Is there an easy way I can save all my photos? As I'd never find the ones an know what treads and what order
Yes - Go to your thread, right click on the photo "save as" and then save it on your local PC. Upload the photo to a photo hosting site (Photobucket or skydrive etc) and then we can enable editing of the posts so you can update the individual posts.
We won't proceed with the "purge" until members have had a chance to update their threads - so we may enable "editing" of the threads to update links. The older the threads, the more chance the attachment(s) will be removed - so start backwards and let me know if you need a hand.
