Where do I upload pictures?

[ardchoille]

I am in need of a place to upload my kilt pictures. Is there a free service that I can upload picture galleries and make web pages? What do the members of these forums use for such things? ImageShack used to be good for this but that site has become horribly slow of late.

From the F.A.Q.

How do I post pictures in a thread?
First of all, upload your picture to the Web, be it your own Web site or to an online album, such as Photobucket. Once you have the image stored on the Web, carefully note the entire URL (address) of the image.

Then , browse over here to X Marks and log in, decide where you want that shiny new image to be displayed and then read the following instructions and follow them, step-by-step.

You will want to type all of the following on one line, with no spaces or breaks.

[img] http://www.theaddresswhereyourimagei...om/imagenumber, name and type [/img]

Easy-peasy, ladies and gentlemen. It is not rocket science, OK?

(And yes, you do need to use the http:// convention with the Web address, as just a www. isn't going to make the cut.)

The IMG tags are looking for a Location address, with an image extension, such as .jpg and not an .html address.

PS - Photobucket actually gives you the code to cut and paste directly into the thread.

You can create a free account at kiltphotos.com and do galleries. The link in my signature will take you to their site. Good stuff.

www.photobucket.com also works well for me. Also it will give you the links to use here at XMarks. (the IMG option)

photobucket, imageshack...those are both free... imageshack lets you resize...photobucket is the easiest

Imageshack is horribly slow at times. I created an account at photo bucket, that should be good enough.
