Scans From Places Like...

I have been scanning my larger file scans and then downloading them from photobucket.com to my posts. I thought once you copied the img code from there and placed it in your post, that there would be no problem with then deleting the file on photobucket, but it seems if you delete it, then it deletes it everywhere you placed it. It has been a learning process for this computer challenged individual.
The reason I wanted to delete some of the files from photobucket is because I have almost the limit there.

Quick html lesson....

Photos themselves are not included in the code that generates a page. The location (address) of the image is included in the code. When the page code executes, your browser goes to the address the code on the page tells it to go to, to get the image. If it's there, it retrieves it and displays it, if its not... you get the busted image symbol of your browser's choice.

Make sense now?

Thanks, Father Bobby! I know there have been a few other forum members that suddenly had their scans disappear with the "photobucket has removed this item" words left where the picture once was . At least we're not too old to learn....I think?!
