Title: Photo solution...
Post by: Duc L'Smart on May 13, 2008, 08:05:57 AM
OK, I know the new guys don't want to be a photo server, & I respect that  8)
However, I need a simple to post up some digital hotness...
So, what are your recommendations?
There's flickr, photobucket, tinypic. What else?
Didn't look like tinypic allowed for your own page. couldn't tell.
What about copyright issues?
Which one's easier, etc??
Lemme know so we can get this party started ;D

Thanks B- flickr looks nice. Clean & well organized.
How easy to upload pics, & how easy is it to link to a pic from here?
Title: Re: Photo solution...
Post by: bryant8 on May 13, 2008, 08:31:59 AM
It's pretty much drag and drop using one of their utilities or the web-based uploader.  On an average high speed connection it'll make quick work of uploads.

As far as uploading, I just click the picture I want and then copy/past the URL location under it's properties.  On Safari I think it's copy picture location.  Then link using the html code or button

I use www.smugmug.com

Tons of features but it's a subscription based site. They do have a pro level subscription that allows you to set your own price for prints. Not as intuitive and simple as the free sites, but you have a lot more control over the look and layout to where you can create your own graphics around their layout.

+1 love using Flickr--I use with with my MAC, no issues. It also has a cool editing feature I just found last week. Some ofe those features are "premium," though.

try just using photobucket or any other free site, I have a few gigabytes of freespace and just buy a domain name for 8 bucks... save you XX/month... or use zonedit, all great stuff for servers w/o spending pointless money on storage.

I would do that if hosting pictures was the only thing I was using it for.  I use it for more than that, hence a hosting service is what I need.

i have to go with +1 for flickr... you can do a decent amount with the free level, but i pay the $19 yearly fee for the unlimited "pro" account... it's got a load of features (i like the "notes" feature... see here:  http://www.flickr.com/photos/franzen/2476022812/)  and it's very easy to use.

also, you might want to check out google's "picasa".  it is a decent tool as well...it's very integrated with the pictures you have on your computer...and lets you download entire albums from friends.

weird...i didn't see your pic the first couple times i tried to view this thread....then after putting a link from my flickr your pic displayed...  maybe they're toying with forum settings in the admin side of things?

just follow this syntax and you should be fine though:

I use Picasa.

To post a Picase pic here:

Click on the photo you want.
Click "Link to this photo".
Select and copy all the text after the img src=" up to the end of .jpg. It's easiest to go to the end of the link and select forward.
Click on the photo icon here and paste the text you copied from Picasa between the img tags.
