Hi stuball, did you sort out all those photos?
I have noticed over past few weeks that when I start new folders this %20 has appeared and it stopped me loading on to Glescapals, removing it was the answer, funny thing, when I loaded photos onto older albums in photobucket there was no %20 when copying
Heres me trying to be organised, separate folders and photobucket screws it up for me
So you recken the folder should be called poplinstplayfairstdemolition?, is that the way I should be doing it, no spaces.

Thanks for you help
Bye for now, norrie

Norrie.

Generally speaking, you should try and avoid spaces in filenames and folders,
particularly when it's online files. A way around it is to use the underscore _ in place
of spaces, as this wont be ignored. Also, bear in mind that if you go back and change
the filenames/folder names now it will break the links to any pictures you've uploaded
and you'll need to go back and edit them all.
