Photobucket ?

If you are using IE or Microsoft Edge you will probably have problems. Chrome works for me.

The reason to use it is there are many sites that will not allow you to post pictures directly from you computer, They do not want to waste their storage memory storing you pictures. By forcing you to use PB they only have to store the URL.

I use PB because for years the only way to put pics on a site was to us a photo sharing platform. I couldn't do it directly from my 'puter. I keep nothing in my PB account that I wouldn't want my mother to see.

It's not your Mother you have to worry about.

My point is that there is no 'X' rated stuff in my PB account nor on my 'puter.

I use Photobucket because I always have. Old habits die hard. It is bloated with adware and you get that dang popup page but it usually works okay after it loads. I try not to put anything up I'm afraid for someone to see but I like having the option to delete files or folders later if I want to.

One thing about uploading photos here is they don't allow you to edit or remove anything after a 24 hour period. If I decide later I don't want the photo up I can't take it down.

I did not know you could get a photo uploaded here and make it actual size instead of the thumbnail. Will have to try that sometime. It is quicker and easier than uploading to PB and then linking to it.

As has already been said you should resize your pictures before uploading. This creates a lot of extra stuff on your hard drive but it's the best thing to do. I name most all my photos folders by date and inside the folders I want to upload pictures from I create a resized folder. I use irfanview for that and it works pretty good. I can do single or batch file resizing and usually set my long side to 1024 pixels and lat the program decide the other side when kept in original proportion. If you set the photo to 1024 on the long side and compress it to 95% you retain most if the quality and the file size will be manageable for people to download or view.

There's none in mine either. Not sure where you got the idea that anyone posting on here had **** on their Photobucket account?

I have Chrome on my HP, but lately when I try to go on PB, this keeps popping up on top of the page for a split sec.>>>>a plugin shockwave flash isn't responding, I tried to re-install that, but no help. But most of my pics. are on my Gmail, so there not lock up where I cant see them. I'll give flickr a try, see what happens there. Maybe photobucket put me on their ignore list because I wouldn't/wont vote for Hillary dillary............

I'll try to remember those instructions, think I got it I'm the kind of guy who has to read something 15 times then do it 15 times. --------------------------

Here are the instructions, with screenshots: http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/photos/107314-photo-posting-how-3.html?highlight=#post3967120

PM me with any questions or concerns.

You can take a picture down, just not edit it.
Go to http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/profile.php?do=editattachments and it will let you remove them. Just be aware that it will may leave your posts looking odd with the pictures missing.

Good stuff. Did not know that. But, so far I've not had the need to remove a pic later.
