Arggh! Disappearing pics!

[dreamflower]

OK, apparently many of the first pics I had put up on LJ have vanished. I originally had this one Photobucket account that danae_b set up for me when I didn't know how to upload pics myself; that account seems to have expired. The missing pics include banners on my profile page, pics on many of my entries, and pics to communities.

(I have a different account now that I use, since I finally figured how to post the pics myself.)

So now all the pics that were on that account are *gone*! Am I going to have to redo them all? Try to remember which pics were which and then upload those to my other Photobucket account? I don't know if I can find all the old posts--is there a way to reactivate the old account?

*sigh*

Augh, how frustrating!!

Oh yikes, that sounds a mess! I use LJ for the most part to store my pics, so I'm not sure if photobucket would restore an expired account or not. I guess you could email their help desk? Might be worth a try.

I have no idea how that works. It makes me wonder if the photos I posted after Scotmoot on Photobucket are still there. I may have to go over and have a look. I have them saved to my computer but I still hate the thought that they are gone now. I have a Shutterfly account that I use now. I wish you the best of luck!

I know nothing, but I sure hope someone more knowledgeable can help you! :(

First thing to try is to see if you can sign into the old photobucket account.


If you can't do that, then I hope you have the pics saved somewhere besides photobucket, because you're going to have to put the pictures up somewhere and redo all the links. You may be able to use google to search your blog, but I'm not sure about that.

I didn't know photobucket accounts could expire. I use mine now and again but not that regularly. I hope you find everything.

*hugs*
