picture upload preferences - JB3 - 05-23-2011
what makes better sense for picture uploading?
Is it better to upload directly to the forum, or to link through photobucket or such? I know both work, but I had read in another forum that a direct upload is preferred for keeping the pics long term vs a potentially breakable link from an image site.
Any thoughts?

I used to use flickr but then I couldn't figure out the password or the email address I had used for it like a million times.
Now I use photobucket and they suck. Take forever to upload, login etc.
Seems like a page is more likely to load consistently and with longevity if all the stuff you're loading comes from the same server yeah?
But, I guess you can save this server some space by using those external links.

I can give you a FTP account and let you upload images to /images/benz/dropnosky, that way even if the board is hosed we still have the images.

I run my own photo hosting on my personal site, it's worked good for me so far.

Well look at Mr. Fancy Pants!
I have something like 44.12mb worth of attachments uploaded here. and a couple on photobucket to get around the automatic re-size...

I hate it when I do a search on a forum and look at past posts with good information, only to see all the pics with broken links or a photobucket type blank filler pic. That is why I almost aways upload pictures on to that forum so it will be there for years as long as the forum is in operation.

Interested. Don't feel like paying for flickr pro, and photobucket sucks balls.

Just had this exact same experience, I tried 5 times.
RE: picture upload preferences - winmutt - 06-28-2011
Fixed.
For what it is worth I have a weeks vaca coming up when the new baby pops out and I plan on spending some time on the site cleaning up the threads that need it.

whats a good free download picture manager program?
I was using Microsoft Office Picture Manager which was perfectly adequate for me, but I lost it along with all of microsoft office when my computer detonated recently.
Lately I have been trying out photobucket, but it seems pretty top heavy to me, and pictures resized and posted do not always seem to properly resize or rotate properly, which is a PITA.
All I really need is to resize and occasionally rotate the pictures reliably on my desktop. Any suggestions?

Open Office is a great free replacement of your MS Office but unfortunately it doesn't come with a photo editor. Here are some good free photo editor programs.
Gimp
GimpShop
XnView

great, thanks!

Paint.net is a pretty good free photo editor too.
