The best thing to do, if you're using photobucket, is to use the editing tools in photo bucket. it comes with a full editing suite and totally negates having to have your own software on your PC.....

Hi Waylander. You know, that is a very good question that Paul or Lee will have to answer. I know they want us to use PhotoBucket or similiar as they take up no storage space from whatever is allocated to this forum but using attachments does. Great question my friend. I would prefer to use attachments for photographs as they will stay with the post but will see what Lee and Paul comes back with.

Cheers
Jim

Hi guys

You should be fine using either method, if remember right the forum package myself and lee have paid for is unlimited everything, lee will confirm that though, myself I prefer photo bucket, as if I looking for an old pic I know where it is. The only problem with PB is if you use it a lot,(like I do) theres a limit how much you can upload and you have to pay for the premium account (about £3 per month).

Lee wrote:I pay for the photo bucket pro. It's only $24.99 per annum, which works out to roughly £1.40 per month. Not a lot of money for the service you receive imo

I'm not dense with computers but sharing photos on here is really screwing with my head. Even tinypic is a mac mystery. *sigh*

Any help would be gratefully appreciated. Thanks.

Only to have run into a "cyber wall"

A much lesser site, IMO, has a pic re-sizing option automatically available.
Many modelers are in their Golden Years and this computer stuff is hardly, if best, understood.

Lord knows how many super talented but computer "un-savvy" shall I say politely, "oldsters", are blocked out by what to many younger folk
may seem trivial, but to the "Computer Harpy" fearful, seems insurmountable or just not worth the trouble (sad)

I have a VERY good cyber friend who would faithfully see me through Hell and back to slay the "Re-Size Dragon"
I'm lucky I guess, but not many are so.

Still weighing desirability of tangling with this electronic antagonist to be able to post pics on this site.
If it doesn't work out...I won't be the only loser.(again, sad)

Here's the ant crying into the hurricane......Help Grampy and Grammy ! ....let us just post pics from our desk top photo files,
I have Windows 8. something or other. I love it and have resisted going to 10.0 ?...see what I mean.

If monetary issues are a consideration I would be the first in line to pay a reasonable...shall we say...yearly stipend.
UGH!...In Dutch already.....Jim

I've not written any code for phpBB for a couple of years but I seem to remember this was a simple thing to fix?
