IF you don't want pics to vanish then don't move your photos after posting any on Nomad... Just leave the old ones alone and reload again in any new
place you you want to store the pics.
Photos are links... and when you move the photo, you get a new link, and the old one is dead.

My posts are for all Nomads, I was just offering a solution for what you experienced Roger.
I know you try hard to show great pics and you do great at it... some of the best trip reports ever. Sorry you had to do so much twice!
There are warnings on Photobucket that moving a photo to a different album will end it on the old location.

Thanks for the suggestion, Igor. I've mastered Photobucket plus ImageShack quite well nowadays, but can and will certainly give Flickr.com a good
try.

Several threads about that option....it's as obnoxious as the Photobucket popups....
When Photobucket went into their pay for service mode, it became a very difficult and unwieldy site. I've played with a few other sites with great
success. Currently I use Flickr and the Google site which works with my Android phone. It's a little bit too convenient, kinda like Photobucket used
to be. When I take photos with my phone it automatically uploads them. I have locked it down so that it won't be accessible to the 'public' but I
think nothing digitized on the interwebs is truly safe.
As Ged mentioned, if I was going to pay for a service, it would be SmugMug. I know there's a higher level of security and the money goes to a good
purpose.
I still have some of my photos on the bucket site but haven't added new material and I'm sure I won't......YMMV of course.....

well, I recently had so many pop ups on Nomads that I thought t he site was the problem. I could not read posts. I could not post anything-made me
crazy.
so, there is a kid in town who figured out the problem and boy am I happy.
total cost? dare I tell? 100 pesos. I tell you, our kids are gonna run the world via computer.

Blanca, that local boy sounds like another Bill Gates. Keep track of him as his rates increase!

Following the suggestions of several nomads I downloaded MalwareBytes and ran it on my computer. It found 76 infected objects which were quaranteend
and removed. I then restarted the computer and brought up firefox and the ads were still there.
I noticed a GoSave ad always appearing on all bajanomad pages below the standard ads that we've grown accustomed to. I then went to Add/Remove
programs and found it there under ggsav and removed. I then examined all of the programs on my machine and found 4 more adware virus programs. These
were deleted as well.
Then I reset firefox and so far so good.
Oh, I reran Malwarebytes several times thinking it would pick up these viruses on repeated scans but they always came up clean.
So my guess is that I didn't clean the system completely because the registry data for these pgms are still there but hopefully nothing can ran
without the software that was removed.
The improvement in browser performance is amazing. Before these modifications you could see adware websites being continuously accessed whenever you
did anything. So all my clicks on the computer had to wait for the transfer of unwanted data from all of these sites. Computer usage suffered from a
network bottleneck.
Despite all of this there is still an amazing number of adds on photobucket that are 'legitimate' (intended).
So back to the original question - there are a lot more ads in photobucket than before and if you have malware it gets worse.

Un-freaking-believable! I just installed Adblock Plus and it is amazing! Popups are gone! Go to Adblock website and click on the browser version
you are using (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, etc) Download takes less than 10 seconds. Although the program is free, I am sending the
developer (Vladimir) some money to encourage him to stay a step ahead of the (b)ad guys.
Now how do I get Vladimir to develop a program to block all the telemarketing calls I am getting on my landline (the (b)ad guys are ignoring the "Do
Not Call" list).

One last tip to get rid of the advertising is to go to your browser options and disable Java. When a web site comes along that has a video you want to
watch, you can enable it for just that session or for just that website. All the browsers will occasionally ask if you want to continue to block Java
but it's not nearly as bad as the advertising and popups.
Edit: Disable Flash also....those ads can not run without the programing.
Another tip is to run AntiMalwareBytes several times without any other programs running. If you've been hit hard by those types of programs, it will
take a few runs to clean your computer. Anything you recognize and remove yourself you get bonus points......
