Something has been going on at Photobucket in the past week or so. There's a new log on screen and I had to redo some of the specifics on my account. Sometimes I can cut and paste out of it, other times I can't.
Contact Photobucket; they probably have a backup of their files and can restore your photos from backup.
I keep all of my photos on my home computer. I use Photobucket only for copies.

why wouldn't you have copies on a disc? First rule of computer file storage!!!!! Plus, why rely on a site like that to keep files, doesn't your internet carrier provide an FTP site for it's customers?
Not to be cruel, no one to blame but yourself for losing the pics.............

I have all my originals saved on my computer except for the ones that I modified so show something specific and even those can be redone easily. I would imagine Photobucket will have backups of the files you had with them.

The number one rule with anything to do with a computer is:
back up...back up...back up
It`s not if it will crash, it`s when...
This also goes for websites...you don`t know if some brilliant MTI grad has had their morning coffee yet... pissed off employee gets lay off notice... or the cheque for the bill, this month, is in the mail.
Not dumping on you Sly Vette, just a warning for all...try to protect yourself.
I hope you will be able to retrieve your pics

Love the Vette

No one has ever mentioned anything about backing up and with all the recommendations photobucket has gotten on this site,I felt safe.
Oh well,live and learn.
And photobucket states on there site that if photos are deleted,they cannot be retrieved.
Thanks
