 * Thank you for your post.
 * Are you referring to creating a new slide and using a URL for the image?
 * When you do that, the plugin makes a remote connection to the image file, downloads
   it and copies it over to the Slideshow Gallery plugin’s image folder.
 * I assume Photobucket is actually blocking the request due to their security reasons
   or maybe even to protect from content being taken off their site.
