Instructions for Posting and Using Images on This Forum Using Photobucket

[Pam]

Did you move the picture to a different folder in Photobucket?  It has to always stay in the same place for it to show up on the forum, or you have to change the image link after you move the picture.

I just put the one pic in there to see if it would work, when I hit the preview, it was in there.  Will try again, I am not real familiar with photobucket, if it doesn't work, will just keep using the dumb little thumbnail, lol.  Will try again and post it to see if I can fix it.

[Saltypaws]

Ok, trying again. Made new album, saved it, named it and see if it works.  Let me know.

Wow, on my end a little big, will resize if this is working.

[Pam]

You can resize it on Photobucket.  The size we want is 480 x 640 (large).

[Saltypaws]

I just forgot to size it, at least it works.  Thanks Pam.

Any particular reason why Photobucket keeps on deleting the titles of my photos and putting them out of order?
*pokes Photobucket with a big pointy stick*

[Pam]

Sorry smuffy.  I have no clue.

Is there a way for Photobucket to autmoatically resize images on upload? Or does it have to be manual?

[smuffy]

It eventually played nice. I think it was the stick threat that did it.

I don't really know.  I just resize mine manually.

I do the bulk download to do all of my pics and just below where they download to, find where it says max image size and right next to it click on "more options" and a small box will come up and you choose what size you want your pics and then click save and it will size all of your pictures without doing them one at a time.  I just found this out a couple of weeks ago and sure saves alot of time when you have 20 pictures to size.  Hope this helps.  Only thing is, everytime you upload, you have to change it again, which is no problem, that only takes a second.  Good luck.

Thanks so much Salty! Having two stories of big famillies can come up with a few pictures and it sure get's tedious!  

[Pam]

Yes, Salty, thanks very much for that information.  I hadn't really looked for a way to do bulk resizing.  I'll have to give it a try.

Photobucket now have an easier method that now stays the same each time!

When you go to the photobucket website you will see a green button with Upload on it, click that to get to the screen below:



Before you click Select photos and videos first choose Customize your upload options to get this screen:



Now select the picture size of the forum which is 640x480 or lower and press save. You can now upload your photos/videos and it will be automatically saved, the best thing is though that photobucket seems to have remembered that I set it to 640x480 and I haven't needed to change it since I tried it so now all my pictures and being uploaded and re-sized to 640x380!

Hope this helps some of the story tellers who use photobucket!


I didn't know where to put this so I just added it to the existing thread on posting images to the forum.

Good job, Thomas.  Thank you!
