Hello my name is Justin and I am new to this site. I have bought the magazine for a long time but never came on the site till now. The level of builders here are outstanding. Now who do I need to use to post pics can I use my shutterfly account or will I have to use photobucket or something like that. Any help will be great. Thank you.

Welcome Justin!

As far as posting pics Shutterfly should be okay..........I'd give it a test to see if they will let posts link here. Just use the second button to the right of the emoticons above the message box to paste the URL properties of the pic and preview your post. Make sure the URL suffix is a .jpg however.

When using that button, get rid of the "http://" in the field before pasting otherwise the pic won't show.

If you're using Photobucket, clicking on the properties will automatically copy the URL in your mouse and simply paste here in the message box.

So lets see some pics!

Hello guys looks like I will not be able to post my pic on this site using Shutterfly. If any one else here uses SHutterfly please let me know if it works for you. I belonged to another forum a while back and I had to use Photobucket to post my pics. It was great for a week then I got a really bad virus and we had to trash that laptop. I hope somebody can help me with this. Any hel with this would be great.

Okay, I just looked up Shutterfly.......and it looks as though they're using an Adobe Flash Player to let you view pics. You can't get pic properties from those to post.

Only way to get around that is to get a screen shot of the pic-------but you'd still have to have a hosting site to link them.

You really might want to give Photobucket another try...........a number of guys here use 'em and I've heard no complaints about them.

BTW, I'm using the latest version of Mozilla Firefox which'll scan your pics for viruses when you're downloading them if that's what you're worried about.

I seldom use IE for ANYTHING!

I started using Photobucket over a year ago after I maxed out my free Fotki account. It is much easier to post than Fotki and unlimited pics(so far anyway). I'm also using Mozilla now but had AOL before, and never had a virus/pic problem. As Bill said, try giving Photobucket another shot, I don't think you will be disappointed. Oh yeah....... Welcome aboard.

Hey Justin Im not a computer person as I have some one else post my photography here on the board. They use a program called FOTKI . Seems to work well for them. I just know Im supposed to set my digital camera to the least possible setting . Thins seem to work well from there. Im still in love with a Crown Grapxics I bought from a vendor in Fort Worth Years ago. It take nice big negitives , only problem is you really can't find 120 format t film any more!!!! Ed Shaver
