Look at the difference in quality.

[Mama Got Boost??]

Okay so how did you get the pic to show?

[DC Dave]

:lol: If you right click and hit properties then copy the link then go to the post and hit the insert image button and then paste the link in there it will come up.

[Mama Got Boost??]

I saw that. That's a huge difference.

Funny how that works.

[DC Dave]

Did you figure out how to post the picture instead of a link?

[DC Dave]

FlickR is a "Photography" Hosting/Sharing site. A lot of Pros host on there.

Photobucket is a "Post your shitty picture" site.

Honestly, i haven't seen one bad picture on flickr.

Yeah, I noticed that.

Hold your horses, boys are girls. I'm working on a photo hosting solution. ;)

It's mostly set up, give me a few days to work out the kinks.

It depends on the size of the photo.

Also, it depends on how many times you have hosted the photo. I've never used photobucket for that reason. It simply sucks.

[CARNAG3]

<- uses a point and shoot:P

[DC Dave]

Basically

Missing that sig kinda defeats knowing that it's a Nardi

Also the two pictures hold different dimensions so how can you get an accurate comparison? This doesn't make sense

[DC Dave]

Because you cant thats how I uploaded one, and then I maximized the picture on the other site and thats how it came out. Either way its better than photobucket.

[CARNAG3]

I just resize in PS then upload to photobucket. works fine for me. but Im cleary no photographer, I dont pay as close attention to detail.

[DC Dave]

It doesnt happen with all the pictures. But ive noticed they do lose quality as well as when you save them and then put them on your myspace. Just saying. Something like that.

O btw idk if you seen it but the pics from causeway are up.

Sweet I think im going to do it...

[Mars_302]

Im talking about a true dedicated hosting service do everything deal. Not just a picture/video hoster.

O whats the difference?

[Mars_302]

A lot. I can put whatever I want, however I want on my own site. I can use whatever gallery software i want to choose. I can view stats on my site and see whose viewing what and where they are coming from. The only advantage to a thing like flickr is its easy.

I use dreamhost.com as my site hoster, I pay $120 a year right now, I get my own domain name, all the email addresses I want, I can ftp, create user accounts. I currently have 250 gigs of space and 5 terabytes of bandwidth, and I never even 3% of that. Plus it grows every week.

Well, I use reliablesite.net for my hosting. The plan is to setup a gallery2 install for everyone to use here. It's about as easy as flickr (if not more convenient) and it's fast. I pay $9.95/mo and I've got 100gb of storage and 999gb of transfer per month.

Overselling is rampant in the hosting world - very few people use more than a couple of gigabytes of storage and transfer per month and these providers bank on that.

Anyway, gallery is setup. I just need to setup a domain and it should be ready to go.

[Chris C.]

I have been using Photobucket FOREVER. So long that I actually made the decision to purchase a pro account there. There is a 5mb file size limitation and multiple file type support. Thats along with unlimited bandwidth, so my images never go down, which has happened plenty of times. Not to mention bulk uploading and/or FTP access. And it only cost me $25 for a year.

You have to weigh out what you need and what you think you need. I am perfectly content with what I get out of photobucket, even though its not a super-duper flickr pro account. And on the other hand, you cant expect to get professional results from free services. Image compression is essential to keep storage space and bandwidth low just to keep it what it is, A FREE SERVICE.

Now the hard part....figuring that out.

[.:Chris:.]

That's the easy part!

I guess I should take suggestions on what the domain should be.

Come up with a few and poll it....IMO


But it would be your site....so it would be your decision.

[.:Chris:.]

I already have a couple of domains, the real debate is whether it will just be used to host images for TR or if it will be used more universally.

Anyway, we're getting off topic. I'll make a thread later when I have more time.

I used to run Gallery2. I in fact I rather loved it other than the look of it. There was an update for it, so I updated mine, and I lost a lot of the cool things I liked about. And since I suck at programming, I wasnt going to try and fix it or restore it back. I went ahead added coppermine. Its pretty good, but I dont like that fact you cant have a bunch of subfolders like you can in gallery2

[.:Chris:.]

Gallery2 is pretty easy to work with most of the time. The initial setup has given me problems in the past and this time is no different.

Once it's setup and running, it's great. I've never tried coppermine, but if Gallery doesn't cooperate I'm going to give it a try.

[Kirk]

I have unlimited hosting on my server... no quality loss. I use Coppermine.

[DareDevil]

LOL. If you want something setup, PM me and we can talk. It's not difficult.
