Option 2 doesnt guarantee pix will aways be here.
No option does unfortunately.
No opt 1 and 2 doesnt allow bigger pix. Smaller actually, 700KB each
Click and open a pix in your photobucket album
At the bottom right of a pix there should be a SHARE button
Clicking that should bring up a list of a few choices. Choose:
Get links
That should pull up a window that has an IMG code box. Copy all the info in the IMG code box and paste it into your forum replies
Once you put oix into an album and post them to a forum, if you move them, change their file name or otherwise make any changes, it will break the coded link in your replies and the pix disappear. Thats what AD is suggesting you avoid. If Photobucket ever goes caput, pix will also be lost.
Countless images here were lost due to a software failure that couldnt be avoided. Users moving their Photobucket pix around after posting them is a primary reason those pix go MIA, if users wouldnt move them, they wouldnt disappear. Other less reliable 3rd party host sites folding is a smaller # of the lost pix then ether of the other 2 reasons I mentioned, IMO.
Use whatever method YOU prefer for whatever reason YOU prefer it.
I prefer using Photobucket, recommend it and will continue to use and recommend it over the uploaded to iboats method because it puts nice big pix IN my posts and they dont have to be opened to be viewed and can be embedded directly into my text descriptions of whatever I've posted a pix of.....
