whats the best place to upload your pics to

[crankcase76]

just curious as would like to know what are the best sites to store my photos to so i can upload to my post and collections. would love so feed back on this guys as i am currently starting photo cataloging my collection.

I'd recommend Photobucket.com (http://photobucket.com/) as it is extremely easy to upload, modify, sort and post one's pics. ;):)

They also give you a large amount of Bandwidth and Storage (10Gb) for a free account, with an option for more bandwidth and larger storage for a reasonable fee, and they link to pretty much every Social Media site known to man with no hassle :cool:; though I've never used any of the SM features as my online socialising consists of OTCA and that's pretty much it. :p

+1 on what Hursty recommended.

I use flickr.com
It takes a little time to use, but is easy to search for other people's uploads (if a google photos search doesn't work), based on tags or photo names.

This should help (http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php?p=266060#post266060). Or this (http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php?p=265487#post265487).

Look for something called "forum code" or "bb code" and copy and paste that link/code into the body of your post here.

thanks griffin, will give it a go.

There are also "insert link" and "insert Image" icons at the top of the reply box on this forum. I copy the image link from Photobucket and paste in the dialogue box that turns up when clicking one of those icons.

If you'r looking to catalogue your collection you might want to also try the itfdb (http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php?t=3647)

thanks Ultra will try that as well. i did do some posting of my DoTM collection last night, but found that i have a huge list of pics under the DoTM heading. just wondering if you use the BB code to put it in the actual DoTM writing i have put up.
