I've tried to use PhotoBucket too, bb, but I have too much trouble getting pictures transferred. Ras showed me how to use Imageshack years ago, & since some pictures are dropped occasionally with that hosting service, I've tried PB, but it's too frustrating. :hmm: I'm not computer savvy! :-[

I find that if you use their bulk uploader, it's much easier! Is it finding the pictures on your computer that is the problem? Because that can be pretty challenging until you get the sequence down. What you can do is, when you are in your picture software, looking at the picture you want to upload, right click the pic and go to "locate this image on my computer", and it will help show you the path to get there. I've actually taken out pen and paper and just wrote it down so I would remember where to find it. And when using the bulk uploader on PB, you can just check off all the photos you want uploaded, instead of having to find the right file again each time.

I may try to use it when I post my custom blonde sideburn pic's. I set up an account way back when, but got too frustrated to continue trying!

Yeah, I get the idea they have changed. i'm new to it, but I understand that their bulk uploader is a new feature. it's much easier to use than uploading the photos one at a time, which is very tedious!

 :wave:

I am on a Mac and find that Photobucket is quite user friendly.  I would recommend placing all of the pictures you currently want to upload into a single folder - rather than trying to add them individually.  On a Mac you just drag the pics out of iPhoto into a folder on the desktop and   :clap: Viola! use the bulk uploader .  PB.  Easy peasy japaneesey! (no offense to our friends in the far east!  8-)] I think I've seen Shawshank Redemption one too many times.... but I digress.

One other note is that prior to uploading them to PhotoBucket I often use "Preview" to shrink them.  Just open them there, adjust the quality slide bar to the far left and "save as" JPEG.   (More often than not you can get the file  size down below 1 MB.)
 ;D So far it seems to be the easiest way to do it on a Mac   ;D

How's this? ???
I still can't see stuff with imageshack ... :-[

(Actually, there's a possibility that there's no way to solve this ...)

INTERESTING DEVELOPMENT.

Actually I don't why we didn't think of it before  :lol:
This afternoon Luis posted in my facebook wall a pic from imageshack that I couldn't see and still can't see here. In facebook I see it perfectly.
So it seemds that the problem is with the forum platform or server or whatever it is called, no expert here. Maybe it will fix when Sylvia do the upgrade she mentioned somewhere??  ??? ???
Does this give you some clue Sylvia of what could be happening?
