures have been moved or deleted (not from the collections, but from the actual hard drive) - you will be missing those pictures from you Slide Show. Don't ever change the location of the pictures you are working with, while working on a show either. I moved some from my hard drive to my external hard drive once, without thinking how it would affect the slide show - that was a mess! It was fine when I moved them back to the original location until I was finished with my project. I think there might be some WMM tutorials on YouTube. I am on dialup - so I can't really find any to link you to right now.

I have the same problem when using "Netscape" as my browser, when using Explorer I do not have this problem.

It is mind-boggling how many people surf the net for information, truly. And it seems unbelievable to us because we are reading threads with a number of recognizable (to us) names, like Annz and Parma and Flyleft and Moonshadow, Kswl and Amity.......etc. So, in our limited view, there are maybe a few dozen people that click on Favorite Yellows or Should I buy this Karastan Rug? But, for every person that posts, (you KNOW this is true since you do it all the time yourself) there are many, many, many, readers. Think of how many threads you read or links you access or stores you pop into due to a link at Garden Web..........but only read, do not comment. Well, multiply that by at least 100. And if you posted a photo in a thread, then, those 100 people who didn't comment, have all looked at your photo, thus creating a 'hit' on your picture site. I posted a recent shot on the "Does Anyone Want to Do a Photo Thread Again" thread on the Discussions side here. I had just uploaded the photo to a Picturetrail site I use. Today, Picturetrail sent me one of those notification emails to tell me that that photo already had like 300 views. Staggering, huh? I would have told my DD to wait till I could strike a nice modelesque pose had I known that it would end up on a little nonsense thread here. Anyway...........Does that mean everyone wanted to see ME? Well, no. (Tear in my left eye right now---catch in my voice.) It just means that anyone that scrolls down through that thread will see that photo. Thus, the hit. Now, for making your photos private. If you have young children and want them to stay off the Net, then, really, don't put them on the Net. Or make your private family shots private from the beginning. If you are posting photos of your bathroom paint job, or your kitchen cabinets or your new bedroom set, then, you probably want your album public for those pix. Otherwise, who's going to look at them? Your friends aren't caring about your living room redo on the net. They can go over to your house to see. Those photos are for us decorating crazies who need to see what shade of beige really works with maple cabinets, or how to accessorize a table in the living room just right. And while you may feel like you know Red or RenoFan or Organic and be happy to have them come see your new Marmoleum floor, you may feel less happy that 765 Anonymous People from all parts of the Planet also liked your Tyler Taupe bathroom and your new Antique white kitchen cabinets. But if you are careful with your pictures and try not to include anything truly private or potentially embarrassing, it ought not to be a big problem. Red
