Thread: picture posting

I'm not using a foreign website to post anything. All I've done is download software, that my Norton security claims to be safe. After that, there is no connection with the foreign website - all they did is provide free software.

Someone who knows more about this topic point me to specifics about a better way to post pics. I won't come close to running out of free space at photobucket, for my current build log. That build log is likely to be my first, last and only one, just like the hot rod. I don't expect to build another.

I hadn't been aware of "Image Optimizer" until Glenn posted his example - Very Sad.... and it's indeed a great piece of freeware - easy to use, and you keep the original high resolution images segregated by folder vs having two of every file in one folder as Windows Live Photo Gallery does it. As Glenn pointed out there is nothing lost, including the resolution of the total image. The only warning I'd offer is that if a person goes into the existing PhotoBucket files and "optimizes" the files to gain storage space the links to other places those photos might be linked (like here on a CHR thread) will be broken, and one would have to go back and edit each post to re-link.

Dave, I fully understand that you didn't say that you were promoting modifying your existing PhotoBucket files, I'm simply pointing out the potential hazard of that act, should anyone be thinking of it.
