ATTN. Photo-bucket users!

[*~Mrs. Cooper ~*]

If any of you use Photo-bucket, there's a new and improved way of uploading which is easy and less time-consuming!

As you may have already seen, there is an "upload image" bar under your smilies...

This is hosted by image-shack and works just as well if not better than photo-bucket.

Now, don't get me wrong, I love photo-bucket, but I've also exceeded the limit usage by 2,000 (I have more than one account and I'm prone to deletion any day).

So what I've found is that this little button "browse" searches for images on your computer so you can upload quicker and easier without having to log in every time. After you've found the image you want, click twice and then "host it"; this will upload the photo directly from this website. Please click on the 2nd photo (thumbnail). This will size down the image to a much smaller width and height so the page can load faster. It will cut down on loading time by at least a few seconds.

So pallies, if you could, please use this image uploader. After doing a poll I've found that the reason why the board is slower is because of the massive amounts of photos this site uses, it takes forever to get the images up and running; and even though the page is fast now, it will begin to lag in the future (because it's done so so many times in the past).

Thanks to all for your Cooperation! ( )

LOL, aww, "cooperation"!! so cute! LOL, and I'll try and figure out what your saying, it might take up to a year to fully get it considering Im computerly challenged, and all! j/p

[*~Mrs. Cooper ~*]

All you have to do is use the "browse" button under your smiles, find the photo you want and click "upload". Use the second button "thumbnail" that will appear in another window and BOOM!
That's it!

[Mrs. Lewis]

cool! i gotta try it! lol

[coopfan]

You mean there is a limit on how many photos you can post on there

[*~Mrs. Cooper ~*]

Yep, 1000 per bucket.

Unless you have a paid account, then you can have a million and one pictures, and your bandwidth is increased and such. It's only 25 dollars a year, and I love my paid account!

[Miss Retro]

wow I wouldn't pay for that lol you can always get more accounts with different email addresses. Yahoo lets you make free email address and so does hotmail.com

[Ajax]

Yeah, I tried that once with a site called photovillage, until they found out that I was making more email addresses and uploading photos under different email addresses and they deleted all of my pictures....So, I just stick with my paid account, that way I don't lose any of my pictures.

[Miss Retro]

wow how did they find out? oh maybe by the ip address

[Ajax]

Yeah. They give you like a really short amount of time to take all of your pictures down, but we still didn't get them all down in time, and then they erase all of your accounts and your IP address is banned from signing up for an account with them.

I use photobucket, theres only about 5 pixs on there though, plus all the pics are downloaded onto a disk now, so I have nothin' to worry bout' really.

[Ajax]

Well, they won't take it away if you don't have more than one account, but I've never had them have problems where all of my pictures are deleted, thankfully!

[funnydrunkygal]

That's lucky, Megg!

Hello everybody so nice to meet you;)

[ravynnerune]

A great way to upload photos to photo bucket is to download 'Flock'. It comes with a photo uploader and you can upload literally hundreds of photos to the internet at once! It's amazing! ~<3

[*~Mrs. Cooper ~*]

I am so glad you mentioned that, Ravyn!
Flock is definately an amazing tool to use for uploading photos, as well as just daily internet surfing.
