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?

what makes better sense for picture uploading?

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 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.

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.

05-26-2011, 09:41 AM #6I 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.

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.
