I noticed something while looking at a siggie that only showed the URL, not the actual picture.


Those of you linking your signatures from your personal photobucket accounts may want to be more cautious. You may be here under a secret screen name, but if you link it from an account that has your usual screen name, it shows in the properties and URL. Someone could look up that name and find out your information. Also, if your photobucket pictures aren't private, they could pull it up and see all your family photos, friend pics, and any other random pictures you have in that account.


I don't want to make anyone paranoid, but I really think it's a security issue you might want to consider. Please be careful, ladies. D-days are not fun.

I was just amazed that with all the talk about googling screen names, no one noticed that either.

LOL BTrue - ;)


AllDoneNow - that is indeed a very good reminder - anyone that is still hiding needs to be sure they are taking the necessary precautions - D-day is absolutely no fun - and honestly it's pretty horrible for everyone involved.


Just another good tip all - be careful.


Hugs -

I can't get a picture to show up in my signature.
