  1. Trying to read through these tonight, and it looks like Photobucket is broken (saw it on Post 7 and 8, so far).

  2. Thanks for the alert. Photobucket changed to a new system (without warning!) and photos uploaded the day of the change were lost. I’ve fixed 7 and am headed to 8 now — if you see this anywhere else, please let me know.
