[Lowfer] Lowfer Captures

[Michael Sapp]

Doug: My 2 cents.....AdBlock seems to do a good job of quelling the ad 
garbage on photobucket as well as other sites....

My last photobucket post was a direct link. Sometimes I have to use the 
E-mail link with photobucket as at times
the Verizon e-mail server will think the direct links to photobucket are 
spam and it blocks the message.

I've also had that happen with URL links in Word docs, which is a pain when 
there are a dozen or more links
in a doc  you  have to delete them one at a time to find what the Verizon 
server believes to be spam....

It's a digital jungle out there.....
