"Photobucket"

[Nomadic Pirate]

I'm glad I stuck with Photobucket through the far less then stellar period 

It was pretty bad for several months,...real bad 
 but I'm a patient person and like to give chances,......it payed of, Photobucket upgrade the site, it works great and I still have all my pictures from well over a dozen years ago in one site,

Not jumping ship at the first signs of trouble at times pays of

Nice I dumped PB at least 10 years ago wasn't for the cost it was because of the limited bandwidth allowance.  I have been using flicker and not happy when it was sold and had to pay to keep all of my pics backed up.

Pic hosting has always had ups and downs, in turn I've always viewed them as a temporary space to share pics that can go away at any time....

Nice to hear PB is getting their act together, becoming more user friendly again.

I dont use any type of cloud service. Read the legals with some when you pass all content becomes theirs to do with thwy aee fit.


I have an external drive and back up both our computers on or near the 1st of every month.  Then it goes back in the safety deposit box.

How do you pictures here then ?

Straight off my hardrive after resizing them.

Don't you use the attachment option?

[Nomadic Pirate]

I really don't know what you are talking about quite dumb with computers here

If I can post straight off my SIM card like I do on Facebook I would/could post way more pictures and videos

I resize and use the attachment option when using my phone. I also have a nice little Lumix camera that takes great pics in the correct size for posting here. Just plug it into usb and post them from there or move them to my harddrive. You can buy 32gb micro sd cards for $10. I back up pics on them and store them in a labelled envelope.

[Nomadic Pirate]

How do you post directly from a SIM card ? ...I don't really see the option.

[avator]

Sorry Manny... I'm no help there. I've never posted from my cell. I plug it into the PC then copy and resize the pics.

I don't even have a Phone ...my pictures are taken with a camera, then I take the SIM card out, put it in the computer, with Facebook I can post directly photos and videos from there,

Otherwise I transfer to Facebook and then post here from there

Hit the reply button.
When the reply box opens up scroll down till you get to:

+ Attachments and other options

Click on the "+"

When it "opens" up look lower and you should see "Attach:" with a button 'Browse" below it. Click on "Browse" button

When the window opens up find the location where the pic is saved that you want to attach. Then click on the file and click the "Open" button
The file will then show as an attachment. Just make sure it's not over the max size

[larspawn]

And if you have a Mac just open pic and do an "export" it lets you adjust the size there on the fly. Then you can post that pic instead of original.  I've even opened the pic again and downsized again if it won't get small enough the first save.

[Nomadic Pirate]

Video posting is a bit different. You'll want to use a hosting sight for that.
