Better Picture Hosting Site?
I have just lost my 3rd account on Panoramia where I have been uploading my photos to post here. Don't know what happens but it just disappears with all of my pictures that will no longer show in any of my posts. Where are any of you uploading your pictures to put in your posts?

Re: Better Picture Hosting Site?
photobucket has worked fine for me for years. I have had to adapt to a few changes they made but it works.

Re: Better Picture Hosting Site?
Why do people go to an outside site? Is this to enable higher resolution? I always just "Go Advanced" and take the pictures off of my camera cars. What am I missing?

Uploading the pictures is much easier but just posts a thumbnail that you have to click twice on to enlarge it then click back to get out of it. And that has a size limit of 800 pixels for a JPG image. "Imbedding" the image by using the Insert Image icon shows the picture full size without any clicking and you can make it as big as you want although anything bigger that 700 pixels wide is wider than this page. Also, if you want to do a slide show with narration as I did for my Death Valley trip here: https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showth...t=62705&page=2 you don't have the control of arranging the pictures and text if you just upload the pictures.

Re: Better Picture Hosting Site?
I use picturetrail.com, it's free and works great and easily gives IRL for the pictures, however I use google "picasa" to resize all my photo's for easy posting before I bring them over into picturetrail, the reason for that is I have never found an easier free program that will let you resize and do it proportionally so the photo looks as good as it does when it was taken.

Re: Better Picture Hosting Site?
I just upload from my computer to here. Don't use any host. I use windows picture editor that comes with windows to crop or resize pics.

I use Scotch Tape. Not free, but affordable.

Re: Better Picture Hosting Site?
Alan,
Doesn't scotch tape get stuck in the wheels of your modem?

TomO, Yes, you are correct, but a dab of MMO can work miracles!

Re: Better Picture Hosting Site?
Wow - scotch tape, without the tape maybe? I'll have to try that....
I use photobucket as well, have for years and have never lost a picture. Lots of options too, public, private, share thru facebook... And they have a free option or you can do premium that's something like $25 year for unlimited uploads and some other features. Lots of options to upload pics, it's personal preferance - and a matter of finding them. |

I take my photos in very high resolution and this is what they look like when I post on the internet thru Photobucket. The nice thing about using a photo hosting site is you just upload the photo once to it then you can use that URL to any website at any time. You don't have to load it to each site everytime you want to post that photo. I can't tell you how many times I've posted the following photo online yet I only uploaded it once to Photobucket.

Re: Better Picture Hosting Site?
I save digital photos on my computer and use the "go advanced" function to download them. You can also access anything else you have saved on the computer.
