Help with Photobucket

10 years ago

A few questions.....I just tried to resize a photo but it won't let me...I size the width and then when I try to change the height it changes the width I just set...on and on.

The last time I posted what I thought was one photo, everyone could see all my photos...how do you post so just the one photo shows?

Also, how do you embed?

Please spell out any replies as if to a first grader....I truly am a techno idiot!!

I know these have all been addressed before but the one thread I read still did not get me where I needed to go...

Thanks!

Oh, joanie your soo cute.
I'm a first grader also .
I mark my photo bucket as private.
Only the photo I attach here will be seen.

I have sent msg. to people here that they may not know their whole bucket is open.

You can go back and delete your photos 'till you get it straight.

Joanie....there's really no need to resize your photos since photobucket resizes them when you upload.

1. Go to the main page and look for your log-in name at the top. There's a drop-down arrow next to your name. Click on that and select 'user setting'.
2. When that opens, look at the top of the page and click the tab 'Albums'.
Make sure the box for HTML code is checked.
3. Scroll on down on that same page and click on 'customize upload options'. Select the size you want your photos ...........I always use the recommended size of 1024x768 and the photos are never too large or too small.

When you're ready to embed the photo in your text, select the photo in your album, and to the right of the photo it should say 'Links to share this photo'. Copy the HTML code and paste it within your text

See if that helps............

Tufaenough is right. Just make ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY certain that you have the flanges or rebar in EXACTLY the right place. If you have to stand the arbor feet on a large sheet of paper and draw around the feet to make a pattern to get it right, DO SO! BTW, getting assistance from a helpful, knowledgeable neighbor might save a lot of frustration. Most the the guys at HD are just clerks, hired a month ago, and their main interest is cars and beer, not building. They will give advice off the top of their head without any experience at all. Sue

When I log in to pb there's a green "upload now" button right below the ad. Just use that to upload. Then save. They have overengineered PB -- sad and annoying as it used to be a wonderful place to edit and store photos. There are settings in most cameras to either make photos certain sizes or "quality". Quality=size. So first check camera settings if most pix are small. I'd rather have larger than smaller files ie higher quality. If you're on a PC you can mouse over any photo on the hard drive and see the size. That is given in "dimensions" -- say 600 x 400 (pixels) as an example, plus file size or what I describe as "weight" (for want of a better description) in mb usually. Anything over 600 p wide is getting very large. A good overall photo size of good quality can be 450 to 500 p wide. The length will adjust proportionately. It's good to take photos that size or larger so they'll be sharp. And then use them that size or smaller unless you plan to make very large prints. As a reference for thumbnails, most are 100 x 100 p. and under 30 mb, or slightly smaller or larger up to about 200 p wide which is a really horsey thumbnail bordering on medium size. In general, photos are made smaller but not larger. You can only enlarge them successfully if they are a very big size (heavy/high resolution or lots of mb) to begin with. A good working mb size to put on the web is something under 50 mb so it loads quickly (when there are those long delays the photos are usually to heavy to load quickly and on dial up fugheddaboutit). For resizing and editing I use picnik, which can then be linked to photobucket/flickr/picasa so you can send photos over there easily to store and link. Much more intuitive to use. And free. Or, if you have windows xp there is a really handy image resizer gadget than can be downloaded and it does small, medium, large and custom resizing with 2 clicks. Here is a link that might be useful: picnik

I have two photobucket accounts, one for posting here, which is public and one that I use for private pics. you just have to have a different email address to do that, and of course a different user name for the 2nd account.

olychick, you don't have to have two accounts, just set up an album that is unlocked and use that for any pics you don't mind being public.
All my other albums are 'locked' except one. That one.........I don't care who looks thru it. : )

But, if you have family/friend accessing your account then I can see having two separate accounts, especially if you prefer to use your real name one of the accounts.

I have a "Gardenweb" album that I put anything I want to post here in, and a "Kitchen remodel" album that is public (mostly because I post those pics here too). Everything else is usually private.

Thanks, Annz, I did know that, but I really want to make sure all my family stuff is completely separate and private and don't want to give my friends and family access to my gw stuff.
