Uploading pics...

[Irene3]

I am sure you have been bombarded with these kind of questions before JP but is it possible to upload pics directly from our computer without having to rely on Photobucket? If a pic is not up to photobucket standards, it gets deleted. Also, it would just be easier to not have to use photobucket, it is just too bothersome at times.

[jpcanes]

Use imageshack.
quick and easy. ;)

[luciay]

JP
I use photobucket but what i want to know is
I have pics in my album then i post them here
if i delete them in my album do they also get
deleted in the threads or not?
thanks Lucia :)

[Irene3]

I think if you delete them, they might get deleted as well on the threads. I don't know. I just know if you upload a pic and the website removes the pic from their site, it is no longer viewable where you posted it.:(

[luciay]

ok thanks!! :)

[MRS. DOUG]

Lucia, I can't think of any reason to delete your pix from Photobucket. I have something like 10 pages on there now, and it's easy to go back and just copy the code if I ever need them again. There's no charge for keeping them on there.

No I know, but when i write Leah i give her the website to show
her a photo and I didnt want her to go through all these photos
and not understand what their all for so maybe i will keep a seprate album i will have to look into that! thanks Anne for the advice!:biggrinking:

Totally agree, it would be so much easier to just upload the pictures from our computers to this site.

Correcto. When you upload a picture to an image website like Photobucket and delete the picture from there it won't show up on the threads. The link (that is given on Photobucket) tells the browser to look for that particular image. If the image is no longer available due to being deleted, moved or file name changed it'll show a red X.

For all of you coming to the KoQ Bash next year: I am going to bring my laptop and hold a "Picture Posting on the LRGF" class.
Class will begin at Vivian's at 10am and end at 10:05am. :)

[HollyAnn]

Do we get a diploma, a ceremony & a party when we graduate? lol!

[Irene3]

:rofl:

[ashiecupcakes]

And who is going to be the keynote speaker when we graduate? Can we cheer and yell for those getting their certificates?

[Kristin]

Will there be a possibility to get a certificate even if i am not able to come ?

[Irene3]

Will there be honor awards given? I was one for always striving to achieve something in school.;)

BTW, it is not about the education of loading up pics. It is the pure laziness on my part to have to go to photobucket, sign in, pick my folder, go through the pics and then copy and paste the code. I have several folders and I can't remember sometimes where I have a certain pic. If I see a thread and I think of a great pic, I have to look for it on the net, put it in MY PICTURES, then go to photoshop and upload that pic to a folder...Oy vey. I love the ease of just going to MY PICTURES in my computer and uploading. I think Leah would agree with me. A shorter way is best.:D

Oy vey, that's all you have to do at imageshack.
Then copy the link and paste it in your reply.
Don't give me a bunch of jibber jabber about it being too difficult, either. :laughing out loud:

If you can stand a bit more jibber jabber, what the heck is the difference between going to imageshake and photobucket??? Like Irene, I'm lazy, and just want to upload pix from my PC. Shorter is sometimes better. Listen - will ya!!! :angry: :dontgetit: :freakingout:

Oh yeah, if you're giving out awards, I definitely want one, too. :laughing out loud:

[Irene3]

You guys kill me.:rofl:

Upload pics from my PC...PC...PC...less steps, less jibber jabber.:D

Mrs. Doug award for MOST LIKELY TO MAKE YOU :rofl:

Irene, I'm fearful that after one day back on the forum, and a post or two from yours truly, J.P. will once again be posting this message:

I want to let you all know that my internet time is going to be a bit sporadic
for awhile. :rofl:

You really wanna know the difference between Imageshack and Photobucket? Are you ready? One is called Imageshack and the other is called Photobucket. Oh, and I just realized that you misspelled "imageshack". But no worries I'll just take that you were pissed because JP wouldn't allow you to upload your pics directly from your PC to the forum. :laughing out loud:

Differences:

1. With photobucket you have to join to upload pics, with imageshack you don't.

2. At imageshack they will resize for you.

3. You can post thumbnails using imageshack. I don't think you can with photobucket.

Correct me if i'm wrong.

Of course I was NOT pissed at J.P. That would never happen! :eek:

Me too its much easier and less time consuming. :D

:D ;) Too bad this wasn't a poll.

I realize it has to do with the bandwith JP, I am not being a stickler here. Just having fun with ya. How does bandwith affect the site? I have heard about this but never really understood.:confused:

Read: Bandwidth in web hosting (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bandwidth_(computing))

If the total amount of data downloaded from the website in a particular month reaches this limit, the hosting company may shut off further public access to the site.

Now, you wouldn't want that to happen, would you?

Everytime someone looks at a pic or pics you are using up bandwidth.
Same with text, but of course, that is very minimal.
Fortunately, we have never exceeded the monthly limit.
This is why it is hoped that you don't use the pics someone already posted when using the Quote button, unless you feel you need to.
Once in awhile is fine. ;)

Also, this is why thumbnails are so helpful for the big pics.

Yes, Photobucket has the option of resizing images and I do belive they have an option to make your pictures into thumbnails.

You may also want to add that with increased bandwidth means more money out of pocket.

You'll have to show me where that option is 'cause I don't see it.

*testing this out

(JP, I was testing it out...this is what the image will look like)

[ashiecupcakes]

You'll have to show me where that option is 'cause I don't see it.

JP, here's what you have to do to make your Photobucket images into thumbnails:

(1) You'll upload the image into Photobucket (of course you know that)
(2) Click the check box that names your image (will be directly below your image (ie. jpandleah.jpg)
(3) Scroll down a bit and click the button 'Generate HTML and IMG Code' (it will take you to a new page)
(4) You'll copy and paste the code from 'IMG Clickable thumbnails for message boards' into the forum
(5) Voila! You've just made a thumbnail...if you have any trouble just shoot me a PM.

ETA: I think I should be teaching the class for uploading pics next year. :rofl:

[Irene3]

Thank you for all this wonderful info JP. I never knew all that. I am now going to be careful about quoting a post with pictures, WOW! who knew.:eek: I certainly would not want to add to the bandwith unless it was absolutely necessary. Thank you Ashie for the above info, I couldn't find that option myself. Maybe this may make it easier for me to want to upload pics.


Ok, are we going to have a quiz on this extensive lesson because baby, I am ready!!!!!:D

To be completely honest I had no idea that the feature even existed on Photobuket. Glad it was able to help you out.

I usually do imageshack most of the time, but maybe some others will use this method.

BTW, you can teach all the classes you want. ;)

Actually I never used imageshack before. But hopefully, it'll ease up the questions for ya.

*waving her hand frantically* Will we have an exam on this new found lesson?;)

[luciay]

I figured out how to size in photobucket too its not that hard
but thanks everyone for the info so Jp what your saying when we quote and reply dont use the pic unless necessary if that helps us out no promblem I will remember that thanks!:)

The time appears to be different when you're logged on than when you're logged off? Is it just me?? It seems like the time has been off since we changed the clocks last week.

Ok here to bug again with another question. I know, you are rolling your eyes at me but I hesitated to ask and finally decided to...Why is it when you upload a pic from MY PICTURES / directly from your computer, the pic doesn't show, it only comes up as a link that you have to click on to see?:confused:

That is my rule of thumb too, to say "I don't know" or for others to tell me that. Don't try and tell me some gibberish, just be honest and say "I don't know." Thanx JP.;)
