photo bucket

[DGShannon_imp]

DG I don't understand the difficulty. Like with the chain adjuster pics the other day someone wanted. Grab the camera, go to garage, take 6 pics, plug camera into computer, download pics to jpeg photo file. At that point its like taking any pics & downloading them for later viewing or sharing in an email or whatever.(vacation, kids, family, christmas... Kwhatever). Click on photobucket, instruct it to download pics, choose pics you want downloaded, say done and it downloads them all at once. Click on your bucket, click on photo you want to post, click on sharing link on right, it automatically copies that link, go to thread you want to post photo in, click and hit paste. DONE! I guarantee you I can go thru the whole process from sitting in my house to posting pics in a thread in under 5 minutes.

I'm going to post a pic from photobucket here and time it with my stopwatch

Done 1 minute 3.39 seconds, including opening up the photobucket page

Didn't say it was "difficult", for me. But, based upon the ongoing comments, it is obviously difficult to impossible for many of the users here, who just can't get it right, or give up altogether.

Compared to posting a photo off your phone, or computer, straight into a modern social tool such as Facebook, Instagram, a Google Community, etc. the process of having to push your photos out onto a 3rd party site, copy their link, return to the forum, and paste it on photo by photo, is a bit convoluted. When folks grow accustomed to easily posting a picture on a social site in 3 seconds, your timed 63 second example becomes 60 seconds too long, and several steps too many.

People used to spit photos out of their Polaroid camera, and wait about that long for them to develop right in front of them. Amazing at the time, but as technology advanced, that old 60 second process was no longer acceptable. Call me lazy, but more often than not I just skip posting a photo into the forum, rather than go through the steps.

Anyway, I don't want to be that guy that causes a locked thread, so I will bail out of this debate right now!
