Why? 1) My "mc4bbs" userid is losing touch with the real world and 2) After five years of using Picasa without issue, I can only guess that my gallery became 'too' popular and some prude flagged a few of my photos for content (Eeeks! There are homosexuals in some of my photos!!) and got the mc4bbs Picasa account locked.
No worries --- I have ALL the photos and am putting them online currently -- it's just a mouse-click to replicate them back up to Picasa. If the account is removed again, I'll just host them on my own server -- which no one can censor...
My new URL (http://photos.chazhome.com/) will always point to where ever my photos might end up on the internet without me having to update URLs elsewhere...
I have since carefully filtered out any full-frontal nudity and penises from my new online album. Note: if you want to see "those" photos, they are available -- you just have to ask using the directions provided...
