The Link Back Option changes the HTML and IMG link codes that your Photobucket account generates. If the option is unchecked, your shared photos do not link back to your Photobucket account when a guest clicks them.
The HTML code for any photo only links back to the photo itself on Photobucket.
The links do not give viewers the ability to browse your private album, regardless of your Link back to albums setting.
Important! After you change this option, the new settings are only applied to images linked after the change is saved. Any content linked with the previous setting must be re-linked for the new option to take effect. Also, regardless of whether "Link Back Option" is selected or not, IMG Code only displays an image. It does not contain any clickable code.
To change your Link Back Option setting:
- Click on your Profile Icon
- Click Settings
- Click Change Image and Album Settings
- Click the box next to the Link Back Option to check or Uncheck it
- Click Save Changes
