Theres nowt wrong with the one we have as i can use it so it must be easy. If you change it i wont be able to upload pics then as if you use photo ****et its crap. HTH Twiggy:D:D

[oakwell]

the current one is more than good enough imo.

nice and easy just point to the photo and upload?

[sinaarrgghh]

Does'nt seem to be any photo issues on this site at all right now! :D;)

Talking of Photos......get snapping, FOTM/COTM nominations start tomorrow :D

Nothing like blowing yer own trumpet. :p

I disagree gents, its not at all user friendly.

For instance the actual management of your own photos is crap, the link to get there is not even on the page.

You have to click on every photo to view it, which is a pain in the arse, they always appear at the bottom of the page, so you cant put them inline with the text.

When asked, people that have difficulties, cant use the site one, but can use external ones, there is no user guide.

Oh and you have to use third party software to resize before you even touch the uploader.

Hi if i can use it any body can use it, i have tried to use photo ****et and its to baffling for me and others that have told me they cant get there heads round it. If we are going to change it get something that is easy as all url stuff is past me as on PF. Twiggy:D:D

agree with teee, not enough storage of photos either, my albums full and i don't want to delete any because they'll be deleted from the thread.

must admit thumbnails are a pita, but easily remedied by posting the reply, then click on the thumbnail to enlarge, right click and copy, edit the post and paste where you want the photo. it's more of an issue with what size peeps resize to i always use prish and resize to 640.

I use photo gadget what oakwell told me about and i find it good and easy to use, i have never had any bother putting pics on with it but all this posting and pasting and URLs does my head in. Twiggy:D:D

[ojp]

I might be blind.
But it'd be easier if there was a link at the top?

I find it easier to upload on UR and then just post the link here in all honesty!

Ok so we have :D

Open Photo bucket
Upload from camera
Click on a box
Press ctrl+v in a post

as opposed to

Downloading and installing a program
Resising the photo
Saving it to the computer
Finding the link on the site
Finding the file on the computer in the browse box
Then either copying and pasting the link in the thread to put them inline
or
ticking a box to get them to appear at the bottom of the post


I think there is a piece of software that acts as a photobucket style uploader but is actually part of the site, a bit more advanced than the one we have now.
I'll have a look.

RSS feed would be a massive + for me. It would make checking the site for new topics so much easier.
