Title: Photobucket Shenanigans
Post by: Roanoke on January 29, 2012, 06:49:25 am
Is there a way to easily break photobucket links without permament deletion ? I had hoped making the file private and password protected would do it but pictures are still visible on forums 'n' so on ? It's my photobucket file but the photos have been used elsewhere. The guy using them needs a bit of a kicking and I'd like to be able to undo my little virtual "kidney dig" if needs be.

Save to your computer and deletion seems to be the best way.
Or, replace it with an offensive image :P.

i'm pretty sure just renaming the picture works.  or moving it to a sub-folder.  it used to anyway, but i haven't been back to that site but a couple times since the major re-design however long ago that was.

Yeah, renaming it should work just fine.

Question is, will restoring the name restore the links ?

One would assume, so long as its place in the subfolder structure remains the same.

are you sure it's not just cached?

Replace the image with goatse or something. Let the guy get dekker'd.

Not always effective apparently. if PB doesn't twig to it in the first week or so, apparently it can stay there for years.
