I need another option than Photo bucket

[lfalzarano]

Clarification Please. The proposal to post photos on a increase in Registry membership is an excellent idea. BUT the Forum is available to anyone and they will not be contributing financially to paying for this image server. The Forum would need to limited to Registry members only. Otherwise we are paying for non-members photo's. That is not fair.

So.....Registry Non Members have photo storage same as Registry Members?

I get the feeling this is none of my business
If this thread gets closed.....we will know this is none of my business
I got in trouble one time showing a photo of a grain cart alongside a semi truck in corn field as being wasteful regarding photo usage but that is all I had at the time in my Album trying to show photo sizing in posts.

Some of these boys do not know if I am joking, teasing, making fun, having fun, or just trying to help....that is where I get into trouble......

That was me Cliff, but as with yourself, you didn't realize I was just joking!

I also changed the setting for 10 images per post.

We (The Board of the Registry) are looking at our options of using the Albums (I don't see a way to upload videos??) or hosting our own image server. I am not sure if the use of Albums is limited or not or if it can be.

Our concern is what you are just discussing, members vs non-members. If we host our own image server we can add videos and also control this to be a members only access site, however we would need to create a from end interface to allow uploading and managing of images.

Our main concern is the continuity of the images as we have holes in threads now so we would like to be able to store, backup and preserve them.

Stay tuned as we would like to provide the "solution"

The use of Albums here on this Forum is limited to 400 photos (I was thinking for ALL Albums associated with your ID but it appears for EACH Album associated with your ID??).....I think there is no limit on the number of Albums but am not sure. When I upload a photo into any one Album the Total photo space Available plus photos I have loaded equals 400 for any one Album???

Each post is limited to 30,000 characters and 10 images including smilies.

Can I assume Albums on this Registry will allow at least 400 photos TOTAL for ALL Albums (for paying members) in the future?

I prefer to use Albums on the Forums for Simplicity. The obvious reason for using Forum Albums is Albums on the Forums will (I think) exist as long as the Forums? 400 photos is really a lot of photos......400 photos for each Album is not believable (number of Albums must then have a LIMIT)?



The BIG Trick for Photo Album Use on the Registry is.....


ALERT


The BIG Trick for Photo Album Use on the Registry is.....


After you have selected 800 or 400 or other pixels using Paint (or other photo pixel resize software) on your computer and applied to any photo on your computer....and after you have uploaded that photo to your Registry Album of Albums.

Once the photo is in your Registry Album (resized by PAINT on your computer) you go to that Album and LEFT Click on the photo....It will then appear the size you PAINTED. You then select and copy the BB Code. Then Paste the BB Code into a post.

Another way is to LEFT Click on the photo and Select Copy. Left Click on Insert Image in the Post Heading and Paste the Copy in the Insert Image Box. Click on OK and the image will be Inserted where your curser was set before you selected Insert Image.

I have begun the process of moving the location of all the images I have on the Forum to my own website server. I have over 3000 Forum images currently hosted by PhotoBucket. This will take a long time to do because it requires getting the original image from my home computers, resizing every image, and loading them to my website server. After a batch is on the server, I can edit each post of mine that has photos.


Here is a sample of the size I chose. How does it look on your screen?

Your photo is perfect and identical to U2 SLOW

On my Cell Phone the photo shows up just a bit smaller than my U2 SLOW which is 800 pixels.

How does U2 SLOW show up on screens? I am using Registry Albums.

[QB93Z]

I see my image (RT66) in the quote you made of my post, which is weird if you see an "X".


Your U2 SLOW and my RT66 images are the same width on my screen.


Can you get any link info from the "X" symbol?

You asked about resizing. Right now I am using a photo editor called PaintShop Pro because I am very familiar with it. Going forward I will be investigating the JAlbum software that George (Gunny) recommended to do the resizing or writing a script for PSP to do batch resizing.


I have my FTP program set to force lowercase characters on transfer because I have had problems with uppercase on my website.


It just now dawned on me that when I am editing a post using "insert image" to replace the hosted image, I do not need to save the image on my server because it is uploaded to the ZR-1 Net Registry's server. Do you agree?




EDIT: I just checked again and the images I have posted are just links to a host site (mine) so I will have to keep the image on my server.
