ijits, and rude at that

ahem, check it...

Dear dkb1116@peoplepc.com,

It has been brought to our attention that you are incorrectly linking content from your Photobucket account around the Web. We would kindly request that you please begin making the appropriate changes to your links as quickly as possible as to avoid any future disruptions to your service. You are incorrectly linking to the Photobucket servers instead of the 'i' for some (or all) of your links off-site.

You will need to go in and manually change all of your links to reflect the 'i' instead of the Photobucket servers. Please see the examples below.

Incorrectly linked files look like this:
http://photobucket.com/albums/aa123/username/filename.jpg

An example of a correctly linked file should look like this (notice the 'i'):
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/aa123/username/filename.jpg

Note: You should copy the Direct Link code from your Photobucket album in order to resolve the issue.

On March 24th, 2008 at 12pm ET, Photobucket will begin disabling all incorrect links. Please begin correcting your links as quickly as possible as to avoid any disruptions to your service. Even if your links are disabled after the March 24th deadline, as soon as you fix them, your files will display as intended again. Please feel free to contact us at mislinking@photobucket.com if you have any questions or concerns. Your promptness and assistance with this matter is greatly appreciated!

Sincerely,

Your Photobucket Support Team

below is my response, which actually appears above the above (ya know what i mean, wink):

i have only ever used the direct link option.  so if you have an example in which i have done what you've so sternly but incorrectly scolded me; please do let me know of that page.  since the only links i've posted are in my journal (http://journals.aol.com/dkb11161970/DebrasDose/), and i have always used the direct link option, i have no doubt that you sent the below to me erroneously.  but!  you are forgiven, try to have a better day tomorrow
