Thread: Easier way to post pictures from your computer.

I will be dipped in luke warm gook! It worked. The process was nothing like anything described in this thread. I do not remember the details but it involved the "attachments" icon and selection of the "basic loader."

Now to see if I can duplicate it.

1. Go to advanced editor
2. Select "attachments" icon looks like a paper clip
3. Click "manage attachments"
4. Ahhhh Bullpucky! Sometimes the cursed controls work and sometimes they don't.

This would be a wonderful feature it if worked, but it don't. So, back to loading the pics on my web page and linking to them in the forums.

Testing.... SWEET

this was a test only a test!

"goodbye Photobucket"

Well, not so fast there, bubba :p

While this feature does allow you to quickly pull & post pics straight off your computer files, without the necessity of opening up Photobucket & going thru the copy/paste proceedure .... WHAT happens if you should crash your computer, get corrupted files, and/or lose access to the files that contain those pictures

Having Photobucket as your "hosting" site, you don't LOSE those pics !! It is a hosting site, which is basically a "storage" facility, outside of your computer. It also has a sizing option, built in, where you can resize your pics as you upload them ... so no need for any resizing programs.

This new feature IS nice ... and for those that can/want to use it, it is quick & easy. But, think about keeping Photobucket (or whatever hosting site you use) as free insurance, that your pics are safely stored away in the event of a catastrophic crash of your hard drive or file corruption by virus invasion.

... cp

Doesn't this new system upload the pics?
