When you download your folders from PB, they are put into zipped files. I just finished making new folders on my computer and extracting the photos from each zipped file into their respective folders.

I haven't posted many photos on this forum, so I could easily re-link those posts with the photos from my new photo hosting site (Postimage.com), but it does not look like I can edit my posts to change the image link.....

At least I was able to get my Avatar back..... grin



How did you download them, I couldn't figure it out.




When you select an album on PB there will be a list of options on the right hand side listed under "Actions". One of those options is to "Download album". Select that and you will get a pop up screen to click on to select sections of pictures prove you are not a robot. After that it will allow you to download the album.

Depending on how large the album is, the download may take a while. I had them send me an email when the download was ready. It will send you a link to your album that allows you to download it to your computer. The file will be zipped and renamed with a random set of letters, so when you unzip the photos, you will have to "Extract" them into a new folder on your computer with the appropriate title.

For some reason, videos and GIF's are not included in the download, so you will have to save those to your computer individually.
