For those of you who have photos on Photobucket linked to your threads here... And are thinking that you don't need to download them all because you have them stored on your computer..... Think again!

The photo you upload to Photobucket that you then link to a thread here has its file name changed by Photobucket in the direct link with an extension added to the filename.

For example a photo I upload with the filename "diff-3.jpg" then gets changed by Photobucket to "diff-3_zpsrtbtdeie.jpg". This happens to all photos you have uploaded and have linked to.

What this means, is that if you were to then upload all the original files from your computer you had on Photobucket linked to threads here, to a space that RussellW and his team may provide on the AFF servers, and a program then links the file names to the Photobucket file names in the threads ... They won't match.... So won't work!

Try this for yourself... Look at the direct link name of your file you add to a post from Photobucket.
