Gents,
As did many of you, I used Photobucket for hosting third party photos for quite a few years. But, they've changed their policies and, we are no longer able to use them for hosting photos unless you PAY THEM. Well, that's fine but, I'm not gonna pay them. So, I've been desperately trying to remove my photos from photobucket and place them back into a file on my computer. If, IF I ever can do that, I will find another site to host third party photos for linking on to forums.
But, Photobucket says in their site: "Yes, your photos are all safe". But, they won't let me extract them from their site to my computer. I have tried every which way to click on every tab, follow any and all instructions and more, but, the ads keep poping up and blocking what I'm trying to do. Once I finally get the ads gone, off the screen, It (their site) still won't let me do it.
The simply "cut or, copy and paste" thing simply won't work. I need help here. I'd really like to remove all the photos from there and put them back onto my computer for my discretion as to where they're further displayed. Have any of you worked with PHotobucket since they've changed their policies? Are or, were you able to extract your photos from their site?
If so, how EXACTLY, DID YOU DO IT? What clicks did you use? Where did you put them? I'm usually fairly computer literate and can figure most things out but, I'm at a loss here and so is the wife. Help!

Hey Gang
I certainly want to thank all of you for taking the time to help me on this thing. It, without a doubt, is very much appreciated. The wife and I are somewhat computer literate but, this Photobucket thing is really nothing but a pain in the A$$. As stated before, I've used it for quite a while and, while Photobucket really has not been a smooth running site, EVER, I was still able to use them for third party hosting. I do have most of the photos on there in some files, buried in my computer so, in worst case scenario, I walk away from it and I'll just go dig up all of them and use another host site.
But, I haven't given up yet. I have tried the bulk download but, nothing happens. I sit and sit and sit and, nothing. So, I'll try other methods. Thanks very much again.
