Another round of image posting problems
Posted by nitroboy on Monday, November 22, 2004 9:27 PM
Well, since photo island shut down, and HP photo dosen't work, I took Spankybirds suggestion on another forum, and tried Shutterfly and Village photo. Shutterfly didn't work for me here, but Village photo did. Very easy. I recommend it to all.

Will village photos let you post pictures on the forum or just us links? Village wil not take my picture size where Shutterfly does but I have to use links for Shutterfly.

Dave, I am glad that VillagePhoto works for you. What broswer are you using [?]
I use MSN Explore and with checking the properities, and picking the URL Shutterfly work here great. I use them all the time.

CB - when you say VillagePhoto does not take your picture size what do you mean? They might have a maximum picture file limitation (in kilobytes) but I have no trouble uploading mine. I resize them (in Photoshop) to 640X480 and most of mine end up being around 70 KB.

Small Layouts are cool! Low post counts are even more cool! NO GRITS in my pot!!!

Nice pic Jim,

VillagePhoto has a limit of 100kb file size, so you have to resize your pic to reduce file size.

I've been using VillagePhoto for two-three weeks now and haven't had many problems except for the resizing issue. Once I figured that out everything has worked well.

Remember: you are what you eat, Happy Thanksgiving.
