Matthew - 24 Nov 2006 18:24 GMT With me now with my new camera :-) I am going to be able to take more pictures like I want to specially with more time on my hands. Is there a place that I can load my pictures up online and have them for all to see but I would like keep personal information hidden due to the ones that lurk here for no good.
Jo Firey - 24 Nov 2006 18:59 GMT I use webshots and it has never been a problem.

I like webshots, they make it easy to view pictures full size if you want to.

> I like webshots, they make it easy to view pictures full size if > you want to. I'd like to weigh in with my *strong dislike* of webshots! I haven't used them to post pictures, but I've gone there many times to view other people's pictures, and each page is painstakingly slow to load because there's so much junk on there that I do not care about seeing. I usually have to click the link, and then go do something else while I wait for the photo to load. And I have DSL, btw, so my connection speed isn't the problem!
Yahoo has an easy-to-view picture gallery. But I don't know what it's like to deal with them if you are the one posting the pictures, so I can't recommend or oppose them, but as a person who loves to look at everyone's cat pictures, I like them a lot.

Yahoo photos is real easy to upload to.

I hate Yahoo pictures, you can never see them full size. If I see a link to Yahoo I don't bother with it.

Same here -- tiny pictures, and nonmembers cannot gain access. Almost *any* of the other sites are preferable, although I do dislike all the advertising on some sites.

Me too. The best I've seen from other people is Photobucket, because it lets you post a direct link to the photo itself, no junk at all. The best solution is one like what I use, paid-for server space of your own hosted by a fast ISP.

Yahoo is horrible if you aren't using Microsoft software. I never bother looking at Yahoo sites any more, chances are any attempt to navigate anywhere will freeze up in a Javascript loop.

I use Firefox, and I never have trouble with the Javascript on Yahoo.
Not that I'm any great lover of Yahoo, mind you, but I don't have any trouble viewing photos on it.
Others have come up with other suggestions besides either Yahoo or WEbshots.

I'm the opposite. I like webshots and HATE yahoo - I had a yahoo album for awhile but it was a pain in the rear to use and I deleted it. I love the webshots photo manager that lets you upload as many photos at once as you feel like, without even going to the website... I select about 20 shots and go away and leave the computer alone for 15 minutes so it can do it's thing.

There are a number of websites where you can make on-line albums to display your photos. I use picturetrail, which I find relatively easy to use. The only information displayed is what I decide to write about the photos.

I like www.picturetrail.com. They have a free introductory period, then there is a small annual charge ($19.95, if I remember correctly). You can categorize by albums, as you can see by the names under my sig.

When I neared that limit, I was offered the opportunity to pay $19.95 a year to store a lot more there. I could have deleted some of the photos I had there to make room for others, and wouldn't have had to pay, but I decided to pay the extra, which so far has given me unlimited storage.

Matthew, in addition to the information you requested (and received several responses), you also might like to post individual pictures to one of the binaries newsgroups -- that is, alt.binaries.pictures.animals. Several of us from rpca and h+b post occasional pics of our furbabies there.

Picasa web albums is a good place to post your pictures.

Joy - 24 Nov 2006 23:34 GMT > THANK YOU EVERYONE > > I will check out all of them going to have some fun with my new play toy I'm sure you'll enjoy it, Matthew. One of the great advantages of digital cameras is that you can take as many shots as you like. You don't have to get them printed to find out which ones are bad. You can delete them either before or after you download them to your hard drive, and you can crop or otherwise manipulate the ones you decide to print if you want to.

Marina - 25 Nov 2006 05:36 GMT > THANK YOU EVERYONE > > I will check out all of them going to have some fun with my new play toy One more alternative: Flickr at http://flickr.com/. I recently read somewhere someone saying it's the best photo-sharing site there is, but don't remember where I read that (not on the flickr site ;o) ). My niece posts there. The only problem is, it seems you can only upload a limited number of pics; at least I can't find some of the older pics of my niece's. I've been thinking of using flickr, but I already have Yahoo and Webshots accounts (I prefer Webshots, though I don't like their new layout), so I don't know if I want to add yet another photo account to those. Oh, and I lied when I signed up for Yahoo. :o) Gave false name and address etc. :oD

Lorraine - 25 Nov 2006 18:19 GMT >Picasa web albums is a good place to post your pictures. > >http://picasa.google.com/web/help.html I just opened up a web album at Picasa. It's actually very nice so far. I thought at first that it required the software download, but it doesn't. It also doesn't use a bunch of scripting or add a bunch of ads to slow it down to a crawl like Webshots. Full size pics are available to view. There is a user setting to determine if viewers are given an option to download the pic. Other picasa users can leave comments, but pictures are available to all if desired. You can have private folders/photos only available to those you send the link. RSS feed is available.
The only con I really saw was that it was limited to 250mb for the free version. To add to that it will cost $25 yearly for 6.25gb, and there are larger allowances for more money.
Overall, it's a very nice simple interface without all the crap that goes with other free services.
I put up some kitty photos including the newly crocheted kitty pi at http://picasaweb.google.com/raineontheplain

> I just opened up a web album at Picasa. It's actually very nice so far. That's a really nice site, I agree. Easy to use, clean, not much junk on it. And I like that once you look at the first picture in a series, the others in the same series display immediately - no waiting. I don't know if they download them all at once, or if they have a very fast algorithm for downloading, but it works really well. If I needed a place to store pictures on the web, I'd choose this site (but my ISP provides huge amounts of web storage).
Oh, and beautiful kitties, too, by the way! :) Ty is very regal. And Lucy is a beauty.

You could make a webshots gallery... it's free for the first 3 albums and 300 photos so you could just make a 'cats' album to load them into.
