How to Link Photos from Photobucket

Thanks for that GC.
I wish you would have shown me that a couple years ago.  ;D

GC, the swap meet is [glow=red,2,300]Saturday Feb 11th.[/glow] not the 12th.


I'm getting all worked up about it!  can't wait!!!

Hmm.. tempting. 

Good POST GC, yup THIS question gets asked allot ...
... it's also asked allot on many of teh "other" forums out on the NET and regardless of a forums subject of discussion

Given the questions FAQ stat and so people can see it quick how about ya PIN at the TOP of the forum

Yeah much BETTER as I HAD only thought of "pinning" at the TOP of the forum it was in previously
Yup I agree in the FAQ is better for this question/answer ... w00t, WHAT a TEAM WE make {LOL}

[size=1.3em]P[/size]hotobucket or [size=1.3em]F[/size]lickr the [size=1.3em]T[/size]iny [size=1.3em]R[/size]eview ...
... [size=0.7em]two of the more popular photo sharing sites[/size] ...

I thought I needed more space for my Photo sharing, and 'thought' being the operative word here. Thinking I needed more space for my pictures I signed up for a FREE Flickr Photo Sharing account (my Flickr) but after looking at what was being offered by both Photobucket and Flickr it became obvious, maybe painfully obvious {LOL} what my choice should be ...

Following applies the their FREE accounts as they both offer PRO accounts which are indeed 'Unlimited' ...
... The numbers, or IMO what stood out most

• [size=1.3em]F[/size]lickr - 1024 x 578 each, w/ a 300Mb cap!
• [size=1.3em]P[/size]hotobucket - 2048x1536 each, w/ unlimited storage

• [size=1.3em]I[/size]mage[size=1.3em]S[/size]hack® - Another Photo Sharing site that allows direct linking like Photobucket. Although NOT reviewed here ...

The photo's which we can upload to Photobucket's FREE account are not only larger in size (higher resolution) than offered by Flickr FREE but there is also no limitation as to the number of photo's we can upload. And I personally find Photobucket even looks or can look better, but that's no surprise as their services offer more options toward the looks and/or the choice of themes

If you find yourself looking for a FREE Photo Sharing Service and find yourself trying to decide between both Photobucket FREE and Flickr FREE then I hope you will find this post of use ...

I thought this thread would be as good as any for this post, but the true reason I posted it within this thread is it's related to the 'Original' post (OP) and so teh LIST of Photographic Tutorials can be easily referenced at a future date. FYI:

For your own protection please read the following as there are plenty sneaky people out in the world.

What we need to take away from this example is it's in your best interest to read every [acronym=End-User License Agreement]EULA[/acronym] (the fine print) before signing up for anything!

I thought Photobucket was limited unless you paid for their service.  Thanks w00d.

I also thought that but was somewhat mistaken ... The Photobucket PRO account apparently offers the same unlimited number of photo's. Where as the PRO account does NOT limit the physical size (resolution) of the photo's as does their FREE service. Which for me makes it's useful or better for photo archiving (or back up)

Wanted to let you all know I've added some photography Tutorials to my 'Review' POST above, click 'HERE' or see 'Reply #13'

A little TIP I would like to pass on to our Photobucket (Pb) users

A really BIG annoyance I have with Pb, if using the browser to navigate it's the time it can take to change to a specific 'Album' that drives me to DRINK being so darn SLOW! And multiply by the number of Album changes I do per session times many visits per day and it adds up to quite a bit of wasted time.

So a BIG annoyance deserve a little FIX, simply put I've created 'Bookmarks' to each of my 'albums' plus one to the Pb 'upload' page which has made my workflow quite a bit faster thus making me a happier camper ... Although it should be filed under the heading "D'oh I'm such a knucklehead, why didn't I think of this sooner" LOL

I know it's just a simple idea but for Photobucket at least setting up this way made my (and maybe your) life a wee bit faster and less of a waste

Hope it helps
