Uploading Photos on Slippertalk

[Marc]

I moved over from Photobucket to Imageshack after I found out Photobucket would manipulate the photos during the process. I am very happy with the move. The photos I upload into Imageshack are the exact photos that gets posted onto the forum.

Could you elaborate what kind of changes Photobucket performs on uploaded photo's? Do they compress them further or did you notice something else?

I've been using Photobucket for several years and have not noticed any changes to my files. But I size them prior to uploading them there.

It was discussed in this post

http://www.slippertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=18565&

Someone else brought up the subject. Initially I was dubious about the original posters claims. When I tested it out for myself I realised he was right. I hadn't realised what Photobucket was doing until I studied it closely and compared it with Imageshack.

I guess the changes are subtle but they are there. The greater advantage of Imageshack is the speed in which I can upload a photo. I can have a link to post into the forum within 10 seconds. It was a lot longer in Photobucket.

I find photobucket faster than Imageshack. But Imageshack says my files are too large....

If I had to log into Imageshack like I do with Photobucket than that maybe the case. I find Photobucket slow due to so much downloading (of all your photos) when you log in. With the Imageshack uploader software you download, I can bypass all that. Uploading a file into Imageshack takes the same amount of time as say opening MSWORD and then opening up a previously saved document. It is a matter of seconds. The process is exactly the same.

Photobucket may have the same uploader software as Imageshack. I just may not have seen it. If they haven't I'm sure they are working on it.

I just resize the files to the size I want them to appear on the forum, which doesn't need to be very big.

Chad, In Imageshack you > "get image links" > "forum" - copy that and paste into the reply or new thread dialogue box here on Slipper Talk.
