I don't know if this is an issue or not, or if anyone cares.
If you use photobucket.com for hosting your coin images, you can set folder (albums) and images to public or private.
If a little lock appears next to the folder it is private and cannot be seen by the public.
In the past I've clicked on "sig lines" or links in posts taking me to digital albums with family vacation/home/car/graduation and coin photos all in the same folder.
You may not care, and that's fine. But for the ones who don't know, you may
be inviting others into your account to view images you didn't want public.
I'm just putting this out there; I use photobucket and I like the site, but I've locked down all folders or albums that I want private and the ones I want public.
Don't just assume that if you upload it on the site that it's private.

Yes. It just locks down people from being able to go into your album and click through all of your images willy-nilly.

If you copy and paste the image URL here from a private album, or link to a single image in a private album, then only that image can be viewed here.

How? I am under the impression that if your album is locked that someone would need the photobucket password to access it.

Photobuckets various search engines are NOT restricted to UNlocked albums.
