--may be one you sent as well--the difference is that I was double-clicking the image and using the share function from that preview screen, when apparently I am supposed to do the sharing from the thumbnail view. Also, instead of the [IMG] link, which usually works but with them and DU you get the actual link info printed out as well, I used the Direct Link code, which removes the link info. I actually had to write that down on a post-it so I wouldn't forget, since it is different from the way they used to have it, and hardly intuitive. I want to see the size and quality of the image before I share, rather than sharing from a little thumbnail...

My advice to anyone shopping for image hosting, use Imgur or some other and not Photobucket. Used to be great, though.
