Hi folks,
usually I save most of these lovely drawings shown here on my drive, but recently I face a problem with some of them. Specificaly with those shown via photobucket and imgur. I just can't save them from this site but have to make a right click on the drawing, and choose show image. On imgur I have to do this once again before saving the drawing. Otherwise I only will find a weird 0 kb data on my drive (hope you understand what I mean).
Has anyone a similar problem? Does anone know what I can do to change this?

Had the same problem and I discovered that if you copy-paste the image in MS Paint (with right click) and then rename by "Save as" there is no ploblem see or open the image. You can also select format (usually Bitmap format is selected by default)

Yes, I've noticed this as well... Photobucket is especially bad (as usual). I haven't seen the same with Imgur but I believe it.

What I do is first try to just drag and drop the image onto my desktop or into whatever folder I'm using. If that doesn't work then usually a "save as" will do it. A lot of times Photobucket will corrupt the image when trying to save - I'm not sure if this is intentional or just the result of poor system architecture on their side (I suspect a combination of both...)

Hopefully once the new site is live we can eliminate these problems entirely. ;)

Thanks for the replies.
I already tried @odysseus1980 trick, which actually works (although not that much more practicale for me)
So I will try yours next @colo.

Nevertheless I'm looking forward to the new side.
