Title: Posting Photos to the Forum
Post by: Mhayes on October 27, 2016, 03:37:50 PM
Hi Everyone,

I would like to get your thoughts on what photo storage place you like for posting to the Forum. I recently read Shadow's comments about how much problem she was having using Photobucket. Unfortunately she is not the only one. I thought it was me and it is not unusual to spend an hour trying to post here from Photobucket. I thought my problem was having WiFi, but other places load fast, so I did a search online to see if others were having the same problem. Here is a recent thread: http://www.blowoutcards.com/forums/baseball/965660-why-photobucket-so-slow.html  I also wonder if you pay the .99 cents a month to have no ads would speed things up. I hate to complain, because Photobucket is free, but right now I don't have the extra time needed to use it.

Your thoughts and recommendations.

Thanks,

Margie

I haven't had problems with photobucket being slow. I have used Flickr too with good results.

I couldn't get into FB tonight either. I don't mind using Flickr for the final views but I do dislike posting all the changes in it.

I have added a new modification.
In Quick reply and normal reply you will see a blue P which you can use to upload images through Postimage. By clicking it a pop up box will appear where you select your photos and choose upload.

Once it is complete the box will disappear and automatically add your image in thumbnail form to your post. You can choose more than one image and no login is required.
