Thanks!!! All of you!! I fixed it. That's why I keep coming back to this site! Owbist I did what you said and I can again open my photos! Thanks again! I'm sure I'll be back when another problem comes along I can't solve without this site!

I agree with Joan. I like number two the best. A little to much red in the third photo. You can see it in the rock face. Played a little with brightness and contrast. Eric

They are just there for your convenience. They're not really "saved" on your page...they are really in your friends' albums where they store them. When you click on one of the pictures, you'll notice that you are taken directly to your friends' albums. You don't have to click on that link at all if you don't want to.

I got an email back today. "HI there, Photos can be uploaded directly to Houzz, so while you may include links to photo bucket or other photo sites in your posts and comments, the photos can not be embedded directly. Original posts must be edited within an hour. Comments on posts can be edited up to one week later. The reason these limits are in place is to insure consistency in the discussion that follows and to allow for minimal disruption to the other users participating in the conversation. If posts are editable forever, discussions can lose their coherency as people come back and remove their content." I also saw on the Kitchen forum today someone mentioned a post she flagged as spam other people could still see and were commenting on. I'm interested to know how the flagging works too. - Since I flagged two of my own posts. I did want to correct that the photos from Photobucket that weren't coming down...when I went back in last night to try some tests here I realized I didn't delete all of my pics which was why they were still showing the other day. My bad. I apologize for going on about that when it was my fault.
