PB locked my account and wouldn't let me and has basically tried to hold me hostage to pay and get back into my account. They plastered me with e-mails to try and get me to sign up for a paid account. Leading up to that the site was becoming more unstable and hammered me with ads non stop.
Been meaning to look at another option as I have a several rides to report and lots of pics to post.
The internet is full of message traffic and complaints about how PB has gone down hill lately.
Gumby...your pic is showing. How did you do that from your hard drive? Any tech savvy folks on the forum, Can someone link back/access to Gumby's HD using that photo?
I just follow the instructions in the attachment box below the reply window. It shows you your own directory on your hard drive and you pick the file you want to attach. You also have the choice to embed it into the body of the post. I'm pretty sure this process doesn't allow anyone access to my hard drive, but anyone else should be able to cut & paste or save the image.
If it is oversize (above 250 kb or so) it will tell you. Usually I have to resize my photos using photopaint or photogallery or whatever photo software available to resize high resolution photos down to manageable size for the forum or to share in e-mails. Maybe that is the benefit of using Photobucket if it automatically reduces large files for sharing.
