Trouble uploading photos

[guidofatherof5]

I didn't like doing it but I now have a Photobucket account. I'm just using it until the forum problem is fixed.
Then I'll have to maintain that account to keep the links to the forum active. That part I don't like.

Well then use.. oh nevermind. Nobody seems to take the advice seriously.

You don't even need an account with the one I use. your photo will still be there as long as it's hotlinked to a page that gets loaded by someone once a year or so. The first pics I uploaded, I did so without an account. They still appear where I posted them.

I just find it easier to sort the photo's with photobucket and that way I have them in one spot to post on any forum...

Let's just face it. There's some major advantages to using a photo hosting site. Just choose which one you use carefully or try them all and settle on the one that suits you. I have the advantage of already trying "them all" since about 1999. The one's that sucked back then, still suck, (photobucket, ehem) and pretty much for all the same old reasons. Some things never change.

I don't belong to very many forums.
Just this one. Thamfriends.com and Chelydra.org(Snapping turtle forum)
Photobucket will come in handy for posting snapping turtle photos since they don't have a place to store photos.

Well there ya go. A good reason to use one.(photo hosting site) Most any forum will accept hotlinked photo URL's placed between IMG codes. To make things easier it's best to make sure the hotlinked photo is an appropriate size, frame-wise that is. Doesn't work too well with huge frame sizes. I just use XP powertoys image resizer before uploading. It's free to windows users, from Microsoft.

I like storing my photos on my property only. Most photos I´d published in my thread here, were taken from my webspace.

Same principle.
