Auto Resizer for posting Images?
« Reply #-1 on: December 06, 2011, 02:53:18 PM »
All my pictures are too big to post on this site. Do they have some that will do what Facebook does by just resizing whatever we try and upload to the correct size?

Just asking.

Good job folks!

I think it all has to do with the "hosting" aspect of photos....
If they reside on the forum's site - the bandwidth quickly becomes an issue with as many pics as we like to have ( CB does say that "the eye takes the first bite" )
But - if you use Photobuccket to host your photos, it coordinates witht eforum so that the photosshow up here - but are not actually stored here....Kind of like a projector in a movie theater holds the actual film, but it projects on the screen it is pointed at.

I was having probs with image-shack and Photobucket has been easier for me. I resize them to 800x600 and they work good on the forum threads.....

Photobucket even has an auto-re-sizer that makes it quick and easy. As well - they have a "bulk up-loader" so that if you put all of the pics in a folder on your desktop, and title it - you can first P-bucket to up-load all of those, and put them in a folder named as you like. Easy to find base don any criteria you choose. Dates, subject matter, etc.......
