storing & posting photos

10 years ago

I used to have pictures on Photobucket & could just download them on GW. After not using it for many months, I went back & find I can't get my account up or even the site for that matter, it pops up then the whole page goes white. Do you have to pay to be on this now or did it go defunct?

My question is who do ya'll recommend as a place to store photos so you can download them on GW without having to make a new post for every single photo? Preferably for free (of course).

I use photobucket at no cost. I think the size of the file has something to do with how many you can post at one time.
I am sorry I know so little about posting, but there are a few on here that are really sharp on picture and just about anything else.

I use photo bucket all the time for the pictures I post. No problem with mine.

Just for you, I uploaded the following pictures just now. First went to PB, and then clicked on my library.
uploaded to the folder I wanted to use, and here are the pictures.

I use the html tag, and put it one at the time here in the message. First picture is of my iris

the following pictures are of my daughters back yard make over.

Blanca, So funny that you mention "happy" music for your plants. When I was in high school I did a comparison between plants grown from seeds under identical conditions; the only exception was that one group had Disney music played (it was an LP that played over and over automatically if that hints at the years). When I told the Disney company of my findings (don't know why I did, but guess I thought they should know that their music was involved in this positive study) they sent me a new LP!! Whoo hoo...I think I must have been 15. That was the same year that my biology teacher spent extra time before/after school and taught me meristem culture of orchids (I think that's what it was called). It involved taking pieces of an orchid, cutting it and plating it out on agar in flasks, and it grew into clumps of cells that would be transferred again and that made new baby epidendrum orchids. When I was in Costa Rica and saw fields of these red/orange orchids growing wild, I thought of Mr. Havickhorst. He was like a surrogate father to me (my own dad and I butted heads) and we still keep in touch!! OK...so that's way more than you wanted to know about me! Kristi

Posting a photo: Can someone post directions?
Q

The easiest way I know is to use tinypic.com - directions were posted by mightyanvil as follows: "RE: Exterior options. (Follow-Up #3) posted by: mightyanvil on 07.31.2006 at 10:05 am in Building a Home Forum To post a photo: go to http://tinypic.com (it's free and no sign up is required) select "browse" and go find your jpg, png, gif, or tif photo file and select it (it will be automatically downsized to 250K) select the "upload image" button copy the contents of the "HTML" window and paste it into the text part of your message. Now preview you message. If you can see the photo, submit the message If you are unsure of yourself try all of this first at the "test forum" which is linked at the bottom of the main forum page. You might have to play with the dimensions of the original photo to keep the downloaded version from being too large since that sometimes stretches the text of all messages to the right (possibly off the screen)" Claire Here is a link that might be useful: TinyPic Site

Oh, thanks, MADD: That explains it. RATS. I'm switching to Photobucket. However, that'll be a BIG job. Double RATS - several hours to put all my photos into a new system. Isn't this the PITS?!!!

What's going on with my Spider Plant?
Q
Comments (18)
Oh, I also put it in a new pot today, and it didn't have any brown roots. But, it turns out that the old pot actually did have a tray inside of it. The roots had grown right out of the tray's drainage holes and started swirling around the bottom of the pot! And you'd never know without removing the whole plant! Anyways, I mixed up some orchid mix & regular potting mix for my spider's new home. The orchid mix is just bark, charcoal, and pearlite. Should this be ok? Or would this be harmful somehow? I also read the link litterbuggy posted, which recommended using a wick, so I did that too.

I use photobucket too. I got it way back when. I go through spurts of using it...but it is the easiest way to post pics here. I might have thought they deactivated your Acct if it had been a long time..but mine still works.

Check the way you log in...they "improved" it. *eyeroll*

If you have a smartphone...you can download a photobucket app

I think I'm too tired right now to plow through this stuff but I did find this page about others having difficulty. "New & Improved" ---- am I the only person getting real tired of things constantly being improved? Remember when TV's just had "on" "off" switches an a channel knob? Now you need a thick instruction book.

When I pull the photo "bucket" up, its there for a flash, then the whole page goes white & blank.

Smartphone?????? Heck, I don't even have a cell phone. No twitterin or tweetin' here.

Oklamoni, it just hit me, that must be Okievegans backyard? She's your daughter right? Those iris are gorgeous! and thats a cute idea in her back yard. Its wonderful that you both are interested in gardening. My mother in law used to be my best gardening pal in the world until she died. Its a great thing to share, none of her daughters or sons were into it so we had that special bond together.

Yep, that's me. My back garden is set up that way because I don't want my dog to have full choice on what constitutes a toilet area, but I still want her to be able to wander around looking and sniffing. It looks better today because I finally got the mulch in.

No cell phone??? I thought I was the last hold out on a smart phone :) I got a cell phone years and years ago now!

I don't love, love my smartphone NOR do I love the bill, but I do like the ease of posting the photos.

(I am an avid facebooker, but I can't find a love for twitter.)
