Changing Your Album Settings

Overview: The following tutorial is a step by step guide on how to change the 'Album Settings' in your Photobucket account.

Requirements: You must be a Photobucket account holder.

1. Log into your Photobucket account at http://www.photobucket.com
   
2. Select the "account options" link from the top right corner of the page.
   
3. Scroll down to the "Album Settings" section of your account options and click on the "edit my album settings" link to change the information in this category.
   
4. From here, you have the following options:

   Public or Private account settings - Change your account to Private if you do not wish to have your images viewable via Photobucket "Search".

   Set a Friends Password - If your account is set to Private, creating a "Friends Password" will allow read-only access to anyone you wish to give this out to. The recipient of your Friends Password will not be able to upload or edit your content, just view it.

   Thumbnails per page - Change the amount of thumbnails that display per page in your album.

   Background Color - Change the color of your album background.

   Sort album by - Change the sort order of the content in your album.

   Images link back to album - If you do not want people to be able to view your Public album through images that are clicked on when embedded off site, leave this option unselected and anyone clicking on your images will go back to the Photobucket homepage. If you leave this option selected, anyone clicking on your embedded images in a Public account will be taken back into your album as normal.

   Display Codes - Toggle the HTML codes that display below your thumbnail image on or off.

5. Don't forget to click on the "Save" button to make sure your changes take effect!
